Songs I Write | IV

Miser at Gold

I asked you to be mine after we broke up several times
And I knew what the answer would be, but still it's killing me
I asked you to be mine when you kissed me before goodbye
And I knew the answer, honey, I knew the answer but still it's killing me, oh

I told you to leave, I wanted you to go
But I still look at your face like a miser at gold
And "don't call me baby, don't call me at all"
Said I never wanna see you 'round here anymore
And I meant every word, I was so damn sure
But your rejection cuts right to the core
I don't know why this hurts more

You tried to kiss me on the cheek but I dodged it entirely
And you knew I was hurt 'cause I went silent
In my head, I knew the truth, and I know the obstacles I can't move
And I knew you were hurt by it 'cause you went quiet

I told you to leave, I wanted you to go
But I still look at your face like a miser at gold
And "don't call me baby, don't call me at all"
Said I never wanna see you 'round here anymore
And I meant every word, I was so damn sure
But your rejection cuts right to the core
I don't know why this hurts more

You said you weren't ready and neither am I
And I got upset, but I know you're right
It just hurts to hear it aloud and in my face but what can I say?
You were right today
And I'm sorry I put you on the spot
And the tender touches I dodged
And making you feel like you did something wrong, for once you didn't, and I'm proud
It just hurts to hear it aloud

Even after I told you to leave, I wanted you to go
But I still look at your face like a miser at gold
And "don't call me baby, don't call me at all"
Said I never wanna see you 'round here anymore
And I meant every word, I was so damn sure
But your rejection cuts right to the core
I don't know why this hurts more

I asked you to be mine after we broke up
And I knew what the answer would be, but still it's killing me
I asked you to be mine though it's been a week and we barely talked
And I knew the answer, honey, I knew what the answer would be
I knew the answer
