Lyrics - Transcribed by Austin Menso

[Intro]
Oh heavens, hear my story
A cautionary tale
Of how I came to be love
And how it, came to fail

[Verse 1]
A first time, for lovers
A first time, an agony
The truths you will uncover
Will knock you on your knees

[Pre-Chorus]
I gave it too much
I gave myself up
I lost sight of all my dignity

I’ve always been smart
My chameleon heart
Took your draining personality

[Chorus]
And gave it to me
I wanted to please you
This performance of a lifetime
My heart, do you hand it
You took it for granted
And made me the villain all along

[Verse 2]
I struggle, through the winter
Found cheat codes, to your soul
Was born to bе a giver
Destined to pay thе toll

[Pre-Chorus]
I gave it too much
I gave myself up
I lost sight of all my dignity

I’ve always been smart
My chameleon heart
Took your draining personality

[Chorus]
And gave it to me
I wanted to please you
This performance of a lifetime

My heart, do you hand it
You took it for granted
And made me the villain all -
[Bridge]
Inside you, there’s a guiltless child
Who never saw his mother smile

A boy, who had no sense of home
Believes he’s better off alone

Who coils up, in jealousy
To mask his insecurities

And I can’t fix you
God, I tried

The hourglass I shattered
Just in time

[Outro]
I gave it too much
I gave myself up
I lost sight of all my dignity

One more love affair’s
Cautionary tales
Continue to happen to me
