[Verse 1]
Recall all the fights we had
I thought that it would make us stronger (Uh)
It's my fault, only thing that we said (Uh)
Tryna stay above the water (Uh)
We got problems I wanna solve (Yeah)
But you don't wanna get involved (Uh)
And it seems we're better off (Uh)
If we break free, maybe

[Pre-Chorus]
It was worse than I thought it was
'Cause I didn't want it to be true

[Chorus]
Were we dead on arrival?
Vitals flatlined for a while
I'm still in denial, denial
You wanted an idol
I wanted to walk you down the aisle
Thought we were alive, oh
Were we dead on arrival?

[Verse 2]
Send a text with my eyes closed
'Cause I don't wanna see the answer
All in on you, I was so blind
I was a fool (I was a fool)
You made a home out of my home (Uh)
But took everything I gave you
If I only knew all of the time I was to lose
[Pre-Chorus]
It was worse than I thought it was
'Cause I didn't want it to be true

[Chorus]
Were we dead on arrival?
Vitals flatlined for a while
I'm still in denial, denial
You wanted an idol
I wanted to walk you down the aisle
Thought we were alive, oh
Were we dead on arrival?

[Post-Chorus]
Uh, 'rival
Uh, 'rival, 'rival
'Rival, 'rival
'Rival, oh-oh-oh
Were we dead on arrival?
