In Your Own Words Lyrics by James DH

The Fall

2021

[Verse]
You’re tired of being sorry
But you know it was your fault
I am doing good alone
You didn’t need to write a song
You say my songs are 'bout about you
Guess you didn’t read the tunes
All my exes did me wrong
You’re just a scratch unto the wound
I’d been through so much shit
Before our second time
Not everything's about you
You didn’t cause this pain of mine
[Chorus]
You wanted to heal me
In your own words, that’s why you loved me
You didn’t ever wanna hang out
Or spend your time with me
I was your little experiment
Don’t know why you thought that you were perfect
I could go on and on
But I know you’re insignificant
You hatеd anniversaries
You hated holding hands
Only thing you еver wanted
Was to say I was your man
You told our friends it was my fault
I never saw them again
I would give you the bird
But I know that you never cared
[Bridge]
I know about the guy
You left me for a year ago
You ditched me on our hoco date
But went with someone else
[Verse]
Well
Didn’t think I’d find the time
To write this song about you
On a list of people that did me wrong
You’re like 22
Believe me. There’s worse
I could go on and on
But you were no phenomenon
To the pain that I was holdin’ on, nah
I wrote a song about
How you were way too perfect
But I was fifteen
Didn’t know you’d treat me like shit
I do not wanna hear
All your possible excuses
You think the length’s how much I care
Guess we’ll head to the chorus I guess
I do not know what else to say
But you sorta broke me
The last straw to the hay bale
But this burden was already heavy
DAMN!
[Chorus]
You wanted to heal me
In your own words, that’s why you loved me
You didn’t ever wanna hang out
Or spend your time with me
I was your little experiment
Don’t know why you thought that you were perfect
I could go on and on
But I know you’re insignificant
You hated anniversaries
You hated holding hands
Only thing you ever wanted
Was to say I was your man
You told our friends it was my fault
I never saw them again
I would give you the bird
But I know that you never cared
[Bridge]
I gave you all my time
But I guess I had zero luck
You think my songs are about you
I don’t think about you much
You know that I could show you up
And flex all of my fans
I would give the bird too
But I’ll be the bigger man. Nah
