## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**

Dirty tissues, trust issues

Glasses on the sink, they didn't fix you

Lonely pillows in a strangers bed

Little voices in my head

Secret keeping, stop the bleeding

Lost a little weight because I wasn't eating

All the souls that I can't listen to, to tell the truth

**[Chorus 1]**

Loving you was young, and wild, and free

Loving you was cool, and hot, and sweet

Loving you was sunshine, safe and sound

A steady place to let down my defenses

But loving you had consequences

**[Verse 2]**

Hesitation, awkward conversation

Running on low expectation

Every sign that I was ignoring

I'm paying for it

**[Chorus 1]**

Loving you was young, and wild, and free

Loving you was cool, and hot, and sweet

Loving you was sunshine, safe and sound

A steady place to let down my defenses

But loving you had consequences

**[Chorus 2]**

Loving you was dumb, dark and cheap

Loving you still takes shots at me

Loving you was sunshine, but then it poured

And I lost so much more than my senses

'Cause loving you had consequences
