Lyrics
Verse 1
You got a hell of a lot to say, don’t you, babe?
I took the hit, but you made me the damn mistake
Telling everybody I’m the one who lost my mind
Like you don’t leave your own mess out in the daylight
Why the hell you pointing fingers when you
Got a whole damn stack of your own issues hiding right behind you?
Living in that paper castle, all talk, no walls
I thought you knew me, but I guess that was my bad
Pre-Chorus
It was already yours
I couldn’t build this kind of shitshow alone
Don’t play it slick, you lit the match and watched it fucking grow
I kept moving every weekend ’cause you never made room
They say a little help goes far
But I was left on my own, surprise surprise
Chorus
You act so damn clean now, yeah, yeah
After everything you did
I’m not the one who started this, so don’t crown yourself innocent
You can’t scrub away the prints, you fucking can’t
It was already yours, yours
I couldn’t build this kind of wreck alone
Don’t play it slick, you lit the match and watched it grow
I kept moving every weekend ’cause you never made room
They say a little help goes far
But I was left on my own, like usual
Verse 2
You thought I’d wear the blame while the whole thing fell apart
Acting like your hands were spotless, like you never played a part
You ran the scene you set, now it’s circling back around
Guess it’s catching up to you now, huh? How fucking tragic
You sold a lie so sweet, I was too patient
Now the truth looks rough on you, and that seems to piss you off
You can throw your words around, but the mirror tells
All that noise and no truth when your name gets called, what a joke
Chorus
You act so damn clean now, yeah, yeah
After everything you did
I’m not the one who started this, so don’t crown yourself innocent
You can’t scrub away the prints, you fucking can’t
It was already yours, yours
I couldn’t build this kind of wreck alone
Don’t play it slick, you lit the match and watched it grow
I kept moving every weekend ’cause you never made room
They say a little help goes far
But I was left on my own, like usual
Bridge
It takes two to break a heart in two, ooh
Baby, you blame me and baby, I blame you
That’s the fucking truth
No more excuses, no more lies
You had your chance, now watch it die
Final Chorus
It was already yours
I couldn’t build this kind of wreck alone
Don’t play it slick, you lit the match and watched it grow
I kept moving every weekend ’cause you never made room
They say a little help goes far
But I was left on my own
Outro
Nah
It was already yours
