[Verse 1]

Like unrequited love

Or someone who forgot your birthday

When clothes don't fit just right

Or spilling your drink on a first date

Like lovers to enemies

Losing a friend, not the memories

When you put band-aids on relationships

Just for them to

[Pre-Chorus]

Rip it off

Is that how

You get off?

Oh

[Chorus]

Were you a curse or were you heaven-sent?

I think you're character development

To advance the plot line

Is it yours or is it mine?

I can't decide

Must be character development

Da dum da dum

Dum da da da da

Dum da dum da dum

Dum da da da da

[Verse 2]

Base movies on predictability and critic's reviews

Like how I could have seen this coming when I met you

Situations happen

But people happen too

Maybe that's why I met you (oooh)

[Pre-Chorus]

To piss you off (oh)

Oh won't you

Just move on

Oh

[Chorus]

Were you a curse or were you heaven-sent?

I think you're character development

To advance the plot line

Is it yours or is it mine?

I can't decide

Must be character development

[Bridge]

Now I leave early

So I don't get caught in L.A. traffic

Take people with a grain of salt

Because they're so dramatic

You taught me patience

And that distance isn't worse than toxic

Do you still criticize before you analyze?

[Chorus]

Were you a curse or were you heaven-sent?

I think you're character development

To advance the plot line

Is it yours or is it mine?

I can't decide

Must be character development

Were you a curse or were you heaven-sent?

I think you're character development

To advance the plot line

Is it yours or is it mine?

I can't decide

Must be character development
