Mortar & Pestle Lyrics by Raquel Lily

2016

[Verse 1]
Well, it's been a while since we last spoke
And you tell me that you're different from the other bloke
That you were before the jealousy;
The dust is gone and you can see
That I'm doing swell, oh yeah
Well, the bruises, you say, “Still black and blue”
You never really got to know the real you —
Feel like you “haven’t won.”
But listen, darlin', I was never the one
[Chorus]
You said I crushed you like a mortar & pestlе
I didn't mean to, but I had to let go of you
In all honesty, I wasn't for you, and you wеren't for me
[Verse 2]
Once I was gone, I carried on
It didn't seem like you moved on from me
And you pretended that it's nothing but a chip on your shoulder
But you aren't doing well, oh no
Well, the bruises, I see, still black and blue
You never really got to find the real you–
Feel like you haven’t won
But listen, darlin’, I was never the one
[Chorus]
You said I crushed you like a mortar & pestle
I didn't mean to, but I had to let go of you
In all honesty, I wasn't for you, and you weren't for me
[Bridge]
I won't pretend that we spoke the words that we never said
I'm sailing on, but to you, I'm still swimming in your head
[Chorus]
You said I crushed you like a mortar & pestle
I didn't mean to, but I had to let go of you
In all honesty, I wasn't for you, and you weren't for me
