the revisionist

Kelsea Ballerini

Cousin with a skateboard, steep driveway
Said I d dare you, so I did
Now I got two scarred knees and elbows
As long as I live
At the pink house with the wet paint
631 for a wild oak drive
Mama said, don t touch it but I did
Red-handed, my first lie

It s a shame you can t erase a bad decision
I ve been reading into mine since 93
Can I write it if it s wrong once it s written?
Can t edit, just let it be history
Story of my life I think that I m finally getting it
I own it all but I d like to call the revisionist

And Chattanooga young love wasn t ready
But he was, so I did, now I m here
Thinking about how to tell my daughter
Someday about that holiday

And it s a shame you can t erase a bad decision
I ve been reading in the mind since 93
Can I write it if it s wrong once it s written in?
Can t edit, just let it be history
Story of my life I think that I m finally getting it
I own it all but I d like to call the revisionist

To destroy all the evidence
And all my tears on the cutting room floor
Back to those relationships where I ve been a bitch
Prove that I m not like that anymore

It s a shame you can t erase a bad decision
I ve been reading in my mind since 93
Can t write it if it s wrong once it s written
Can t rip out all the pages about you and me
It s all in quotes and that s all she wrote now, isn t it?
I own it all but I d still like to call the revisionist
