The Revisionist Lyrics – Kelsea Ballerini

The Revisionist Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Cousin with a skateboard, steep driveway
Said, “I 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
6314 Wild Oak Drive
Momma said, “Don’t touch it,” but I did
Red-handed, my first lie

[Chorus]
It’s a shame you can’t erase a bad decision
I’ve been reading into mine since ’93
Can’t outwrite 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

[Verse 2]
In Chattanooga, young love, wasn’t ready
But he was, so I did
Now I’m here thinking ’bout how to tell my daughter
Someday ’bout that Holiday Inn

[Chorus]
It’s a shame you can’t erase a bad decision
I’ve been reading into mine since ’93
Can’t outwrite 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

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
It’s a shame you can’t erase a bad decision
I’ve been reading into mine since ’93
Can’t outwrite it if it’s wrong once it’s written
Can’t rip out all the pages ’bout 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
