Spring-Delay Scapegoat

Verse 1 Your girlfriend left you, now you’re in a spin And like clockwork, your pointing fingers begin You’re crying eyes out, bawling on the floor Because she walked right out your bedroom door And somehow, magically, it’s all my fault You lock my kindness in a prison vault The second she packs up and leaves your side You need a scapegoat for your broken pride. Chorus You keep on saying that you understand But you just hold the match that burns our land I’m done with trying to explain my hurt While you just drag my feelings through the dirt I don’t want space to fix this down the line I want a clean break from your life and mine This isn't working, I am pulling through I don’t want to be friends with you. Verse 2 You use your speech-to-text to scream and shout Blaming my name for how the love ran out Your voice is shaking, full of bitter grief And throwing dirt on me brings you relief You say I caused the drama, made it break When I just watched the messy steps you'd take I’m tired of playing the villain in your script Every time your perfect world gets ripped. Chorus You keep on saying that you understand But you just hold the match that burns our land I’m done with trying to explain my hurt While you just drag my feelings through the dirt I don’t want space to fix this down the line I want a clean break from your life and mine This isn't working, I am pulling through I don’t want to be friends with you. Verse 3 It’s a pattern now, it’s a toxic routine Every single fight that happens behind the scene She gets upset, she blocks you on her phone And suddenly you cannot stand to be alone So you turn around and put the weight on me Like I’m the monster in your history I won't be your punching bag for her mistakes I'm bending till I can't, and now it breaks. Chorus You keep on saying that you understand But you just hold the match that burns our land I’m done with trying to explain my hurt While you just drag my feelings through the dirt I don’t want space to fix this down the line I want a clean break from your life and mine This isn't working, I am pulling through I don’t want to be friends with you. Verse 4 Your mom is blocking numbers, taking phones away While you find new and cruel things to say You say my support is something you don't feel But your appreciation never has been real You only call me your best friend on earth When you need someone to absorb the hurt But the minute she smiles, I disappear Until the next time that she isn't here. Verse 5 Your therapist walked out, you’re on your own So now you’re blowing up my quiet phone You send a text that says "I love you so" Then write a paragraph to strike a blow "I guess I forgive you," you dared to write to me As if you're the victim of this tragedy Forgive me for what? For standing by your mess? I'm done carrying your relationship stress. Chorus You keep on saying that you understand But you just hold the match that burns our land I’m done with trying to explain my hurt While you just drag my feelings through the dirt I don’t want space to fix this down the line I want a clean break from your life and mine This isn't working, I am pulling through I don’t want to be friends with you. Verse 6 This is the final curtain, the end of the show I’m taking back my peace and letting you go No more late-night texts about your fights No more defending myself to make things right Go find another friend to take the blame Because I am officially out of your game The friendship is dead, the boundary is set This is a goodbye you won't ever forget. Bridge Every time she leaves, I pay the price I’m done taking your toxic, rewritten advice You trash our friendship to save your own skin But I’m locking the door, you're not coming back in You said I would make it ten times worse Well, being your best friend was the real curse So carry your own weight, and carry your own shame Because you can no longer mention my name. Chorus You keep on saying that you understand But you just hold the match that burns our land I’m done with trying to explain my hurt While you just drag my feelings through the dirt I don’t want space to fix this down the line I want a clean break from your life and mine This isn't working, I am pulling through I don’t want to be friends with you. Outro Go cry to someone who still wants to stay I’m turning off my phone and walking away No back-and-forth, no guessing what it means I’m letting go of all your messy scenes Blame me one last time as I walk out the door We aren't best friends, not anymore.
