Dumb With a Knack

V5.5

[Verse 1] You said “It’s just bad luck, babe” Spilled red on my thrift‑store lace Laughing while the plates still shake You said you didn't mean it You just “didn’t see” You tripped and hit the red button Right on top of me [Pre-Chorus] Are you cruel, or just careless? Are you lying, or airless? Either way, I’m bleeding out and you’re lost looking about [Chorus] Never attribute to malice what your chaos does just fine You break everything around you then act surprised every time If you’re not a villain on purpose why does it feel rehearsed? If this is you just being stupid tell me, which one’s worse? (tell me) [Verse 2] Another “I didn’t mean it” Clueless standing here You trip over consequences Like they’re not even there You miss Every birthday, every call You don’t plan the fallout You just make it worse [Pre-Chorus] Is it poison Or just empty air Are you heartless Or too unaware [Chorus] Never blame the knife If the hand keeps slipping You say it’s just dumb, just clumsy living But it cuts so clean, so straight through faith Hanlon’s razor Still takes my face You say “baby, I’m a fool, not a villain, okay?” So why does every stupid move Feel aimed my way? [Bridge] Maybe you’re thoughtless Maybe I’m wrong Maybe I’m reading Spite in a song But if you’re so harmless Why do I bleed? How many “oops” Till it looks like a scheme? [Chorus] Never blame a demon for a fool with a match You just lost in the chaos, never planned the crash Every cruel little cut that you call a mistake You’re too slow to be wicked, too dumb to be fake Never trust a villain when they’re barely awake You don’t plot, you just crumble, watch the damage you make I gave you all that power, now I’m taking it back ‘Cause it’s not that you hate me You’re just dumb with a knack [Outro] You laugh it off I laugh it off I'm the idiot now For calling this love?
