Song crisis joshua bassett lyrics english

[Verse 1]


My label said to never waste a crisis


And here I am, guitar in my hand, in the middle of one, hmm


And, honestly, I didn’t wanna write this


Don’t know if I can, still holdin’ back, still wanna run

[Pre-Chorus]


And if you get to tell your truth, then so do I


And it’s cool if you want me to play the bad guy

[Chorus]


But don’t you dare act like I didn’t love you


Don’t go thinkin’ that I didn’t hurt, too


Don’t you ever wonder if I’m okay after all you put me through?


Half the shit you’re saying’s only half-true

Messin’ with my life as a career move


I can’t help but wonder why you won’t make it end


Guess you would never dare


You would never dare to waste a crisis

[Verse 2]


My mama callеd ’cause she heard I got dеath threats


Oh, what the hell am I supposed to do with that?


Oh, I wish that I could open my eyes and the nightmare’d be over


But you sensationalize, keep fannin’ the fire for the headlines

[Chorus]


But don’t you dare act like I didn’t love you


Don’t go thinkin’ that I didn’t hurt, too


Don’t you ever wonder if I’m okay after all you put me through?


Half the shit you’re saying’s only half-true

Messin’ with my life as a career move


I can’t help but wonder why you won’t make it end


Guess you would never dare


You would never dare to waste a crisis

[Bridge]


Weren’t you the one who left in the first place?


Weren’t you the one who called things off?


Was it an act to love me or an act to hate me?

[Chorus]


Don’t you dare act like I didn’t love you


Don’t go thinkin’ that I didn’t hurt, too


Don’t you ever wonder if I’m okay after all you’ve put me through?

Half the shit you’re saying’s only half-true


Messin’ with my life as a career move


I can’t help but wonder why you won’t make it end


But you would never dare


You would never dare to waste a crisis
