Wise

he was looking for a good time
a comparison, no long haul
and you walk away empty-handed
if searching for nothing at all

I should've known by the context
that what you said was true
putting thoughts in my head
thinking I wanted nothing too

you get what you deserve
no promises and no lies
not a complicated situation
I should have been more wise

baby, don't worry about me
I'll work it out in my head
since you were looking for nothing
that's exactly what you get
