[Verse 1]

I'm fallin' on the sheets in the mornin'

Wondering where she's been all evenin'

When she told me that she'd leave me for Ethan

In my mind, I had the guts to believe that

Everything would be right as you said

I had no reason to pick up on all the loose ends

Always thought the best of you believin'

But now this little boy woke up to false beliefs and

[Pre-Chorus]

It's been two hours from the time we set our clocks to meet up

If you had only gave me time, I swear I could've told ya

And now I'm sittin' in between my mates, but feeling older

They told me Ethan wouldn't do a thing so I'll keep my head up

But now it's been too long, it's twice the time, oh, I had enough

Of being strong and weak at the same time while we're sitting ducks

Waiting for the confidence I had in you to bite me in the bum

But you told me Ethan wouldn't do a thing so I keep my head up

[Chorus]

Then I saw you in the car

Looked over there in the harbor's side

I couldn't see, but I recognized

I should've known you were a house of lies

The weight is pulled off of your seat

And at the end, it just adds up to his

Two shades high off a gateway drug

You and Ethan did a thing though I still keep my head up

[Post-Chorus]

Ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh

[Verse 2]

The worst part of it all was that you weren't

Intoxicated, no excuses you could pull in

To save yourself and now you come back to me crawlin'

I don't know how you think that I could ever forgive

Someone who won't admit when she's fallen

Why don't you just run back to funny little Ethan?

Stop asking me to trust you while I'm still coughin'

All of the water from this pool you made me drown in

[Pre-Chorus]

It's been two hours from the time we set our clocks to meet up

If you had only gave me time, I swear I could've told ya

And now I'm sitting in between my mates but feelin' older

They told me Ethan wouldn't do a thing so I keep my head up

But now it's been too long, it's twice the time, oh, I had enough

Of being strong and weak at the same time while we're sitting ducks

Waiting for the confidence I had in you to bite me in the bum

But you told me Ethan wouldn't do a thing so I keep my head up

[Chorus]

Then I saw you in the car

Looked over there in the harbor's side

I couldn't see, but I recognized

I should've known you were a house of lies

The weight is pulled off of your seat

And at the end, it just adds up to his

Two shades high off a gateway drug

You and Ethan did a thing though I still keep my head up

[Post-Chorus]

Ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh

[Chorus]

Then I saw you in the car

Looked over there in the harbor's side

I couldn't see, but I recognized

I should've known you were a house of lies

The weight is pulled off of your seat

But at the end, it just adds up to his

Two shades high off a gateway drug

You and Ethan did a thing, was I just not enough?
