Kelsea Ballerini - Unapologetically Album Lyrics

I don't wanna be no skeleton in your closet
Another rose that you throw 'cause you know that it ain't ok
Just a name on a stone in a road on a road forgotten
'Cause I was falling fast now I'm just a dash between two dates

And I don't wanna be another heart in your graveyard
In the cold hard dirt that you throw down
I don't want to watch you drive away in a black car
To a new bar so you can find another

Hopeless broken girl in a little black dress
And you'll take her break her lay her heart to rest
And please lie here next to me

Maybe I was naive to believe you'd never hurt me
But now I know what you hide in your darkest suit and shades
You put on a show so nobody knows your hands and your shoes are dirty
I guess you don't need a shovel to dig a grave

And I don't wanna be another heart in your graveyard
In the cold hard dirt that you throw down
I don't want to watch you drive away in a black car
To a new bar so you can find another

Hopeless broken girl in a little black dress
And you'll take her break her lay her heart to rest
And please lie here next to me yeah

Gonna go out one night when you see me out
'Cause the ghost of a broken heart don't stay six feet down
Yeah you're gonna go out one night when you see me out
'Cause the ghost of a broken heart don't stay six feet down

I don't wanna be another heart in your graveyard
In the cold hard dirt that you throw down
I don't want to watch you drive away in a black car
To a new bar so you can find another

Hopeless broken girl in a little black dress
And you'll take her break her lay her heart to rest
And please lie here next to me yeah

Hopeless broken girl, yeah you'll just
Take her break her heart, let her rest in peace
Right here next to me yeah

I don't want to be another heart
I don't want to be another heart, in your graveyard babe
In your graveyard hey

I retired my red lipstick 'cause you said you didn't like it
I didn't wear my high heel shoes
'Cause I couldn't be taller than you
I didn't wanna lose my friends, but now it's hard to even find them
It's what you wanted, ain't it?
It's what you wanted

I thought I'd miss you (when it ended)
I thought it hurt me (but it didn't)
I thought I'd miss you
I thought I'd miss you

But I miss me more
I miss my own beat, to my own snare drum
I miss me more
Miss my own sheets in the bed I made up
I forgot I had dreams, I forgot I had wings
Forgot who I was before I ever kissed you
Yeah, I thought I'd miss you
But I miss me more (I miss me more)

I put on my old records that I hid in the back of the closet
And I turn them up to ten
And then I played them all again
I found my independence
Can't believe I ever lost it
What you wanted, ain't it?
It's what you wanted

I thought I'd miss you (when it ended)
I thought it hurt me (but it didn't)
I thought I'd miss you
Yeah, I thought I'd miss you

But I miss me more
I miss my own beat, to my own snare drum
(I miss me more)
Miss my own sheets in the bed I made up
I forgot I had dreams, I forgot I had wings
Forgot who I was before I ever kissed you
Yeah, I thought I'd miss you
But I miss me more (I miss me more)

I thought I'd miss you
I thought it hurt me
And I'd wanna kiss you
I thought I'd miss you

But I miss me more
I miss my own beat, to my own snare drum
(I miss me more)
Miss my own sheets in the bed I made up
I forgot I had dreams, I forgot I had wings
Forgot who I was before I ever kissed you
And I thought I'd miss you
But I miss me more
(I miss me more)
(I miss me more)
(I miss me more)

You saw me drive by your place last Friday
But don't make too much of it it's just on my way home
I didn't see the picture that you posted in this bar
And when I pulled into the parking lot I didn't see your car

You can tell your friend it's all on purpose
That I'm the crazy ex that wrecks your life
But there's no intentions underneath the surface
So don't go reading anything between the lines

'Cause I'm over you and everything that we used to do together
My Saturday nights are brighter I've never felt better
I didn't used to be when I heard you were seeing somebody else
Yeah I'm hoping you're thinking that every move that I'm making
Is just a game that I'm playing because my heart is still breaking
Boy I'm over you, I'm over you

So get over yourself
Yeah
So get over yourself

You think all I do is that about us
And that the new boy I show off is only out of spite
Your're so in your head about it you can't get your heart around it
But boy I'm over you, I'm over you

I'm over you and everything that we used to do together
My Saturday nights are brighter I've never felt better
I didn't used to be when I heard you were seeing somebody else
Yeah I'm hoping you're thinking that every move that I'm making
Is just a game that I'm playing because my heart is still breaking
Boy I'm over you, I'm over you

So get over yourself
Guess what else, took down your pictures down over my shelf
And I don't care enough to hate you so I even wish you well boy

