[Lyric] Brain Washed (Zora Montague)

Verse One:

I wore makeup when i liked you
'Cause I thought you'd like me more
If I looked like the other popular girls
I know that you loved before
Tried so hard to be everything that you liked
Just for you to say you believe them over me
And I knew how you felt about some things
And your favorite album by heart
I read into all of your texts so much
So you'd think that I was smart
Stupid, emotional, paranoid little me
I knew from the start this is exactly how you'd leave

Chorus:

You got brainwashed by them
The next second, you were gone
And you left me there cryin', wondering' what I did wrong
And you always say I'm never satisfied
But that’s never true
Because every time i was on cloud nine was because i was happy for you
And all I ever wanted was to be there for you
Verse Two:

And maybe I'm just not as interesting
As the girls you had before
But God, you couldn't have cared less
About someone who liked you more
I'd say you broke my heart
But you broke much more than that
Now I don't want your sympathy
I just want myself back

Chorus:

You got brain washed by them
The next second, you were gone
And you left me there cryin', wonderin' what I did wrong
And you always say I'm never satisfied
But that’s never true
Because every time i was on cloud nine was because i was happy for you

Bridge:

Don't you think I gave you too much to be used and discarded?
Don't you think I gave you too much to think I deserve nothing?
But don't tell me you’re sorry
I already forgave you
Verse Three:

'Cause someday we’ll both be lost and shivering
And you’ll need someone to hold you while your crying
And I’ll be the one denying

Outro/Chorus:

And you always say I'm never satisfied
But that's not me, it's you
Because every time i was on cloud nine was because i was happy for you
And all I ever wanted was to be there for you
There for you-oh-oh
There for you-oh-oh
