Riptide
/Is this my fault
Did I do this to you
Should I have known better
Am I to blame
Made you lose sight
Pulled you in like a riptide
Who was I then
Just a girl looking for a friend
You don't wanna know who I was
How far I had gone
How desperate I was
Should've said no
Not let myself go
But because
Because of the laughs
The late nights we can't take back
Why is it I couldn't calm the seas
Trade it in for a lake without tides
Friends forced to take sides
All because of you and I
Is this my fault
Did I do this to you
Led you astray
Should I have known better
Am I to blame
For pulling you away
Made you lose sight
Pulled you in like a riptide
Am I not good enough
Does my personality just not make the cut
Am I too far gone
Too much of a flirt
Wouldn't belong in your church
Scarlet letter
I should've known better
But because
Because of the attention
All the nights of returned flirtation
Why couldn't I calm the waters
Stop the spiral from going down
Am I the reason they made you leave town
All because of you and I
Is this my fault
Did I do this to you
Led you astray
Should I have known better
Am I to blame
For pulling you away
Made you lose sight
Pulled you in like a riptide
It took me three long months
To break the spell you had on me
Finally lay it down to rest
I promised this wasn't the end
He'd always be my friend
Broken heart
Lied about his part
But because
Because of my nature
I'm giving you a second chance
Was I ever in the wrong
Did I really cause this
So blind that I did miss
All along you knew the rules
Whatever the cause
Whatever the price
In a year
We'll see if it really was my riptide
