Jaded - Chase Goehring

Let me take you back a couple years ago

When you first showed up at your boy’s front door

Big brown eyes with the beautiful smile

And the first thing you say is, «Can I stay for a while?»

I’m like, «Okay, sure, but not too long

I don’t want any of us to feel lead on»

Getting in the things we’ve got to get away from

But I got a place to stay so I guess you’ve got one

Time goes on, we became friends

Next thing you know is that I’m calling you my girlfriend

It happened pretty quick and I don’t know how

But now you’re all I think about, wow

People get involved and the tale takes a turn

'Cause everyone is telling me I’m gonna get burnt

By a girl so pure, it couldn’t be true

If only I knew you’d be loving that dude

I’m jaded

Yeah, you broke my heart and my love is going cold

Girl, I’m jaded

Yeah, I got thick skin when you stabbed me through my soul

I opened up for you so that you could get through

But you walked right by when you found another guy

Now, I’m jaded

Now you’ve been my girl for quite some time

Yeah, we’ve been through a lot, I’ve even seen you cry

I always had your back and I thought you had mine

But then I caught you lyin', now I’m the one cryin'

I was on the road doing shows

When I saw the news come through my social media

It’s you holdin' hands with the boy

That you told me I would never have to worry about

Oh, you’re going out?

Well, I’m sorry but I’m not an option

I’m not a second choice and I ain’t up for adoption

You either got me or you don’t

There is no gray, this is a black and white space

Get it?

Got it?

Good

I do not deserve to be treated with this kind of disrespect

I gave you everything you ever wanted

Just so you could turn around and stab me in the back

And run away with them calling them your lover

Yeah, whatever

I’m jaded

Yeah, you broke my heart and my love is going cold

Girl, I’m jaded

Yeah, I got thick skin when you stabbed me through my soul

I opened up for you so that you could get through

But you walked right by when you found another guy

Now, I’m jaded

Dang, looking back, we had it pretty good

Minus all the barriers, I thought that we would

Stay together, maybe be forever

Something like an old school love

Baby, I don’t mind the weather

But I guess you did, guess I’m wrong

Guess you’re the reason that I wrote this song

I’m jaded

Yeah, you broke my heart and my love is going cold

Girl, I’m jaded

Yeah, I got thick skin when you stabbed me through my soul

I opened up for you so that you could get through

But you walked right by when you found another guy

Now, I’m jaded

Girl, I’m jaded
