[Verse 1]

And in the night, it was a drunken stutter

Started as a next to nothing conversation

And then he's tearing me out

Taking me apart at my friend's house

I was uncomfortable, I was hurt

Still with blue innocence in his eyes

I felt my reasoning was harsh

[Verse 2]

With every stab wound and exhale, I promised myself

That I would never lose my youthful fears of grown up men

I'm scarred with cruel intentions

I thought of another the whole time

Who would have never stared me like that

See, he saw me as a human

This one thinks I'm a slaughterhouse

[Pre-Chorus]

He pretends that he's understanding

And you know in the grand scheme of everything

He's probably called a nice man

Or an ordinary kind of man

Or a stereotype with strong hands, I'm so sad

At how little joy I realized within my time with my ex guy

Before these statues arrived

[Chorus]

Romance is dead and done

And it hits between the eyes on this side

The grass is dead and barren

And it hurts between my thighs on this side

[Verse 3]

I could begin to open up and risk desire

For I move slower and quieter than most

I grew up too quick and I still forgive too slow

Oh, I wish there was another way

[Chorus]

Romance is dead and done

And it hits between the eyes on this side

The grass is dead and barren

And it hurts between my thighs on this side

[Bridge]

See me here, meet me here

I don't care if it's not repeated

I want to know who you are

For every second we outrun the moon, dread the sun come up

I want to know who you are

So I don't have to check my stuff's still here when you're gone

I want to know who you are

I want to know who you were

[Chorus]

Romance is dead and done

And it hits between the eyes on this side

The grass is dead and barren

And it hurts between my thighs on this side

[Outro]

This side

This side

This side

This side
