Desert - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

I know I had six months to just walk away

But you stuck around while I was still too afraid

Remember that night when he locked me out

And you let me stay over and crash on your couch

You slept on the floor because you didn’t want me to be alone

In the morning you said you would never leave me out in the cold

All day every day, we were glued to our phones

When we wanted to know everything there was to know

At night I thought of you as I planned my escape

Whilе he ranted and raved but nеver looked at my face

Falling out of love with him while I was falling in love with you

And you said you’d marry me the very first second you could

It gets so cold in the desert

But now you’re warmer than ever

I know I fucked with your head too

But what was I supposed to do?

I never knew which version of him I would get

Dr. Jekyll or Hyde, was always such a fine line

That night another fight, it was finally time

His macho shit, over it, and I left on my bike

When I got downtown another car was parked outside of your house

And I knew you were home but you didn’t even answer the door

You always said you loved me more than any before

By the time I left him I guess you’d gotten too bored

When I thought someone would save me, you and everyone else

Taught me the only way out is just to rescue myself

At least I had a reason to get myself out of that mess

But I can’t forgive how you just sat there while she tore me to shreds

It gets so cold in the desert

I guess you’re warmer than ever

You had her there to distract you

While I was broken and battered

It gets so cold in the desert

So now I bring my own sweater

I’ve got my friends and my band now

But I still think about you
