lyrics

It started with a text
Hey girl we’re going out
He left 2 months ago, now get yourself up off the couch
We spent a couple dollars, got a couple looks
At that bar with some guys that we had on the hook

It was just a kiss, I started freaking out
I tried to hold it together, but I didn’t know how
I had to leave the club, I had to call a cab
I stumbled in the door and now I’m fucking mad
Cause after all of that

I'm taking off these
6 inch heels that you used to like
Taking off that skimpy black dress
little too short, too tight
Take off that smeared lipstick
From that guy I made out with tonight
Ya, I wish this waterproof mascara came right off
Ya, why’s it gotta be so hard to take the night off

I tried replacing you
Now I’m alone in my bed
Tequila two for one spinning the room and my head
Why’d my phone light up
Why’d you have to check-in
To that bar nearby when I was leaning into him

I tried to drown those thoughts of missing you
With a guy who’s name I didn’t listen to
Drunk crying in the stall
I didn't make last call
Now I’m kicking a hole in this bedroom wall

With these
6 inch heels that you used to like
Taking off that skimpy black dress
little too short, too tight
Take off that smeared lipstick
From that guy I made out with tonight
Ya, I wish this waterproof mascara came right off
Ya, why’s it gotta be so hard to take the night off

I was only asking for one night
One night not thinking about you
I’ve tried sober, and I’ve tried drunk
But I’m still coming unglued
Get out of my head, out of my heart
Why’s it gotta be so hard

To take off these
6 inch heels that you used to like
Taking off that skimpy black dress
little too short, too tight
Take off that smeared lipstick
From that guy I made out with tonight
Ya, I..

Take off these
6 inch heels that you used to like
Taking off that skimpy black dress
little too short, too tight
Take off that smeared lipstick
From that guy I made out with tonight
Ya, I wish this waterproof mascara came right off
Ya, why’s it gotta be so hard to take the night off
To take the night off
To take the night off
