V1:
Am I really that person?
To be bringing up my ex when we're laying up in bed
Am I really that woman?
Who can't let go of the past
Didn't think I was that bad
But lately I've been getting called out on my shit
Never meant to hurt all the ones I did
And I'm sorry for that
Cause even after all this time
My heart won't let me cross that line
And I hate you for the fact that I
Never wanna love another
And yeah so what I am afraid
I just keep pushing them all away
And the truth is you made me this way
Hook:
You
Made me this way, you made me, you made me,
you made this way (X2)
V2:
Am I really that person to be counting up regrets and smoking cigarettes
I mean, have gone crazy
Cause the way I’m acting out, no that even like me
And every time I’m pulling myself up on track
Your name pops up and my mind is sent back
To the pain that we went through
And yeah so what I am afraid
I just keep pushing them all away
And the truth is you made me this way
Hook Repeat

V1:
I know you hate getting emotional in public but I had to do this now or never,
cause holding on is not an option when it hurts this bad hurts too bad.
I did everything in my whole being to be there but it was never enough.
I sacrificed my soul my freedom and still you find a way to put the blame on me
Hook:
You know it’s not my fault, that you needed me, when I needed myself, yeah you know it’s not my fault, that you needed help, but you couldn’t help yourself, yeah you know it’s not my fault, that you needed me when I needed myself, yeah you know it’s not my fault, not my, not my.
V2:
Always act like your the only ones who’s healing, as if I don’t replay the day I left you in the city, as if you had more options left to give me, I’m tired, yeah i’m tired. I’m tired of all these explanations, empty conversations, can’t see eye to eye, well I tried I tried. And I’ve been steady praying on it,
promised myself I’d be honest yeah you have to understand I did the best I can, but
Hook:
You know it’s not my fault, that you needed me, when I needed myself, yeah you know it’s not my fault, that you needed help, but you couldn’t help yourself, yeah you know it’s not my fault, that you needed me when I needed myself, yeah you know it’s not my fault, not my, not my.
Bridge:
I couldn’t love you enough for you to love yourself, I couldn’t put my heart and my dreams up on the shelf, I gave you everything I had and you put me through hell, you put me through hell. (x2)
Chorus Repeat

V1:
It's been a long time I know it,
But listen I can give you something you can hold onto for the night baby
A little something that could help us through.
Cause we don't need all the complication
And I know it would be amazing with you, with you, you.
So let's stop being shy,
You should come inside, it was written on your face so we can just stop wasting time.
Don't need to think it through love, if you're cool I'm cool too, I'm cool too.
Hook:
So don't you deny it, we shouldn't fight this, cause I know what you need I know you need my company.
So I won't deny it, I say we try this, cause I know what I need and I know I need your company.
V2:
It feels good yeah I know it,
I wish we never would have hesitated, but it's probably better that we waited for this.
So you should come a little closer, I don't wanna miss this moment with you, with you.
So let's stop being shy,
You should come inside, it was written on your face so we can just stop wasting time.
Don't need to think it through love, if you're cool I'm cool too, I'm cool too.
Hook Repeat:
Bridge:
What's the sense in hiding our feelings, when we both don't wanna be lonely anymore.
Don't need to ask a million questions, when you could be mind and I could be yours, yours.
Hook Repeat:

[Verse 1]
What have you done to me?
I promised myself that you were just temporary company
But I've been acting strange, so
Let me explain myself
No it wasn't in my intention to feel this way
[Pre-Chorus]
And I don't wanna ruin what we got going
Cause I'd take what I can rather than having nothing
I hope you understand where I'm coming from
I just need to get it off my chest
[?] to rest so, here goes
[Chorus]
I wanna be, I wanna be
More than temporary
I wanna be, I wanna be
More than ordinary
I wanna be, I wanna be
More than temporary
I wanna be, I just wanna be more
[Verse 2]
You should [?] up to
Why do you keep holding back when you know you could be close to me?
We drew a line but sometimes the line gets blurry
And if honesty is our policy, then just hear me out
Just hear me out
[Pre-Chorus]
Cause I don't wanna ruin what we got going
And I'd take what I can rather than having nothing
I hope you understand where I'm coming from, my chest
Need to get it off my chest
Need to lay it all to rest so, here goes
We're cut from the same cloth
Both too afraid to let it go
Both too afraid to let it show
But if I go first will you follow?
But if I jump first willl you follow?
Cause I just need to know your heart
[Chorus]
I wanna be, I wanna be
More than temporary (wanna be)
I wanna be, I wanna be
More than ordinary (wanna be)
I wanna be, I wanna be
More than temporary (I just wanna be)
I wanna be, I just wanna be more
I wanna be, I wanna be
More than temporary
I wanna be, I wanna be
More than ordinary (I wanna be)
I wanna be, I wanna be
More than temporary
I wanna be, I just wanna be more
