[Intro: Doug Middlebrook]
Here's the thing: you're in love with a version of a person that you've created in your head, that you are trying to but cannot fix. Uh, the only thing you can fix is yourself. I love you, this has gone on way too long. Enough is enough. I'm two blocks away; I'm coming over
[Verse 1: Ariana Grande]
Painted a picture; I thought I knew you well
I got a habit of seeing what isn't there
Caught in the moment, tangled up in your sheets
When you broke my heart, I said you only wanted half of me
[Pre-Chorus: Ariana Grande]
My imagination's too creative
They see demon, I see angel, angel, angel
Without the halo, wingless angel
[Chorus: Ariana Grande]
Falling, falling, but I never thought you'd leave me
Falling, falling, needed something to believe in, oh
I thought that you were the one
But it was all in my head
It was all in my head (Skrrt, skrrt)
[Post-Chorus: Ariana Grande]
Yeah, look at you, boy, I invented you
Your Gucci tennis shoes, runnin' from your issues
Cardio good for the heart (For the heart, for the heart)
I figure we can work it out, hmm
[Verse 2: Ariana Grande]
Painted a picture; I thought I drew you well
I had a vision of seeing what isn't there
Caught in the moment, tangled up in your sheets
When you broke my heart, said you only wanted half of me
[Pre-Chorus: Ariana Grande]
My imagination's too creative
They see Cain and I see Abel (Abel), Abel (Abel), Abel
I know you're able, willing and able
[Chorus: Ariana Grande]
Falling, falling, but I thought that you would need me
Falling, falling, needed something to believe in, oh
I thought that you were the one
But it was all in my head
It was all in my head (Skrrt, skrrt)
[Post-Chorus: Ariana Grande]
Yeah, look at you, boy, I invented you
Your Gucci tennis shoes, runnin' from your issues
Cardio good for the heart (For the heart, for the heart)
I figure we can work it out, hmm
[Bridge: Ariana Grande]
Wanted you to grow, but, boy, you wasn't budding
Everything you are made you everything you aren't
I saw your potential without seein' credentials
Maybe that's the issue (Yeah, yeah)
Said maybe that's the issue, ah
Can't hold that shit against you, ah
Yes, I did it to myself, yeah
Thought you were somebody else, you
[Outro]
Thought you were somebody else, you (You)
Thought you were somebody else, you
