Lyrics
[verse]
I built you a version of me you adored
handed you keys to a heart I ignored
now you're all in and I'm halfway out the door
I got what I wanted, don't want it no more
[chorus]
I hate how gently you fell for me
learned every line that I fed to your dreams
now you say my name like a lullaby
and I'm the one, I'm the one who has to say goodbye
[verse]
I painted the picture, I set every scene
you fell for the girl who was never quite me
so tender, so certain, so easy to keep
I'm cruel in the softest, most beautiful sleep
[chorus]
I hate how gently you fell for me
learned every line that I fed to your dreams
now you say my name like a lullaby
and I'm the one, I'm the one who has to say goodbye
[bridge]
Careful what you conjure, it comes when you call
I wanted the win but I hated it all
the trophy still shines but it's cold in my hand
I'm sorry, I'm sorry you loved who I am
[chorus]
I hate how gently you fell for me
learned every line that I fed to your dreams
now you say my name like a lullaby
and I'm the one, I'm the one who has to say goodbye
