Dead End - Anna Clendening

Eyes are on your phone

At the edge of my bed with your hand on my leg

What you smile for?

Was it something I said?

Is she back already?

Know that I shouldn’t get used to you

I keep my composure, used to being used by you

I don’t know what’s worse

That you walked in my room smelling like her perfume

Or that I called you first

Thought that I was immune, wouldn’t let you get any closer

I shouldn’t get used to you

Losing my composure, you love me being lost in you

You lie in my sheets, then lie to my face

I lie through my teeth and say I’m okay

Won’t settle for second place

You could say you want me, but

This time I mean it

I’m so sick of these dead-end feelings

Scrolling through my thoughts

At the edge of regret, got my hands on my head

I gotta cut you off, hope it hurts you like it hurt me

You’re gonna have to stop getting so used to me

Always crawling back to let you get the best of me

You lie in my sheets, then lie to my face (You lie to my face)

I lie through my teeth and say I’m okay (Said I’m okay)

Won’t settle for second place

You could say you want me, but

This time I mean it

I’m so sick of these dead-end feelings

Missed calls and text messages, I deserve more than this

Not just when I am missed or when she is just pissed off

At you and you tell her you’re through

You’ll crawl right on back in a day or two, déjà vu

I know you’ll never change and I will never stay

'Cause your lies, they stay the same

On my own, I will be okay

You lie in my sheets, then lie to my face

I lie through my teeth and say I’m okay

Won’t settle for second place

You could say you want me, but

Fuck if you mean it

I’m so sick of these dead-end feelings
