[Verse 1]
And in the night
It was a drunken stutter
Started as a next to nothing conversation
Then he’s tearing me out
Taking me apart at my friend’s house
I was uncomfortable
I was hurt
Still with blue innocence in his eyes
I felt my reasoning was harsh
With every stab wound and exhale
I promised myself that I would never lose my youthful fears of grown up men
I’m scarred with cruel intentions
I thought of another the whole time

[Chorus]
Romance is dead and done
And it hits between the eyes on this side
The grass is dead and barren
And it hurts between my thighs on this side

[Verse 2]
I could begin to open up and risk desire
For I move slower and
Quieter than most
I grew up too quick and I still forgive too slow
Oh I wish there was another way
[Chorus]
Romance is dead and done
And it hits between the eyes on this side
The grass is dead and barren
And it hurts between my thighs on this side

[Verse 3]
See me here
Meet me here
I don’t care
If it’s not repeated
I want to know who you are
For every second we outrun the moon and dread the sun come up
I want to know who you are
So I don’t have to check my stuff's still here when you’re gone

[Chorus]
Romance is dead and done
And it hits between the eyes on this side
The grass is dead and barren
And it hurts between my thighs on this side

[Outro]
This side
This side
