John Michael Howell
Mansion
[Verse 1]
You told me last summer that you'd always be my lover
Now you're loving someone other than me
And if you ever wonder how I'm doing, I've recovered
I'm just glad you finally found who you need

[Chorus]
I hope he puts you in a mansion
I hope he takes you dancing
I hope he's hopelessly romantic
Don't take you for granted
I hope that he can love you better than me
'Cause I can't put up with the antics
You're too emotionally damaged
You always left me empty-handed
I'm just being candid
I hope that he can love you better than I can
'Cause I can't

[Post-Chorus]
(Better
Better than I can
Better
Hope he loves you better than I can
'Cause I can't)
[Verse 2]
Hearts are always bluer on the other side
Thought I blew her mind
Nevermind, she was never really mine, yeah
Hard to find the truth in between the lies
Hard to see the silver in between the lines
She crossed the line so many times
From civil talks to petty fights
From long distance to long flights
She left, now we never write, used to talk, now we barely type
Used to say I'm her only type but her only time is hype
She climbs the highest hype
She plays the biggest guys
She ain't discreet
She peeks out both her eyes
To think she thinks I didn't see it really blows my mind
You can't disguise that guise with makeup
When it's in your eyes

[Chorus]
I hope he puts you in a mansion
I hope he takes you dancing
I hope he's hopelessly romantic
Don't take you for granted
I hope that he can love you better than me
'Cause I can't put up with the antics
You're too emotionally damaged
You always left me empty-handed
I'm just being candid
I hope that he can love you better than I can
'Cause I can't
[Post-Chorus]
(Better
Better than I can
Better
Hope he loves you better than I can
'Cause I can't)