So you can tell your friends I do it all on purpose, yeah
That I'm the crazy ex that wrecks your life

But I'm over you and everything that we used to do together
My Saturday nights are brighter I've never felt better
I didn't used to be when I heard you were seeing somebody else
Yeah I'm hoping you're thinking that every move that I'm making
Is just a game that I'm playing because my heart is still breaking
Boy I'm over you, I'm over you

So get over yourself
Yeah
So get over yourself, 'cause I'm over you, so get over yourself

You brought one to my door
Stood there on the front porch
And that was the beginning
We had those tires spinnin' down on the green grass
Outside of town
Wild and free, never slowing down
And I thought I needed you like air

We burned hot, burned out, like a flame
But in my head, you'll never fade

Yeah, we were classic
My dress, your leather jacket
Didn't know how good we had it
But, boy, we had it
14th of February, gotta feeling my heart still carries
Yeah, we didn't know it
Thought we could grow it
Beautiful for a moment
We were roses (yeah)
We were roses (yeah)

You put one in my hair
Danced in the middle of nowhere
You and me all summer
Bright and living color

My lips were red
Your eyes were blue
And I thought I saw forever in you

Yeah, we were classic
My dress, your leather jacket
Didn't know how good we had it
But, boy, we had it
14th of February, gotta feeling my heart still carries
Yeah, we didn't know it
Thought we could grow it
Beautiful for a moment
We were roses (yeah)

But seasons had to change
And like flowers they bloom and withered away

Yeah, we were classic
My dress, your leather jacket
Didn't know how good we had it
It was so good while it lasted

Yeah, we were classic
My dress, your leather jacket
Didn't know how good we had it
But, boy, we had it
14th of February, gotta feeling my heart still carries
Yeah, we didn't know it
Thought we could grow it
Beautiful for a moment
We were roses
We beautiful for a moment baby
We were roses
We beautiful for a moment baby
We didn't know it
Thought we could grow it
Beautiful for a moment
We were roeses

I pushed and pulled it
I let you do it too
Like it was metal
Like it was bulletproof
I forgot to cry when I was sad
I forgot to fight when I was mad
I made the moves that others would approve

But it ain't calculated
It ain't by the rules
And you can hate it baby
But it's gonna do what it's gonna do yeah

I don't have a machine heart
Can't tell it to stop, no burden to push the sky
You'll see it break, you'll see it fall apart
'Cause I don't have, I don't have
A machine heart, no
A machine heart

I kept it quite
But now you'll hear it scream
'Cause good or bad or right or wrong
It's finally found its bait

But it ain't calculated
It ain't by the rules
And you can hate it baby
But it's gonna do what it's gonna do yeah

I don't have a machine heart
Can't tell it to stop, no burden to push the sky
You'll see it break, you'll see it fall apart
'Cause I don't have, I don't have
A machine heart (a machine heart)
A machine heart (a machine heart)
A machine heart (a machine heart)
A machine heart (a machine heart)

I won't always get it right
But hey ain't that just life?
At least you're gettin' something real
I won't always get it right
But hey ain't that just life?
I wanna find, wanna feel

'Cause I don't have a machine heart
Can't tell it to stop, no burden to push the sky
You'll see it break, you'll see it fall apart
'Cause I don't have, no I don't have
A machine heart (a machine heart)
A machine heart (a machine heart)

I pushed and pulled it
I let you do it too
I let you do it too
I pushed and pulled it
I let you do it too
I let you do it too

I don't have a machine heart
No, I don't have a machine heart

In between just a flame and a ring
In between an apartment and a frontporch swing
In between cheap and fancy a guitar and a Grammy
In between reckless and responsibility

Sometimes I'm my mother's daughter, sometimes I'm her friend
Sometimes I play grown up and sometimes I play pretend
Sometimes I'm a princess dressed all curves
And sometimes I just wanna scream "I'm not a little girl!"
Dumb enough to think I know it all
Smart enough to know I don't
Young enough to think I'll live forever
Old enough to know I won't

In between

In between beer and basement
And Napa Valley vacation
In between hometown and a neon city
In between underestimated and overexpectated
Who I was and who I'm gonna be

Sometimes I'm my mother's daughter, sometimes I'm her friend
Sometimes I play grown up and sometimes I play pretend
Sometimes I'm a princess dressed all ribbons and all curves
And sometimes I just wanna scream, "I'm not a little girl"
Dumb enough to think I know it all
Smart enough to know I don't
Young enough to think I'll live forever
Old enough to know I won't

I know I won't

I'm half head up in the clouds, half feet down on the ground
'Cause it ain't that simple
As an adult sittin' on that page when they say, "Act your age"
But you're stuck there in the middle

