[Verse 1] Funny how it all started I never made a sound But in your version, somehow I'm the one who burned it down Said one thing you couldn't handle You started a war Painted me a villain Where a victim stood before [break] [Pre-Chorus] Go on, tell me how I'm not the woman you need Drown me in your gaslight sea Cut me with words, watch me bleed Once again I'm the problem For finding my voice It's always been about you We both know I've never had a choice [Chorus] Pay you in full But you sell me half-truths Just counterfeit honesty My scars are the proof Still stand here wondering Why I've stayed so long Giving my all just felt so right Turns out I was wrong [Verse 2] I led with my heart Not my head, for too long Hearing "nothing to worry about" Convinced me I was wrong Swallowed months of your silence Suffocating on the doubt All alone in a cold room When the truth finally came out And you were nowhere to be found [Pre-Chorus] Go on and tell me I'm not the woman you need School me on the ways You spin the lies you still feed Me day after day Your poison's an acquired taste A bitter pill I've learned to swallow With a smile on my face [Break] [Chorus] Pay you in full But you sell me half-truths Just counterfeit honesty My scars are the proof Still stand here wondering Why I've stayed so long Giving my all just felt so right Turns out I was wrong [Bridge] You spent me like credit No plan to repay Lovebombed me when you felt me Pulling away No amount of I'm-sorries Can buy back what I've spent Tried to be the good girl you wanted Bruised, not broken, just bent Emotionally bankrupt Went broke trying to reach you Never realizing what it Would cost me to keep you Go find a new shadow Content to gather dust on a shelf I won't be the yes-machine You're dying to build yourself [Break] [Final Chorus] But I still pay you in full While you sell me half-truths And honestly, you bear The burden of proof I'll suffer your shit with a smile Bide my time, but not for long And by the time you realize What you had and lost I'll be gone Long gone
