[Verse 1] I saw the flicker in your eyes again Right before I lit the flame again Said I wouldn’t, then I did it just to see If you'd unravel just for me I pulled the string, I said the line I watched you try to read my mind You said you’re tired—I said, “Then sleep” But whispered lies so you’d dig deep [Pre-Chorus] You say I twist the knife too slow But darling, I just need to know... [Chorus] Why you mad? You knew I bite before I bleed You knew my heart was wired to need A little chaos, just to feel So if I cracked you—was it real? Why you mad? You passed the test, but now you're tired You lit the match, admired the fire I gave you me, in smoke and shards So tell me, love—why you mad? [Verse 2] You tried to fix what wasn’t broke I gave you riddles wrapped in smoke You wanted calm, I wanted proof That you'd still chase me through the roof I cried, then laughed, then shut the door You left, I begged, then asked for more It’s not the pain—it’s just the spark Of knowing you’ll still play the part [Pre-Chorus] I never asked for peace or grace I needed war to see your face [Chorus] Why you mad? You knew I swing from high to low You knew I'd flood then beg to float You stayed and danced inside my storm So why recoil now that it's warm? Why you mad? You saw the cracks and called them art But cursed them when they broke your heart I gave you me, the raw, the bad So now you leave—and I ask, why you mad? [Bridge – softly spoken, almost whispered] Was it fun until it wasn’t? Was I lovely ‘til I changed? Did you want a doll or danger? Did you think I’d stay the same? I just needed to feel something And you were oh so close to real But real hurts more than breaking things And I don’t know how else to heal [Final Chorus – emotional collapse into calmness] Why you mad? I warned you, didn’t I, with tears? You kissed the wires, braved the gears And now you’re bleeding, scared, and sad But I’m still me… Why you mad?
