Both of Us Were Right

Both of Us Were Right lyrics

Verse 1

I kept your cup
In the same blue stain
Three days passed
I still say your name

You left that note
By the cracked front door
I read it twice
Then read it more

Pre-Chorus

I heard you late
In the next room
Like a truth
That can’t come through

I held my breath
Till it broke apart
And I knew
We both played our part

Chorus

Both of us were right
(we were right)
Both of us were right
(we were right)
We said it soft
We said it all night
Both of us were right

Verse 2

I was the one
Who made small things grow
A look, a pause
A yes, a no

You were the fire
In a quiet frame
You loved too hard
Then blamed the flame

Pre-Chorus

Now every text
Feels like a bruise
A little word
That I can’t lose

I tried to win
But I lost my heart
And I knew
We both played our part

Chorus

Both of us were right
(we were right)
Both of us were right
(we were right)
We said it soft
We said it all night
Both of us were right

Bridge

You were not cruel
You were just tired
I wore my fear
Like it was mine

And if I stayed
Or if you went
It was love
And it was spent

Chorus

Both of us were right
(we were right)
Both of us were right
(we were right)
We said it soft
We said it all night
Both of us were right

Both of us were right
(we were right)
Both of us were right
(we were right)
No one gets clean
When love cuts tight
Both of us were right
(we were right)
Both of us were right
