[Verse 1]
Em7
Patience could've done us well
Bm7 Em7
'Cause I could tell that all we lack was presence
Bm7
And I would've fell, you could've helped
[Pre-Chorus]
Em7
But here’s to being honest
Bm7
Neither of us knew what we wanted
Em7
But all we knew is that we cared
Bm7
Still all we painted was a moment
[Chorus]
Em7
And when I walked away
Bm7
I left footsteps in the mud so you could follow me
Em7
And when I walked away
Bm7
I left footsteps in the mud so you could follow me
Em7
You’re so bad at holding water, slips right through your fingers
Bm7
We'd both end up drowning, it would hit the ground
Em7 Bm7
And then the path would wash away, wash away
[Verse 2]
Em7
Yeah
Bm7
And I really wanna work this out 'cause I'm tired of fightin'
Em7 Bm7
And I really hope you still want me the way I want you
Em7 Bm7
And it really feels like this shit been on autopilot
Em7
And it's habitual to be the bitch I am, but not the chick you want
Bm7
Residual damage left in place of what was beautiful
Em7
Excuses only work when what we've done is still excusable
Bm7
You let the truth unfold
[Pre-Chorus]
Em7
But here’s to being honest
Bm7
Neither of us knew what we wanted
Em7
But all we knew is that we cared
Bm7
Still all we painted was a moment
[Chorus]
Em7
And when I walked away
Bm7
I left footsteps in the mud so you could follow me
Em7
And when I walked away
Bm7
I left footsteps in the mud so you could follow me
Em7
You’re so bad at holding water, slips right through your fingers
Bm7
We'd both end up drowning, it would hit the ground
Em7 Bm7
And then the path would wash away, wash away
[Verse 3]
Em7
You are a vision of perfection
Bm7
In my eyes, I was caught up in a blessing
Em7
Didn't realize how it wasn't fair to compare
Bm7
All the things I know that I've been through
Em7
As if you didn't have anything that you went through
Bm7 Em7
I treated you like medicine, but I guess I wasn't listening
Bm7
And you tried to explain that you had hurt and pain, too
Em7
But as long as I felt better, then it was all good
Bm7 Em7
But we wasn't good, so convinced that things were understood
Bm7
Meanwhile, I had baggage to unpack, and I just had to admit that
Em7
Still dealing with the battles, feeling so inadequate
Bm7
And I know that I shoulda stayed
But at the time, it felt like I had to quit
Em7
And I know that you probably thinking
Just I ain't thinking 'bout myself
Bm7
But you still playing in my head to this day talking 'bout, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
You could've helped
Em7
But still, cheers to being honest
Bm7
Neither of us knew what we wanted (No)
Em7
But all we knew is that we cared (Uh)
Bm7
Still all we painted was a moment (Ah)
[Chorus]
Em7
And when I walked away
Bm7
I left footsteps in the mud so you could follow me
Em7
And when I walked away
Bm7
I left footsteps in the mud so you could follow me
Em7
You’re so bad at holding water, slips right through your fingers
Bm7
We'd both end up drowning, it would hit the ground
Em7 Bm7
And then the path would wash away, wash away (Wash away)
