Lyrics
Patience could've done us well
'Cause I could tell that all we lack was presence
Then I would've fell, you could've helped
But here's to being honest
Neither of us knew what we wanted
But all we knew is that we cared
Still all we painted was a moment
And when I walked away
I left footsteps in the mud so you could follow me
And when I walked away
I left footsteps in the mud so you could follow me
You're so bad at holding water, slips right through your fingers
We'd both end up drowning, it would hit the ground
And then the path would wash away
Wash away
Look
And I really wanna work this out 'cause I'm tired of fighting
And I really hope you still want me the way I want you
And it really feels like this shit been on autopilot
And it's a habitual
The bitch I am, but not the chick you want
Residual damage left in place of what was beautiful
Excuses only work when what we've done is still excusable
You let the truth unfold
But still, cheers to being honest
Neither of us knew what we wanted
But all we knew is that we cared
Still all we painted was a moment
And when I walked away
I left footsteps in the mud so you could follow me
And when I walked away
I left footsteps in the mud so you could follow me
You're so bad at holding water, slips right through your fingers
We'd both end up drowning, it would hit the ground
And then the path would wash away
Wash away
You are a vision of perfection
In my eyes, I was caught up in a blessin'
Didn't realize how it wasn't fair to compare
All the things I knew that I've been through
As if you didn't have anything that you went through
I treated you like medicine
But I guess I wasn't listening
When you tried to explain that you had hurt and pain, too
But as long as I felt better, then it was all good
But we wasn't good
So convinced that things were understood
Meanwhile, I had baggage to unpack
And I just had to admit that
Still dealing with the battles, feeling so inadequate
And I know that I should've stayed
But at the time, it felt like I had to quit
And I know that you probably thinking
Just I ain't thinking 'bout myself
But you still playing in my head to this day talking 'bout
You could've helped
But still, cheers to being honest
Neither of us knew what we wanted
But all we knew is that we cared
Still all we painted was a moment
And when I walked away
I left footsteps in the mud so you could follow me
And when I walked away
I left footsteps in the mud so you could follow me
You're so bad at holding water, slips right through your fingers
We'd both end up drowning, it would hit the ground
And then the path would wash away
Wash away (wash away)
