## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**

"I don’t know" is all you have to say

All I want is honesty from you lately

You don’t care, acting so indifferent

And you know it, yeah you know it

**[Pre-Chorus]**

So many reasons for you and I

To go and leave one another behind

I do not want it like that, like that

All of the times that you fucked my head

Go on and do that with another instead

Cause I do not want it like that, like that

**[Chorus]**

I was your treasure, treasure, treasure

I was your treasure

I was your treasure, treasure, treasure

I was your treasure

**[Verse 2]**

Late in the night, you wonder what I’m hiding

Calling me out, you’re drunk I’m tired fighting

Silent treatment, my heart’s beating

Is all we had now lost?

Yeah you know it, yeah you know it

**[Pre-Chorus]**

So many reasons for you and I

To go and leave one another behind

I do not want it like that, like that

All of the times that you fucked my head

Go on and do that with another instead

Cause I do not want it like that, like that

**[Chorus]**

I was your treasure, treasure, treasure

I was your treasure

I was your treasure, treasure, treasure

I was your treasure

**[Bridge]**

I don’t even bother anymore

But say something, say something, say something

We can’t get along like this no more

Just say something, say something

**[Chorus]**

I was your treasure, treasure, treasure

I was your treasure

I was your treasure, treasure, treasure

I was your treasure
