(Verse 1)
Loved you in shades of wrong, sky was blue then came the storm.
Cold was my darkest nights, somehow with you felt warm.
(Pre chorus)
You got away, your biggest escape, you got away, my biggest break.
(Chorus)
Tore myself down in pieces, on the nights i slept with my heart beating.
Calmed me down, kissed my cheek, in my mind thats how you were treating.
If you were the sun, why did you rain on my parade?
If you were a bright light, why did i fade?
In my conscious, thats how you were treating.
(Verse 2)
When i talked to you on the phone, you were the best man.
But when you had on me your hands, i saw a boy with the worst plan.
(Pre chorus)
Looking up, looking down, you made me feel guilty looking in your eyes.
(Chorus)
Tore myself down in pieces, on the nights i slept with my heart beating.
Calmed me down, kissed my cheek, in my mind thats how you were treating.
If you were the sun, why did you rain on my parade?
If you were a bright light, why did i fade?
In my conscious, thats how you were treating.
(Bridge)
Even if i were to burn my soul to ashes, youd use them to make a new me.
And maybe with her, you can do whatever you want and she wont flee.
Maybe she'll be your type, and maybe she'll make you right.
But both of us know, when someone tries to make it right, you put on a fight.
And in silent nights, when you held me close, things felt nice.
But in noisy days, i was the battleship and you rolled the dice.
And thats how you were treating.
All this time, my heart was beating.
Not from feverishness, but from fretfulness.
(Outro)
In my mind, you were treating.
But in my conscious, i needed treating.
