Tragic Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Why would you swim in my tide just to muddy my waters?
Why would you learn me so deep just to play in my mind?
Stolen some years
Cried every tear
Climbed every mountain
Why would I lay down my pride?
Let you win every fight
Can't say I didn't try

[Chorus]
I had to get up and run
Did it for the both of us
Never had the guts
Would have stayed stuck
Had to sever the rope
Before it killed us both
Before we went up in smoke
It's tragic
I had to get up and run
Did it for the both of us
You were never the one
We never had it
And it's tragic
[Verse 2]
Alone In a new city
We found home in each other
All the things that felt wrong brought us closer together
It gets cold in the winter
Kissed you warm in the kitchen
Shared that darkest with ya
Can't give more than I gave ya
I needed help if I'm being honest
So I got to work solving your problems
f*ck all my priorities Save it for a rainy day

[Chorus]
I had to get up and run
Did it for the both of us
Never had the guts
Would have stayed stuck
Had to sever the rope
Before it killed us both
Before we went up in smoke
It's tragic
I had to get up and run
Did it for the both of us
You were never the one
We never had it
And it's tragic
[Bridge]
If I could travel back in time I'd choose to never love you
At night I often fantasize
'Bout who I'd be if I never met you
If I had the chance
I'd go back where it all began
Take your hand say, "Not this man"
Stop it in its tracks
Words of wisdom I could give ya
Knowing me I wouldn't listen
But when you kissed him I know you felt it
Something wasn't right
Doesn't matter why
You just had to try
Had to play with fire
You never learn

[Outro]
Take it from me
Would you take it from
You don't have to learn this one the hard way