Sometimes I'm my mother's daughter, sometimes I'm her friend
Sometimes I play grown up and sometimes I play pretend
Sometimes I'm a princess dressed all ribbons and all curves
And sometimes I just wanna scream "I'm not a little girl!"
Dumb enough to think I know it all
Smart enough to know I don't
Young enough to think I'll live forever
Old enough to know I won't

In the in between
Yeah
In the in between

hey sweetpea it's mama
Just wanna let you know that I love you
Thinkin' about you, missin' you while I'm on the road
Can't wait to see you when I get back

He's still driving that 1970 hand-me-down truck
And he's still wearing that red and black jersey
Waiting for the band to start up
He's still showing up twenty late, finding hearts and rules to break
Why would he wanna change when every memory still bows to him?

But this ain't high school
Where all you care about is if the pretty cheerleader thinks you're cool
See her Friday, take her out after the football game
'Cause it's five years later and you can't get off of the elevator
That's going up, 'cause you're growing up
And the world gets cruel when you're still living in high school

He's still calling that first love, first time, pretty-eyed blonde
And she's still letting it ring 'cause his ring isn't what she wants
'Cause she traded in prom queen for a big city dream
And a slate that's clean, but
Your heart just don't get it and that's why you can't forget it
'Cause you're living like you're seventeen

But this ain't high school
Where all you care about is if the pretty cheerleader thinks you're cool
See her Friday, take her out after the football game
'Cause it's five years later and you can't get off of the elevator
That's going up, 'cause you're growing up and the world gets cruel when

You're still living in the hallways
Where everybody stopped and stared
And cared and knew your name
'Cause this is the real world that don't know you like that
You can remember but you can't go back

To high school
Where all you care about is if the pretty cheerleader thinks you're cool
See her Friday when you take her out after the football game
'Cause it's five years later and you can't get off of the elevator
That's going up, 'cause you're growing up
And the world gets cruel when you're still living in high school

When you're still living in it
Five years later
Oh yeah, oh yeah
He's still calling that first love, first time
And he hates he said goodbye, she went on with her life
He's still driving the same old back roads
Wondering when he got so old
Where did his life go?
Oh, but he knows
Oh, he knows
Yeah, he knows
That this ain't high school, oh, woah
And he's still driving that 1970 hand-me-down truck
And he's stuck in high school
But this ain't high school

The darkest midnight I'm lost in it
Insecure and just done with it
Love gave up so start believin'
I don't know how to get through feelings

I thought it was the end of the world
But it kept spinning round round round
And then the sun came up again
And I stopped lookin' down down down
I thought the stars in the sky
And in my eyes have lost their shine
But just like a lifeline right on time
I met you at the end of the world

The sky kept fallin', but we danced in it
I was done with love, but second chance in it
You cleared the smoke and picked up the wreckage
Gotta go through hell to get to heaven

I thought it was the end of the world, but
It kept spinning round round round
And then the sun came up again
And I stopped lookin' down down down
I thought the stars in the sky and in my eyes
Have lost their shine
But just like a lifeline right on time
I met you at the end of the world, the world, the world

I thought the cold would last forever
I didn't know that there was something better
Waitin' at the end of the world, the world, the world yeah

I thought it was the end of the world
But It kept spinning round round round
And then the sun came up again
And I stopped lookin' down down down
I thought the stars in the sky
And in my eyes have lost their shine
But just like a lifeline right on time
I met you at the end of the world, the world, the world yeah

I thought it was the end of the world
I thought it was
The darkest midnight I'm lost in it
The sky kept fallin', but we danced in it

I hate Shakespeare and Gosling and cakes with white frosting
Two names in a heart-shaped tattoo
I think cupid is stupid and violets are purple not blue
I hate catching bouquets, the honeymoon phase
And letterman jackets don't fit
Your eyes can't hold stars and you'd die if your heart really skipped

I hate love songs (I hate love songs)
Yeah, I really do (I really do)
I hate love songs (I hate love songs)
But I love you

I hate pink hearts with glitter and Valentine's dinner
And roses just die in a week
We were drunk when we met so we don't know our anniversary, woops
Oh and I'm far too vain to kiss in the rain
The clouds, they aren't numbered to nine
And you make me feel something but it sure as hell ain't butterflies

I hate love songs (I hate love songs)
Yeah, I really do (I really do)
I hate love songs (I hate love songs)
But I love you, ooh yeah

Oh oh
I really do

And I'll always love you but I don't have to sing it
"For worse or for better" don't rhyme
They say I got the right one so now I should write one
But I'd rather just show you tonight

