How to Pronounce
  • Took me over to your house to meet your family
    Introduce me to them, saying that you'd marry me
    Then you'd look me in the eye and say, "It's just a joke"
    Then you'd kiss me and I'd smile, did you even know?
    When you'd say that kinda thing, I'd be excited
    Got me hoping maybe one day you would mean it
    Always thought I'd only make a fool of someone else
    Now you've only gone and made me make one of myself
    I guess that flowers aren't just used for big apologies
    I guess I should've been more conscious how you spoke to me
    'Cause when we'd fight, you'd give me space and not communicate
    And for a while I thought that's what I should appreciate
    Maybe I was holding onto what I thought you were
    But when you think too hard, eventually it starts to hurt
    The version of you in my head, now I know wasn't true
    Young people fall for the wrong people, guess my one was you
    I was getting any flight so we could make it work
    You'd ignore me, coulda told me you were seeing her
    Kinda hate myself for justifying your mistakes
    Took a minute but I learned that shit the hard way
    Who are you to tell me I can't be heartbroken?
    Babe, you had the chance, the door for you was open
    If it's what you need to tell yourself to sleep at night
    Pretend I haven't found a man who finally treats me right
    I guess that flowers aren't just used for big apologies
    I guess I should've been more conscious how you spoke to me
    'Cause when we'd fight, you'd give me space and not communicate
    And for a while I thought that's what I should appreciate
    Maybe I was holding onto what I thought you were
    But when you think too hard, eventually it starts to hurt
    The version of you in my head, now I know wasn't true
    Young people fall for the wrong people, guess my one was you
    If there's anything I've learned, it's you should watch yourself
    If it's hurting you, then leave and go and get some help
