Consequences
Lyrics:
[English]
Dirty tissues, trust issues
Glasses on the sink, they didn't fix you
Lonely pillows in a stranger's bed
Little voices in my head
Secret keeping, stop the bleeding
Lost a little weight because I wasn't eating
All the songs that I can't listen to
To tell the truth
Loving you was young and wild and free
Loving you was cool and hot and sweet
Loving you was sunshine, safe and sound
A steady place to let down my defenses
But loving you had consequences
Hesitation, awkward conversation
Running on low expectation
Every siren that I was ignoring
I'm paying for it
Loving you was young and wild and free
Loving you was cool and hot and sweet
Loving you was sunshine, safe and sound
A steady place to let down my defenses
But loving you had consequences
No, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Said, no, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
...
Hey, yeah, no, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Mmm
Loving you was dumb, dark and cheap
Loving you will still take shots at me
Found loving you was sunshine, but then it poured
And I lost so much more than my senses
'Cause loving you had consequences
...
Loving you...
...
