The Way You Apologize

(الألبوم: Country Music Made Me Do It - 2018)

Phone turned down, front door locked
Just sitting here alone on the live talk
Hiding out with a six pack
It's not strong enough to keep me from wanting you back
Trying to not be yours for the taking
But the power of your persuasion
Wears me down, makes me weak
Lately ain't been on a winning streak
That needs to end
So here I am

I hate the way you smell like someone else's brand of cigarettes
I hate the way I know what I know inside, I just can't prove it yet
I'm moving on, I just haven't passed the point of no return
I swear sometimes it feels like the only thing I've learned
Is that I hate the way you lie
But damn I love the way you apologize

I know right now, wherever you are
You're probably talking to some girl in a bar
Buying time and making comeback plans
Thinking of a story I'll understand
And then you show up here, and fall apart
Make it all about your broken heart
I'll fight you back the best I can
For a little while, I think I'll win
But they say this game
Always ends the same

I hate the way that I always believe you when you say you've changed
I hate the way that I always find out the truth the hard way
I'm moving on, I just haven't passed the point of no return
I swear sometimes it feels like the only thing I've learned
Is that I hate the way you lie
But damn I love the way you apologize

All night, 'til there's sunlight through the curtains
And I tell myself it's okay 'cause no one's perfect

I'm moving on, I just haven't passed the point of no return
I swear sometimes it feels like the only thing I've learned
Is that I hate the way you lie
But damn I love the way you apologize
