Common Sense

Were you gonna fight fair

Or only wear me down and say farewell?

You hit me with a blank stare

But never hold the mirror to yourself

You wanna move on, but you just can't quit it

You wanna be strong, but your heart's not in it

So baby, just walk away 'cause you'll find a way

To take what I said and spin it, oh

I saw your colors, but watched them fade

A silver platter, you hate the taste

If only you could hear yourself

You'd start to sound like someone else

We never had a sense in common

'Cause I was never what you wanted

Everybody knew the outcome

But maybe they forgot to let me know

Now I'ma keep my mouth shut

'Cause you'll just go and fuck it up all on your own

I thought that it might feel a bit concerning

A hit to the gut, but the world's still turning

To think I would bow down, but maybe I found out

That baby, the taste of your own medicine is the worst to go down

I saw your colors, but watched them fade

A silver platter, you hate the taste

If only you could hear yourself

You'd start to sound like someone else

We never had a sense in common

'Cause I was never what you wanted

Searching for a reason, do I even need this?

Seen it more than once before

Gonna be a long night, cry and say it's alright

More for you to self-absorb

Searching for a reason, do I even need this?

Seen it more than once before

We never had a sense in common

'Cause I was never what you wanted (yeah)

I saw your colors, but watched them fade (watched them fade)

A silver platter, you hate the taste (you hate the taste)

If only you (if only you) could hear yourself (could hear yourself)

You'd start to sound like someone else

We never had a sense in common

'Cause I was never what you wanted

I was never what you wanted
