"BRIGHTNESS" lyrics

I thought that you loved me
You took the skin off my bones when I heard what you'd been up to
Our love just turned ugly
And now I'm singing my songs way too late in the afternoon
I'm seeing black and grey right now
There's not a whole lot of brightness, no
I need to block your face right out
I'm trying so hard to fight this, oh

So tell me why, just, why am I the bad guy in your story?
Cause I heard last night that you
You got high and told the bad side of one story
To a whole group of guys who don't know me
Girl, talk about a waste of time
But at least I know you still hold me
Way too deep inside your mind

It's like you're tryna grind my name into nothing
Make your stories add up
Cause right now you're just bluffing
You took the ups and downs
Turned them into something so low
It's like you weren't around to see me and you
Like what's the point of all this trouble
Now talking til you're sore in your throat
It's like you're trying to believe that it's true
And baby I don't know
The time spent it took me to get over the news
About you getting down dirty with somebody I knew
But I didn't say nun'
No I didn't say nothing about
Nothing about you, oh

So tell me, why, just why am I the bad guy in your story?
Cause I heard last night that you
You got high and told the bad side of one story
To a whole group of guys who don't know me
Girl, talk about a waste of time
But at least I know you still hold me
Way too deep inside your mind
Like you are in mine
