~Lyrics~

[Intro]
I’m stuck with the aftertaste
Of your dumb mistakes
Not fair that your selfish acts
Are keepin’ me awake

I’m stuck in the aftermath
Your destructive path
Hope now that your heart still aches
Bittersweet mistakes, sitting with your aftertaste

[Verse 1]
Left me stranded on the wayside
Kicked me down to the curbside
All your belongings on my bedside
It’s just a matter a time

Before I kick back
Set it all ablaze
Just watch
You'll regret the day

I’m not taking chances anymore
Take your shit and leave
Oh, there’s the door

[Pre-chorus 1]
Said I’m just your last resort
Giving them a wrong impression
Knowing that you’d come up short
Leaving me with myself to question

[Chorus 1]
I’m stuck with the aftertaste
Of your dumb mistakes
Not fair that your selfish acts
Are keepin’ me awake

I’m stuck in the aftermath
Your destructive path
Hope now that your heart still aches
Bittersweet mistakes, sitting with your aftertaste

[Verse 2]
Spit it out
Tell me what you want
I can’t read your mind
I’m not a god

Too many second chances
Aren’t deserving for everyone
Given all the circumstances
You better turn and run, turn and run!

[Pre-chorus 2]
Said I’m just your last resort
Giving them a wrong impression
Knowing that you’d come up short
Leaving me with myself to question

[Chorus 2]
I’m stuck with the aftertaste
Of your dumb mistakes
Not fair that your selfish acts
Are keepin’ me awake

I’m stuck in the aftermath
Your destructive path
Hope now that your heart still aches
Bittersweet mistakes, sitting with your aftertaste

[Bridge]
Oh babe, I know
I know you’re all alone
Showed me who you
Truly are

[Chorus 3]
I’m stuck with the aftertaste
Of your dumb mistakes
Not fair that your selfish acts
Are keepin’ me awake

I’m stuck in the aftermath
Your destructive path
Hope now that your heart still aches
Bittersweet mistakes, sitting with your aftertaste

[Outro]
I’m stuck with the aftertaste
Of your dumb mistakes
Hope now that your heart still aches
Bittersweet mistakes, sitting with your aftertaste
