lyrics

Yellow sundress, your hesitant step
on the stairs where you saw me crying.
Salt air, your hands in my hair,
were the only things keeping me breathing.

Like I kept up the lies
that I was brave enough inside
to keep myself from leaving.

It wasn’t you, it was bad timing,
my cowardice looking
for a way out.
It wasn’t just a fling,
but I flung it in your face
on the way out.

Always been on the outside looking in,
your friends are so kind it’s alarming.
I wander the halls of what makes you happy;
you got it wrong, I don’t belong, it’s not me.

Cause I kept up the lies
that I was brave enough inside
to set aside propensities.

It wasn’t you, it was bad timing,
my cowardice looking
for a way out.
It wasn’t just a fling,
but I flung it in your face
on the way out.

Lay awake at night feeling like I’ve known you my whole life
Lay awake at night feeling like I blew a lifetime

It wasn’t you, it was bad timing,
my cowardice looking
for a way out.
It wasn’t just a fling
but I flung it in your face
on the way out.
