"Compliment" lyrics

"Compliment"

Honestly
Some things should be left alone, but it's hard for me
To sit here alone and stop romanticizin' things
To pick and choose the memories that I wanna keep
And honestly

I should say "thank you," I should be glad that we're talkin' at all
I should be countin' every word that falls from your tongue
'Cause I missed you so I called you
But I guess I didn't think through
How it'd hurt to hear you sound as happy as you do
'Cause nothing kills like a compliment from you

Say anything
Say somethin' mean that you'll regret
That makes me think that you're not so far past us yet
'Cause all of these nice things make me nervous
Is it on purpose? Please
Say anything

I should say "thank you," I should be glad that we're talkin' at all
I should be countin' every word that falls from your tongue
'Cause I missed you so I called you
But I guess I didn't think through
How it'd hurt to hear you sound as happy as you do
'Cause nothing kills like a compliment from you
Nothing kills like a compliment from you, ooh

I don't know what scares me more
The fact that you sound so happy
Or the fact that you don't care enough
To hurt me, I don't know what scares me
I don't know what scares me more
The fact that you sound so happy
Or the fact that you don't care enough
To hurt me, honestly

I should say "thank you," I should be glad that we're talkin' at all
I should be countin' every word that falls from your tongue
'Cause I missed you so I called you
But I guess I didn't think through
How it'd hurt to hear you sound as happy as you do
'Cause nothing kills like a compliment from you
Nothing kills like a compliment from you
And I hate to hear you say it even if it's true
Nothing kills like a compliment from you, ooh
