[Verse 1] Funny how the truth don't matter once the damage has been dealt Hand 'em every receipt, watch 'em twist it till it's somebody else's fault I called it months in advance like a clock with a busted hand Watched it tick to the second, watched it land exactly how I planned But the silence after proof hits harder than the lie that bled 'Cause a lie gets a reaction, proof just gets ignored instead That's the part that gets me, not the fall, not the fact I'm done It's the quiet that comes after, not a single not a one [Refrain] Proved you right and still got nothing back No sorry, no real talk, just silence and that's that Believed a stranger over years of history with me Vindication don't mean nothing if it's only felt by me [Verse 2] Watched a friendship I built brick by brick for years collapse in a week Over words from someone who ain't told the truth since she could speak Instant faith in a stranger, instant doubt in what I showed Funny how the loyalty gets tested the second it's owed I ain't mad about the lie, lies are easy, lies are cheap I'm mad about the ones who knew better and still let it eat Through everything we built up, every year that came before Disappeared into the smoke and never knocked back on the door [Refrain] Proved you right and still got nothing back No sorry, no real talk, just silence and that's that Believed a stranger over years of history with me Vindication don't mean nothing if it's only felt by me [Verse 3] So keep on avoiding saying my name out your mouth Keep building up your little kingdom, keep the snakes in your house I don't need an apology to know I told it straight I just needed you to be the person I thought, not the one who's fake But that's the lesson, that's the only thing I'm walking with Not every bridge that burns deserves the rope to build it back and live Some people prove exactly who they are when push comes to shove And what they prove ain't loyalty, it's the limit of their love [Outro] Proved right and still got nothing No apology, no closure, the silence just kept setting in That's what it costs you speaking up when nobody wants to hear it But I said what I said And I'd say it again
