Lubbock lyrics

[Verse]
You know better than I do that I couldn't fix you
I swore in the moment you gave me a preview
Of what it would be like if I’d signed off my whole life
To doing your dishes and choosing my fights

[PreChorus]
I've always been one to like strategy
But you still can't play fair when everyone’s on your team

[Chorus]
I'm filling positions that never existed
A silent protector who waited and listened
A mother, a wife, going broke for the distance
How could you do this to me?
You knew and you let me believe
That you would be kinder to me than you were

[Verse]
Beat me to all of the punches, you told me you loved me
I cried on the highway, didn't that count for something?
Waste away in an airport just to clean your apartment
It's only seamless to love you when you're looking away

[PreChorus]
I'll take the bruises that lie under my skin
You'll only leave marks when you know you can win
[Chorus]
I'm filling positions that never existed
A silent protector who waited and listened
A mother, a wife, going broke for the distance
How could you do this to me?
You knew and you let me believe
That you would be kinder to me than you were

[Bridge]
And I’m hurting, ‘cause I heard we’re both in Lubbock
In our own ways, I bet you love it
So you'll go for someone worth f*cking
What a shame, ‘cause I know you’ll leave him
And you'll smile like when you hung up that evening
It was us, until it wasn't
Now I live in someone else's apartment

[Outro]
And I love it
And I love it
