Lyrics
Verse
This wasn’t love, nah, this was a setup (Plotted!)
Cupid wasn’t a matchmaker, he had the Beretta (Boom!)
Shot through my chest, left my soul in the gutter
Took what was left, turned it to nothin’ but clutter
You dragged it home, set it to flames
Left my heart in the wreckage, slashed through my name (Cold!)
(COLD!)
You whispered sweet lies, a twenty-somethin’s dream
Had me picturing rings, had me planning the scene (Damn!)
Fed me hope like a mother bird feeding the weak
But turns out, love ain’t what you wanted to keep (Facts!)
Now I'm choking on the feathers of the life you denied
Guess forever was just a word that you weaponized
(W-W-W-Weaponized)
Chorus
Tell me you miss me (please tell me!), but that cuts me every time (Slice!)
Say you were a smokescreen (SAY IT!), I should’ve seen the signs (Shoulda known!)
Now I’m still standing here (Unfortunately), painted in red
But I bite my tongue, yeah, I hold it instead (Hold it in!)
(Shoulda known!)
Verse
I know I treated you like a queen, top-tier
Gave you the crown, gave you the kingdom, my dear (Royal!)
This wasn’t love, nah, this was a crime (Case closed!)
Cupid wasn’t an angel, he pulled off the heist (He did!)
So now you rest easy, your mind is at peace
Guess that just means you never cared about me (Damn!)
(you never cared about me)
I ain’t what you deserve, nah, I’m somethin' divine
Love is work, but for you it’s just rhymes (Talk is cheap!)
Throw it in speeches, in songs, in the wind
But you’ll never play me like that again (Never!)
(N-N-Never)
Chorus
Tell me you miss me (please tell me!), but that cuts me every time (Slice!)
Say you were a smokescreen (SAY IT!), I should’ve seen the signs (Shoulda known!)
Now I’m still standing here (Unfortunately), painted in red
But I bite my tongue, yeah, I hold it instead
(Shoulda known!)
(Shoulda known!)
Outro
Cupid ain't no lover, he’s just a thief (Took it all!)
Left me in red, but I still believe (Still believe!)
