Don’t make me pay 1

Lyrics

Verse 1 I’ll admit sometimes I scroll back Through the pictures on your feed See the way you looked beside him And wonder what you saw in me I know I’ve got some big shoes to fill Even knowing how he lied Sometimes I wish you loved me like You loved him before he changed your life But I know he left you hurting I know he broke what he should’ve saved And baby, I’m not asking you to forget it Just don’t make me pay Pre-Chorus For the things that he did wrong For the nights he made you doubt I’m not asking for his place I’m just asking for mine now Chorus Don’t make me pay for his mistakes Don’t make me carry all that weight I’m not the one who broke your trust I’m the one still trying to stay And when your mind starts running wild You change, and I can feel it too You may not say a single word But I notice every change in you Every distance, every tone Every time you pull away I may not always say I see it But baby, I notice everything So don’t make me pay Don’t make me pay For a heart I never broke that way Verse 2 I know thoughts can come from nowhere And turn a good day upside down One minute I can feel you with me Then suddenly you’re shutting down And maybe you don’t even notice How different you become But I can hear it in your silence I can feel it when you’re numb And I start pulling back a little Not because I want to leave It just hurts to keep on reaching When it feels like you don’t believe Pre-Chorus I’ve given you my honest heart I’ve shown you who I am If I wanted just to hurt you I would’ve done it when I had the chance Chorus Don’t make me pay for his mistakes Don’t make me carry all that weight I’m not the one who broke your trust I’m the one still trying to stay And when your mind starts running wild You change, and I can feel it too You may not say a single word But I notice every change in you Every distance, every tone Every time you pull away I may not always say I see it But baby, I notice everything So don’t make me pay Don’t make me pay For a heart I never broke that way Bridge Yeah, I’ve seen the old pictures And I know what they can do Make me wonder if a part of you Still misses what you knew But then I remember how he hurt you How he gave you reasons not to trust And I don’t want to be compared to him I just want you to believe in us I don’t need to be him I don’t want his old place I just want the love that’s mine Without paying for his mistakes Final Chorus So don’t make me pay for his mistakes Don’t let the past decide our fate I’m not the one who disappeared I’m the one still here today The rug ain’t getting pulled beneath you I’m not planning my escape I’m still choosing you tomorrow Like I’m choosing you today And if your mind starts telling stories Come to me before you run away Because I notice every little change Even when there’s nothing that I say I know you’ve been hurt before But I’m begging you, have faith I’m not asking you to forget him Just don’t make me pay for his mistakes.
