  • I washed my hands of us at the club
    You made a mess of me
    I pictured you with other girls in love
    Then threw up on the street
    Like waiting for a bus that never shows
    You just start walkin' on
    They say that if it's right, you know
    Each bar plays our song
    Nothing has ever felt so wrong

    Oh my, love is a lie
    It's what my friends say to get me by
    It hits different
    It hits different this time
    Catastrophic blues
    Movin' on was always easy for me to do
    It hits different
    It hits different 'cause it's you
    ('Cause it's you)

    I used to switch out these Kens, I'd just ghost
    Rip the Band-Aid off and skip town like an unhinged outlaw
    Freedom felt like summer then on the coast
    Now the sun burns my heart and the sand hurts my feelings
    And I never don't cry (no, I never don't cry) at the bar
    Yeah, my sadness is contagious (my sadness is contagious)
    I slur your name 'til someone puts me in a car
    I stopped receiving invitations

    Oh my, love is a lie
    It's what my friends say to get me by
    It hits different
    It hits different this time
    Catastrophic blues
    Movin' on was always easy for me to do
    It hits different
    It hits different 'cause it's you
    ('Cause it's you)

    I find the artifacts, cried over a hat
    Cursed the space that I needed
    I trace the evidence, make it make some sense
    Why the wound is still bleedin'
    You were the one that I loved
    Don't need another metaphor, it's simple enough
    A wrinkle in time like the crease by your eyes
    This is why they shouldn't kill off the main guy
    Dreams of your hair and your stare and sense of belief
    In the good in the world, you once believed in me
    And I felt you and I held you for a while
    Bet I could still melt your world
    Argumentative, antithetical dream girl

    I heard your key turn in the door down the hallway
    Is that your key in the door?
    Is it okay? Is it you?
    Or have they come to take me away?
    To take me away

    Oh my, love is a lie
    It's what my friends say to get me by
    It hits different (it hits different)
    It hits different this time
    Catastrophic blues
    Movin' on was always easy for me to do
    It hits different (it hits different)
    It hits different 'cause it's you

    Oh, my, love is a lie
    It's what my friends say to get me by
    'Cause it's you
    Catastrophic blues
    Movin' on was always easy for me to do
    Yeah
