The Beginning Her Perspective
[Verse 1]
We’re going out on our first date
This is my golden ticket
I hope he likes the dress my mom made
The devil here, safe in my head
Knows if he leaves I’ll kill him dead
I cannot let this boy escape
This town fills me with dread
I’ll never be good
What I’ve done makes that clear
If he’s had enough I’ll blame the voices in my ear
I’ll listen to the devil on my shoulder
I can’t escape if he won’t take me
From this town where life is colder

[Chorus 1]
Can you be my way out?
Can you be my way out?
Can you be my way out?
Can you be my way out?
Can you be my way out?
Can you be my way out?
Can you be my way out?
Can you be my way out?
[Bridge 1]
Let me learn to love you
I promise I’ll be grateful
Let me learn to love you
I’ll try not to be hateful
I fucked it up this time
Now I’m stuck in the town where no one lives

[Verse 2]
We’re going out kicking and screaming
This decade pushed him too far
He gave up, and now he’s leaving
I never thought I could push him away
I thought we were invincible
But I destroyed the love he claimed
I’m tethered to you, you can’t see my face
I’m broken in two from this hell that I have made
I’m angry at the devil on my shoulder
It steered me wrong, now I’m alone and
You’re happy with a new lover

[Chorus 2]
You were my way out
You were my way out
You were my way out
You were my way out
You were my way out
You were my way out
You were my way out
You were my way out
[Bridge 2]
Let me learn to love you
I promise I’ll be grateful
Let me learn to love you
I’ll try not to be hateful
Let me learn to love you
I promise I’ll be grateful
Let me learn to love you
I’ll try not to be hateful
I fucked it up this time
Now I’m stuck in the town where no one lives
