[Intro]
Verse 1
You’re standin’ in my kitchen at 2 a.m.,
Mascara runnin’, sayin’ “not again.”
You’ve got a master’s degree and a heart that’s gold,
But he’s got you believin’ every lie he’s told.
You say he’s “just complicated,”
That he’s “workin’ through some things” —
Girl, I’ve watched this movie play out
And I know how it ends.
Pre-Chorus
You didn’t come this far
Just to fall for that.
Chorus
You’re too smart to be that stupid,
Too strong to fall that fast.
You know exactly what he’s doin’,
You’ve seen it in the past.
So are you hearin’ what he’s sayin’,
Or what you wish was true?
When the red flags start to wavin’,
Why they look white to you?
Verse 2
He disappears on Fridays,
Comes back Sunday with a rose.
Says he’s “bad at communication,”
But everybody knows.
You analyze his silence
Like it’s some kind of test —
But love shouldn’t feel like
A cross-examined guess.
Pre-Chorus
You ain’t naïve, you ain’t a fool —
You just don’t wanna lose.
Chorus
You’re too smart to be that stupid,
Too wise to play it blind.
You see the cracks in every promise,
Still you redraw the lines.
So are you savin’ who he could be,
Or who he’s shown you now?
At what point does forever
Stop meanin’ somehow?
Bridge
(Lift)
Maybe love makes lawyers
Out of broken hearts.
Maybe hope can twist the truth
And call it “just a start.”
Maybe walkin’ away
Feels harder than the fall —
But strength ain’t stayin’ stuck
When you deserve it all.
Final Chorus (Biggest)
You’re too smart to be that stupid —
And you know it deep inside.
You don’t need another warning sign
Or another alibi.
You don’t need his almost-love
Or half of what you’re worth.
You’re too smart to keep on settlin’
For less than you deserve.(Stripped back)
You’re too smart…
To be that stupid.
So don’t let lonely
Talk you into it.
