Tell Them The Whole Story

[Cold Open / Hook] Tell them the whole story Not just where I broke Tell them what you did to me Before I finally spoke Tell them I was begging While you acted bored Tell them I became a monster After crawling on your floor [Verse 1] You told your friends I changed Like it came from nowhere Like I woke up one morning And forgot how to care But you don’t tell them midnight You don’t tell them the fights You don’t tell them I cried With my shoes on all night [Pre-Chorus] I hate that I loved you Through every red flag I hate that I thanked you For the scraps that I had [Chorus] Tell them the whole fucking story Tell them all of it loud Tell them I wasn’t crazy I was clawing my way out Tell them you lit the match Then cried when I burned Tell them you kept taking Till I lost my fucking mind [Verse 2] You said I was jealous You said I was too much But you left out the lying And the names in your phone Now “I love you” sounds pretty But it feels like a curse I don’t know what you stole from me But I know I got worse [Bridge / Breakdown] Don’t say I snapped Say you pushed Don’t say I left Say I looked At every ugly thing You kept hiding from me And chose myself While I still had a body [Final Chorus] Tell them the whole fucking story Tell them all of it loud Tell them I wasn’t crazy I was clawing my way out Tell them I loved you Tell them I tried Tell them you called me damaged After teaching me to hide [Outro] Tell them the whole story Not just where I broke Tell them what you did to me Before I had to become this.
