Was I seeing the best in you Or was I inventing it? 'Cause I wanted the rest of you How I was presenting it Was I seeing the best in us? Or was I expecting it 'Cause I wanted you more than the truth I made a mess of it Making up the version that I like Swear that it made sense up in my mind Ignoring all the signs, let 'em slip by Reality's whatever I want it to be, right? I've never been the best At seeing shit for what it is 'Cause how I wrote it in my head It didn't end up like this Was I seeing the best in you Or was I inventing it? 'Cause I wanted the rest of you How I was presenting it Was I seeing the best in us? Or was I expecting it 'Cause I wanted you more than the truth I made a mess of it Breaking down the reasons for my walls Keeping all the pieces that I want Piece 'em all together so I could The story that I wanna tell myself 'cause I've never been the best At seeing shit for what it is 'Cause how I wrote it in my head It didn't end up like this But then I thought I was perceptive as fuck Like I couldn't taste the lies upon your tongue 'Cause every time you pulled that shit, I didn't want To believe it but I knew just what it was Was I seeing the best in you Or was I inventing it? 'Cause I wanted the rest of you How I was presenting it Was I seeing the best in us? Or was I expecting it 'Cause I wanted you more than the truth I made a mess of it More than the truth I wanted you more than the truth And made a mess of it
