[Verse 1]

I forgot the color of your eyes

Not so sure you ever really looked at mine

You said you wanna go back and try, try, try to treat me right, hmm

I never got the chance to meet your mother

You always said she'd love me but I'd hate her

I never really knew just quite how to take that

So I held back, yeah

[Chorus]

You kept me on the sidelines

Out of your heart, but on your timeline

Just enough love to keep me feelin' fine

Just enough game to keep you on my mind

You kept me on the sidelines

Out of your bones but on your skin at night

Just enough love to keep me feelin' fine

Just enough game to keep you on my mind

You kept me on the sidelines, sidelines

You kept me on the sidelines (Line, line)

[Verse 2]

I got used to shallow breaths

The sound of silence kinda broke my chest

And you checked out from you, yourself and I

And never let me know why

And never let me know why

[Chorus]

You kept me on the sidelines

Out of your heart, but on your timeline

Just enough love to keep me feelin' fine

Just enough game to keep you on my mind

You kept me on the sidelines

Out of your bones but on your skin at night

Just enough love to keep me feelin' fine

Just enough game to keep you on my mind

You kept me on the sidelines, sidelines

You kept me on the sidelines

[Outro]

I don't know what you mean when you cry

What is the secret there in your pride

I don't have time to think about why

Why you cut me on the side

Cut me on the side

Let me on the side

Let me on the side, bye

Why you let me on the

Huh
