lyrics

There's two sides to every story
But I know you're never gonna tell yours properly
I'm so sick of sorry after the explosion (Explosion)
Baby, just stop exploding
'Cause it's self-sabotage and you know it

It's getting obvious, nothing I do
Will ever be good enough for you
Yeah, you're always on my case
You're pushing me, pushing me
Pushing me, pushing me away
Keepin' me hostage to all of my mistakes
You're not even meeting me, meeting me
Meeting me, meeting me halfway

You're so self-destructive
And I'm just tired of taking all of the punches
It's so unproductive after the implosion (Implosion)
You're trying to pretend like you never imploded
And it's unrealistic and you know it

It's getting obvious, nothing I do
Will ever be good enough for you
Yeah, you're always on my case
You're pushing me, pushing me
Pushing me, pushing me away
Keepin' me hostage to all of my mistakes
You're not even meeting me, meeting me
Meeting me, meeting me halfway

It's getting obvious, nothing I do
Will ever be good enough for you
It's getting obvious, nothing I do
Will ever be good enough for you
It's getting obvious, nothing I do
Will ever be good enough for you
It's getting obvious, nothing I do
Will ever be good enough...

Why does it feel like I'm always in trouble?
The way you manipulate me is so subtle
All that I wanted was someone to cuddle
Now you've got me trapped inside of your bubble

Yeah, you're always on my case
You're pushing me, pushing me
Pushing me, pushing me away
Keepin' me hostage to all of my mistakes
You're not even meeting me, meeting me
Meeting me, meeting me halfway

It's getting obvious, nothing I do
Will ever be good enough for you
It's getting obvious, nothing I do
Will ever be good enough for you
It's getting obvious, nothing I do
Will ever be good enough for you
It's getting obvious, nothing I do
Will ever be good enough for you
