Joshua Bassett - Crisis (Lyrics)

[Verse 1]

My label said to never waste a crisis

And here I am, guitar in my hand, in the middle of one, hmm

And, honestly, I didn't wanna write this

Don't know if I can, still holdin' back, still wanna run


[Pre-Chorus]

And if you get to tell your truth, then so do I

And it's cool if you want me to play the bad guy


[Chorus]

But don't you dare act like I didn't love you

Don't go thinkin' that I didn't hurt too

Don't you ever wonder if I'm okay after all you put me through?

Half the shit you're sayin' is only half true

You're messin' with my life as a career move

I can't help but wonder why you won't make it end

Guess you would never dare

You would never dare to wastе a crisis


[Verse 2]

My mama called 'cause she hеard I got death threats

Oh, what the hell am I supposed to do with that?

Oh, I wish that I could open my eyes and the nightmare be over

But you sensationalize, keep fannin' the fire for the headlines


[Chorus]

But don't you dare act like I didn't love you

Don't go thinkin' that I didn't hurt too

Don't you ever wonder if I'm okay after all you put me through?

Half the shit you're sayin' is only half true

You're messin' with my life as a career move

I can't help but wonder why you won't make it end

Guess you would never dare

You would never dare to waste a crisis


[Bridge]

Weren't you the one who left in the first place?

Weren't you the one who called things off?

Was it an act to love me or an act to hate me?


[Chorus]

Don't you dare act like I didn't love you

Don't go thinkin' that I didn't hurt too

Don't you ever wonder if I'm okay after all you put me through?

Half the shit you're sayin' is only half true

You're messin' with my life as a career move

I can't help but wonder why you won't make it end

But you would never dare

You would never dare to waste a crisis
