[Verse 1] If I wasn't lonely in a hotel room, I wouldn't have answered If you weren't drunk on the west coast, you wouldn't have called I've put in a lot of time and cryin' trying to cut out the cancer But hearing your voice, yeah it's like you never killed me at all [Pre-Chorus] Yeah, you say it's just like a movie Do you remember the things you did to me? 'Cause I remember And just for a second those days were better But I know bettеr [Chorus] Why are you so good At making it hurt so bad? Sending me spiraling Right back down a brokеn road Saying things you should've said years ago Making it burn So excuse me if I'm mad Coming in lying, making it sound like the truth Ain't it just like you Putting new salt in an old wound? [Verse 2] Why do pretty words make it so hard to remember you’re selfish? Oh no, yeah You don't really want to have me you just wanna know you could, oh no, yeah [Pre-Chorus] The way that it stings, is so familiar So many things, too familiar Don't want to be stupid, yeah but [Chorus] Why are you so good At making it hurt so bad? Sending me spiraling Right back down a broken road Saying things you should've said years ago Making it burn So excuse me if I'm mad Coming in lying, making it sound like the truth Ain't it just like you Putting new salt in an old wound? [Bridge] Now I'm falling asleep, thinking 'bout you Like I forgot how to dream without you I haven't done that in ages [Chorus] Why are you so good At making it hurt so bad? Sending me spiraling Right back down a broken road Saying things you should've said years ago Making it burn So excuse me if I'm mad Coming in lying, making it sound like the truth Ain't it just like you Putting new salt in an old wound? [Outro] That 2AM call Breaking down my, down my walls That 2AM call New salt
