"Crisis" lyrics

My label said to never waste a crisis
And here I am, guitar in my hand, in the middle of one, hmm
And, honestly, I didn't wanna write this
Don't know if I can, still holdin' back, still wanna run
And if you get to tell your truth, then so do I
And it's cool if you want me to play the bad guy

But don't you dare act like I didn't love you
Don't go thinkin' that I didn't hurt too
Don't you ever wonder if I'm okay after all you put me through?
Half the shit you're sayin' is only half true
You're messin' with my life as a career move
I can't help but wonder, why you won't make it end?
Guess you would never dare, you would never dare
To waste a crisis

My mama called 'cause she heard I got death threats
Oh, what the hell am I supposed to do with that?
Oh, I wish that I could open my eyes and the nightmare be over
But you sensationalize, keep fannin' the fire for the headlines

But don't you dare act like I didn't love you
Don't go thinkin' that I didn't hurt too
Don't you ever wonder if I'm okay after all you put me through?
Half the shit you're sayin' is only half true
Messin' with my life as a career move
I can't help but wonder, why you won't make it end?
Guess you would never dare, you would never dare
To waste a crisis

Weren't you the one who left in the first place?
Weren't you the one who called things off?
Was it an act to love me or an act to hate me?

Don't you dare act like I didn't love you
Don't go thinkin' that I didn't hurt too
Don't you ever wonder if I'm okay after all you put me through?
Half the shit you're sayin' is only half true
Messin' with my life as a career move
I can't help but wonder, why you won't make it end?
But you would never dare, you would never dare
To waste a crisis
