Lyrics
Verse 1
He said, “You’re different”—yeah, that’s what they all say,
‘Til I smile and they’re lost, hearts led astray.
Didn’t mean to flirt, didn’t plan to crash,
But babe, I cause distress just by walking past.
Tangled in my chaos, they call it fate,
I just call it Tuesday, sorry I’m late.
Pre-Chorus
It ain’t my fault if your heart went boom—
I’m just dancing wild through this crowded room.
Chorus
I leave distress within my path,
Torn-up texts and aftermath.
Boys fall hard like it’s a curse,
Write me poems that make it worse.
I didn’t promise, didn’t ask—
Still they wear my name like a broken mask.
Oops—I guess I’m good at that…
Just causing distress within my path.
Verse 2
He thought I’d be his fairytale spark,
Now he’s blasting sad songs in the dark.
Didn’t ghost him—just never stayed,
He built a castle—I just played.
It’s not heartbreak, it’s just misread signs,
Don’t blame me ‘cause you crossed the lines.
Pre-Chorus
I didn’t lead, I just exist—
If that’s a crime, add it to the list.
Chorus
I leave distress within my path,
Twisted smiles and aftermath.
They say “She’s trouble,” say “She’s fire,”
But still they chase what they admire.
I didn’t promise, didn’t ask—
Still they wear my name like a broken mask.
Oops—I guess I’m good at that…
Just causing distress within my path.
Verse 3
Look, I’ve got dreams, not time for tears,
I’m not your muse, not your souvenir.
I’ll wear my boots, you keep your pride,
I break hearts, babe—it’s how I ride.
Not evil, not cruel, just real and free,
Sorry, sweetheart, that scares you, not me.
Bridge
So if you fall—don’t call me fate,
You loved a storm, and sealed your fate.
Final Chorus
I leave distress within my path,
Heart-shaped wrecks and aftermath.
I don’t do sorry, I don’t do tame—
If that breaks you, don’t say my name.
I didn’t promise, didn’t ask—
Still they wear my name like a broken mask.
Oops—I guess I’m good at that…
Just causing distress within my path.
Final Yell – intense, defiant, yelled over the music break:
You fell in love with the chaos—now drown in the flame!
I’m the mess you wanted—remember my name!
Outro – echoey, fading, playful, just a little smug:
Oh yeah…
Ohhh yeah…
Mmm, that’s what I thought…
(breath)
Oh… yeah.
