dirt & sagebrush Lyrics

I wish I would've acted on my mean intrusive thoughts,

I'd go back to our first date and tell you just to go get lost,

Wish I'd never held your hand, wish you'd never known my heart,

Wish I'd worked harder on him, knew you weren't right from the start

Wish I would've listened when my gut told me to leave,

Wish I would've spoken louder when your words were hurting me

You'd push me away in public, won't kiss me near your friends,

Were you faking it with me, or just faking it with them?

I'm full of questions, I can't sleep tonight,

All your tainted memories are messing up my mind,

All the words you've told me, I wish you'd never said,

Messages I've written, that I'll never send

I kept my mouth shut, so that I wouldn't hurt you, but I don't have to now, hear my words you deserve to

You had diamonds but you traded them for dust, and you had roses but you traded them for sagebrush

I'd tell you to go burn but nothing burns where you are, you won't catch any views 'cause you wont put miles on your car.

You had iron but you traded her for rust,

Yeah you had everything, but you wanted dirt and you wanted sagebrush.

Wish I would've left the first time that we had this fight,

If I'd left you back six months ago, today I'd be alright.

I should've listened to my mom, should've listened to my friends

When you treated me like an option, that should've been the end

I deserve someone who can even act like they want me, who learns from their mistakes and doesn't just stop at I'm sorry,

Someone who buys me flowers, and I won't even have to beg, someone who loves me out in public and never shies away.

I'm out of questions, I'm fast asleep tonight,

I took our memories and turned them into mine,

All the words you told me, are gone now I forget

First I made my closure, and then I forged ahead

I kept my mouth shut, so that I wouldn't hurt you, but I don't have to now, hear my words you deserve to

You had diamonds but you traded them for dust, and you had roses but you traded them for sagebrush

I'd tell you to go burn but nothing burns where you are, you won't catch any views 'cause you wont put miles on your car.

You had iron but you traded her for rust,

Yeah you had everything, but you wanted dirt and you wanted sagebrush.

I can't blame you for having bad taste,

I wonder if you'll ever grow into your age

I kept my mouth shut, so that I wouldn't hurt you, but I don't have to now, hear my words you deserve to

You had diamonds but you traded them for dust, and you had roses but you traded them for sagebrush

I'd tell you to go burn but nothing burns where you are, you won't catch any views 'cause you wont put miles on your car.

You had iron but you traded her for rust,

Yeah you had everything, but you wanted dirt and you wanted sagebrush.
