作曲 : Emily Vaughn
Was I seeing the best in you
Or was I inventing it?
'Cause I wanted the rest of you
How I was presenting it
Was I seeing the best in us?
Or was I expecting it
'Cause I wanted you more than the truth
I made a mess of it

Making up the version that I like
Swear that it made sense up in my mind
Ignoring all the signs, let 'em slip by
Reality's whatever I want it to be, right?

I've never been the best
At seeing shit for what it is
'Cause how I wrote it in my head
It didn't end up like this

Was I seeing the best in you
Or was I inventing it?
'Cause I wanted the rest of you
How I was presenting it
Was I seeing the best in us?
Or was I expecting it
'Cause I wanted you more than the truth
I made a mess of it

Breaking down the reasons for my walls
Keeping all the pieces that I want
Piece 'em all together so I could
The story that I wanna tell myself 'cause

I've never been the best
At seeing shit for what it is
'Cause how I wrote it in my head
It didn't end up like this

But then I thought I was perceptive as f***
Like I couldn't taste the lies upon your tongue
'Cause every time you pulled that shit, I didn't want
To believe it but I knew just what it was

Was I seeing the best in you
Or was I inventing it?
'Cause I wanted the rest of you
How I was presenting it
Was I seeing the best in us?
Or was I expecting it
'Cause I wanted you more than the truth
I made a mess of it
More than the truth
I wanted you more than the truth
And made a mess of it
