Lyrics

Shady

Trying to figure it out
Trying to see what it's about
Hoping to make some sense of this
Starting to wrap my head around it

I could be someone
Someone that'll lie
But I'd be missing the real person I am
Wish you didn't change
So they stayed the same
So I feel like me again

Do you really wanna go there?
I'm tired of leading you on
I'm done actin' shady
Do you really think I'm sorry?
I tried to move it along
But this is over, baby

Reaching for something that ain't mine
Someone that I used to spend time with
One day, I hope you'll talk to me
I feel just like we used to be

I could be someone
Someone that'll lie
But I'd be missing the real person I am
Wish you didn't change
So they stayed the same
So I felt like me again

Do you really wanna go there?
I'm tired of leading you on
I'm done actin' shady
Do you really think I'm sorry?
I tried to move it along
But this is over, baby

This is over, baby (this is over, baby)

I could be someone
Someone that'll lie
But I'd be missing the real person I am
Wish you didn't change
So they stayed the same
So I felt like me again
