[Lyric] Flesh Wound (Ali Nearon)

[Verse 1]
Yellow basket all trendy-like
That was the last time I got it right
'Cause you were long gone
By the time the candles were on the cake
From that moment on
Everything else was politely
Fake

Headlights were lighting up the freeway
No one knows what you said to me and
You squeezed my hand back when it meant something
Now you refuse to take it and stopped pretending

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And you got it off your chest
For honesty's sakе
'Cause it was killing you but now you're
Wide awakе

[Chorus]
Shouldn't have hurt this bad should've just left a scratch
It should've been a flesh wound
Something band-aids can fix someone I won't miss
But it cut me through and through
[Verse 2]
You walked to her shamelessly
Biting your thumb at me
Smile for the camera but don't be surprised
When your so-called "friends" were never really on your side

[Pre-Chorus 2]
And they say "you won't care soon enough"
But it's so hard to forget when they won't shut up

[Chorus]
Shouldn't have hurt this bad should've just left a scratch
It should've been a flesh wound
Something band-aids can fix someone I won't miss
But it cut me through and through

[Bridge]
You broke my bones
It cut through my heart
Supposed to only leave a scratch
But you tore me apart
I memorized the rhythm of your heartbeat
And when you're nervous the way you breathe
Streetlights all blurry from the smoke in my eyes
X marks the spot where you switched to the other side
And I wish this was something I could walk away from
But it's still a fatal blow when all is said and done
[Chorus]
Shouldn't have hurt this bad should've just left a scratch
It should've been a flesh wound
Something band-aids can fix someone I won't miss
But darling it wasn't just you
Who did some permanent damage baby
And you didn't even try to save me
Didn't even try
Didn't even try
That was the last time I got it right
