you claim to be a lover, not a fighter
guess that makes me no better than you
you’ve got me pinned down as a liar
like you have the guts to spill the truth
you’re taking all cues to start a fire
cause you know i’ve got so much to lose
just for me to be thrown into a spiral
stuck like the gum beneath your shoes
got a prior engagement
with my self hatred
bound to be married
to my insecurities
you put me down like a dog at the pound
me & you both wish i was never around
just let me go ahead & let you down
you’re probably used to it by now
you treat me no better
than i do myself
yet i’m more bitter
just knowing it was you
you claim to be calm and not a cutthroat
guess that makes me no better than you
planned to take my role as scapegoat
the entire scenario gives me deja vu
i am “a disappointment”, end of quote
living my life without an escape route
can barely look at what you wrote
cause i’m listed as the biggest issue
got a prior engagement
with my self hatred
bound to be married
to my insecurities
you put me down like a dog at the pound
me & you both wish i was never around
just let me go ahead & let you down
you’re probably used to it by now
you treat me no better
than i do myself
yet i’m more bitter
just knowing it was you
