Read tHe Room

Written by Marielle Kraft, Nell Maynard, and Autumn Marie Buysse

[Verse 1]
She went to NYU
So what’s that Tar Heels mug
Only drinks Moscow mules
So then who left that rum
She got a wrist tattoo
Won’t tell me where it’s from
I don’t want it to, but it’s all adding up
Gotta stop myself before I fall in love

[Chorus 1]
Read the room
See the memories, she’s not ready for
Someone new
Every wall
Floor to ceiling, filled with feeling she’s still
Holding on to
I’m hearing what she’s saying
But I’m looking at the truth
I could try to be the one but what’s the use
Read the room
Read the room

[Verse 2]
She says I’m not her ex
Then calls me by her name
Photo from Budapest
Still hanging in its frame
And when I’m in her bed
I see it on her face
She’s somewhere else
So I remind myself
Damn I gotta

[Chorus 2]
Read the room
See the memories, she’s not ready for
Someone new
Every wall
Floor to ceiling, filled with feeling she’s still
Holding on to
I’m hearing what she’s saying
But I’m looking at the truth
I could try to be the one but what’s the use
Read the room
Read the room

[Bridge]
The walls are screaming
Screaming what I need to know
And I can’t love her
Love her into letting go
Read the room
Read the room

[Chorus 3]
Read the room
See the memories, she’s not ready for
Someone new
Every wall
Floor to ceiling, filled with feeling she’s still
Holding on to
I’m hearing what she’s saying
But I’m looking at the truth
I could try to be the one but what’s the use
Read the room
Read the room
