You Knew the Terms
Track 7 of Maybe I’m the Problem
[ Lyrics ]
I said 'casual' — don’t cry now ‘cause you fell in love. You saved my name as 'angel' in your phone, got me front row at the Malibu show. You like how I laugh when the wine’s been poured, but you don’t like it when I leave your door. Said you wanted something light and loose, now you're drafting vows in your lunchtime snooze. I wore your jacket, not your ring, didn’t even let you plan the thing. I wasn’t vague, I wasn’t sweet with the truth — said I’m passing through. No futures drawn in pen, just tonight, again. You knew the terms when you let me in, no guarantee I’d stay till the end. You knew, you knew — don’t cry now ‘cause you fell in love. I was never yours, just someone you brushed against and hoped would stick like luck. You knew, you knew — don’t cry now ‘cause you fell in love. Saw the shared playlist titled 'Always', guess you thought we’d last through the fall. You added songs I never heard, called it 'us' like I gave the word. I said 'no labels', you said 'we’ll see', now you're mad 'cause I won’t commit to even dinner on a Sunday night — said I’m cold, but baby, that ain’t right. I wasn’t hiding, I wasn’t blind — said I’m not the kind. You liked the spark, the scene, but not the space between. You knew the terms when you let me in, no guarantee I’d stay till the end. You knew, you knew — don’t cry now ‘cause you fell in love. I was never yours, just someone you brushed against and hoped would stick like luck. You knew, you knew — don’t cry now ‘cause you fell in love. You filmed me dancing in the kitchen light, posted it with 'mine' — that ain’t right. I smiled for the moment, not the future, didn’t sign no digital capture. You wanted a queen, I’m a guest who left, with lipstick on the glass and no regrets. You knew the terms when you let me in, no guarantee I’d stay till the end. You knew, you knew — don’t cry now ‘cause you fell in love. I was never yours, just someone you brushed against and hoped would stick like luck. You knew, you knew — don’t cry now ‘cause you fell in love. You knew… Don’t cry now 'cause you fell in love. analog filter sweep → phone unlock SFX → 'read' receipt notification tone → silence
