"Cheap Cologne" lyrics

I get too attached to trusting better halves
In a flash, we lost all that we had
I feel guilty every time we laugh
'Cause I couldn't see behind your mask

Could it be the timing or the wrong place?
Getting sick of hearing you say "always"
Show a little effort, and that's all it takes

How can love feel safe with a seed of doubt? (Oh-oh)
All the nights I prayed you would be around (Oh-oh)
No-o-o
Please don't go
Said that it was never your fault, who was keeping count? (Oh-oh)
Guess that I thought it would even out (Oh-oh)
Oh-oh-oh
Now I kno-o-ow we'd never last like cheap cologne
Last like cheap cologne, last like cheap cologne

Word to my preacher, I dig a little deeper
'Cause sometimes what's real don't always show on the surface
Don't matter how I treat her, you see it in her demeanor
Like how we call it love if we gon' end it all on purpose?

Could it be the timing or the wrong place?
Getting sick of hearing you say "always"
Show a little effort, and that's all it takes

How can love feel safe with a seed of doubt? (Oh-oh)
All the nights I prayed you would be around (Oh-oh)
No-o-o
Please don't go
Said that it was never your fault, who was keeping count? (Oh-oh)
Guess that I thought it would even out (Oh-oh)
Oh-oh
Now I kno-ow we'd never last like cheap cologne
Last like cheap cologne, last like cheap cologne