'Cause I hate love songs (I hate love songs)
Yeah, I really do (I really do)
I hate love songs (I hate love songs)
But I love you, yeah

I hate love songs (I hate love songs)
The old and the new (I really do)
I hate love songs
But I love you

They're gonna say I fell too fast
They're gonna say it's never gonna last
And before it's too late I should just back away
Yeah, they're gonna say that
He ain't the kind to hold my hand
He ain't gonna try to understand
Nothing under the surface
He's just looking for a pretty face

But they got it all wrong
And I got it all right
They say they just don't see it
But I saw it at first sight

And I'm unapologetically in love
And I'm so unapologetically in love
No matter where it takes me
Even if it breaks me
I'm unapologetically all in
From the second that I started falling
And it don't even phase me
When they call me crazy
I'm unapologetically in love
I'm unapologetically in love

So I could care less if I'm being careless
Might wreck me to be reckless
But I'd rather fall apart than
Love half-hearted
Yeah, maybe it's true that you know when you know
And then again maybe you don't
But when you find a diamond
You can't keep it from shining

And I'm unapologetically in love
And I'm so unapologetically in love
No matter where it takes me
Even if it breaks me
I'm unapologetically all in
From the second that I started falling
And it don't even phase me
When they call me crazy
I'm unapologetically in love
I'm unapologetically in love

The life of my party
He keeps my eyes starry so
I'm so sorry for not being sorry

I'm unapologetically in love
I'm unapologetically in love

I'm unapologetically in love
And I'm so unapologetically in love
No matter where it takes me
Even if it breaks me
I'm unapologetically all in
From the second that I started falling
And it don't even phase me
When they call me crazy
I'm unapologetically in love
I'm unapologetically in love

And they're gonna say I fell too fast
Yeah, they're gonna say it's never gonna last
Unapologetically

It aLL starts when it's me and you , goin' out on Friday night
Feels like the radio your tires rolling into my drive
Then my heart stops when like a beat drop
It's a symphony when you sweetalk
Make this quiet town feel like electric loud
When the love is goin' down every word out of your mouth

Is like music
Like a seventies soundtrack when you look at me like that
I lose it
My name on your lips wanna replay your kiss
When I wake and lay down and stay up and make out
I'm not sayin' nothin'
But it's feelin' something like music

Before I knew your love even with the volume up it was silence and
And now you're walkin' in the room all counter smooth like a violin, ha
Everybody else is wide noise
So talk to me
'Cause your voice

Is like music
Like a seventies soundtrack when you look at me like that
I lose it
My name on your lips wanna replay your kiss
When I wake and lay down and stay up and make out
I'm not sayin' nothin'
But it's feelin' something like music

Your song on my skin is like (ha ha ha ha)
So play it again just like (ha ha ha ha)
Your song on my skin is like (ha ha ha ha)
So play it again my whole heart's listenin'

To your music
Like a seventies soundtrack when you look at me like that
I lose it
My name on your lips wanna ? your kiss
When I wake and lay down and stay up and make out
I'm not sayin' nothin'
But it's feelin' something like music

We were golden, we were fire, we were magic
Yeah, and they all knew our names all over town
We had it made in the middle of the madness
We were neon in a grey crowd
Yeah, we wrote our own story
Full of blood sweat and heartbeats
We didn't do it for the fame or the glory
But we went down in history

Yeah, we were legends
Loving you, baby, it was heaven
What everyone wondered, we'd never question
Closed our eyes and took on the world together
Do you remember?
We were crazy
Tragic and epic and so amazing
I'll always wear the crown that you gave me
We will always stay lost in forever
And they'll remember
We were legends

Like we were written down in permanent marker
Not even the brightest sun could ever fade
Come whichever hell or high water
It was always me and you either way
Hey, we wrote our own story
Full of blood sweat and heartbeats
We didn't do it for the fame or the glory
We just did it for you and me

And that's why we were legends
Loving you, baby, it was heaven
What everyone wondered, we'd never question
Closed our eyes and took on the world together
Do you remember?
We were crazy
Tragic and epic and so amazing
I'll always wear the crown that you gave me
We will always stay lost in forever
And they'll remember
We were legends

We were legends
Loving you, baby, it was heaven
What everyone wondered, we'd never question
Closed our eyes and took on the world together
Do you remember, baby?
We were crazy
Tragic and epic and so amazing
I'll always wear the crown that you gave me
We will always stay lost in forever
And they'll remember
We were legends (oh yeah, we were)
(Yeah, we were)
Yeah, we were legends
Yeah, we wrote our own story
