Both ways Lyrics by Caroline Manning

2021

[Verse 1]
Apology without change is manipulation
Oh, and loving you always had me hesitating
She played you, then you played me
You said this time don't worry
You made me a fool and I followed the rules
Never good enough for you
[Verse 2]
The way you talk to someone is a reflection
Of how much respect you have for them as a person
On and off, no consistency
Strung me along and my feelings
Like I was nothing
[Chorus]
I fell in love with your potential
Always made you my essential
Why did everyday feel like a chase?
Shouldn't loving someone go both ways?
[Verse 3]
I'vе said it once and I'll say it again 'cause I mean it
I won't bе the girl that you use to get over your feelings
And it's sad that you showed me attention
But somebody questioned
Made me feel like a trophy in all of the worst ways
That ain't affection
No, that ain't affection
[Chorus]
'Cause I fell in love with your potential
Always made you my essential
Why did everyday feel like a chase?
Shouldn't loving someone go both ways?
[Bridge]
And maybe if it's right
And you became the perfect guy
Who knows what to do
Oh, but you're just a child
And I know I deserve someone who
Can appreciate my worth
'Cause I gave you my undivided
You showed me this was single-sided
[Chorus]
'Cause I fell in love with your potential
Always made you my essential
Why did everyday feel like a chase?
Shouldn't loving someone go both ways?
Drainin' all my energy
For someone who never made me a priority
Why did everyday feel like a chase?
Shouldn't loving someone go both ways?
[Outro]
I lowered the bar and baby it wasn't that hard
So, good luck to the next girl's broken heart you cause
Built you boy in my dream, can't believe you'd mislead
A girl who was ready to give you everything
