lyrics

[Verse]
You made it look so pretty
Sugarcoat like candy
Bet you’ll miss me
I’ve never been so happy

Listen
I’m gonna walk right through this door
You won't see me anymore
I’m better off

[Chorus]
cause it ain't the first time
There’s pictures on the walls of someone else
Wish all colors in the world would fail to show me
It’s everything I wanted us to be
But please save me all your roses and knives

[Verse]
You made me feel so lonely
Wish I never met ya
But I’m only
Looking out for love

I bet you would make me
Look the other way
There’s so much left to say
But it’s enough

[Chorus]
cause it ain't the first time
There’s pictures on the walls of someone else
Wish all colors in the world would fail to show me
It’s everything I wanted us to be
But please save me all your roses and knives

[Bridge]
I'm dying
to find the kind of love
That I'm made of

But somehow
I know the sweetest things
ain't built to last

[Chorus]
cause it ain't the first time
There’s pictures on the walls of someone else
Wish all colors in the world would fail to show me
It’s everything I wanted us to be
But please save me all your roses and knives
