Gracie Abrams Tough Love
I took a train to Boston and I wanted to cry He's gone, I'm twenty-four and it's a Saturday night I ran and took his jacket with the rip in the side I hate when we fight, sucks when we fight But, honestly, whatever, he's just one of the boys I'll date for like a summer and I'll leave when I'm bored This train is full of strangers but I might like him more Said I might like him more, yeah, no, I like him more And that's just tough love But I mean it, really mean it I'm not charmed so I'm leavin' I laughed the second he tried to call my bluff I guess it's always funny until it's not When I left him there to feel it Couldn't guess when I'd be leavin' For no chance I waste my twenties on random men Not one of them is cooler than all my friends And I hate to leave him bleedin' But I know, know what I'm leavin' for We're walkin' by the river and I stop by the boats At night it's kind of tempting just to see if you float The benches by the Charles gave me somewhere to go I feel like I'm home, there's a bar down the road I'm wasted with the sister of a boy that I met Through someone back in college, she's a weird intellect She liked to tell the truth and she was harsh but direct Her boyfriends all left, she had that effect But that's just tough love And you're lucky to receive it, right? He'll crumble to pieces I laughed the second he tried to call my bluff I guess it's always funny until it's not When I left him there in pieces Couldn't guess when I'd be leavin' For no chance I waste my twenties on random men Not one of them is smarter than all my friends And I hate to leave him bleedin' But I know, know what I'm leavin' for Ooh Oh, I know, know what I'm leavin' for Mm Oh, I know, know what I'm leavin' No, I'm not gonna miss the way he'd kick me in my bed while sleepin' And I'm not gonna miss his shitty friends and nights of their binge drinking And I'm not gonna miss his old inflated ego, shallow thinking And I'm not gonna miss denying that I got my own damn reasons I laughed the second he tried to call my bluff I guess it's always funny until it's not When I left him there to feel it Couldn't guess when I'd be leavin' For no chance I waste my twenties on random men Not one of them is tougher than all my friends And I hate to leave him bleedin' But I know, know what I'm leavin' for
