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.
