why do you
say those things that you don’t mean?
why do you
insist on taunting me?
you want me to give in to your whims
but i will have to say no to them

curvy and smart
you’ve got your mark
and you’re so determined that
holding back just isn’t an option
i like to take a breath
i like to play hard
and i like to see if you get lonely too

i’m trying to figure out if you’re meaning what you say
but you’re acting one way at the beginning of the day
you’re saying all these things you probably want to take back
don’t you hate that?
still you’re treating me that way
but i’m on to your games
so know i’m going
and that song’s gonna change
won’t succumb to your whims

why do you
say those things that you don’t mean?
why do you
insist on taunting me?
you want me to give in to your whims
but i will have to say no to them

so what’s happening now?
i can’t figure it out
you’re so kim kardashian
you’re a bum out
i’ve got my thumb out
i’m trying to hitch a ride
trying to get back to the place
where both you and i
would call each other baby
i’m going effin’ crazy
that’s right i rhymed crazy and baby
‘cause now i’m lazy
‘cause i can’t think about anything
other than all the effort
my brain’s infected with devils
like the gza record
and of course i always think about your face
there is no conviction
now we’re both a cold case
i love you always
but i hate you right now
you took my darkest parts and applied your white out
i thought it was ball two
how’d i already strike out?
here come the water works, girl
i guess i’ll wipe out
but this is right now
nothing to do with later
i guess it’s lights out
let someone else change her

why do you
say those things that you don’t mean?
why do you
insist on taunting me?
you want me to give in to your whims
but i will have to say no to them
‘cause i’m on to your games
so now i’m going
and that song’s gonna change
i won’t succumb to your whims

so if we’re speaking truths
as a matter of fact
i gave you everything
and you gave nothing back
so i’m gonna turn my back
and it’s hard because you’re beautiful
i’d said i love you to death
now welcome to my funeral
and as the coffin closes
in the ground it’s lowered
and the dirt’ll cover
every memory of her
we’ll both tell our new lovers
of how awful the other one was
and probably forget
that we even shared a love
but it’s okay
i suppose that’s just the way it goes
these are the confessions
of a bad heart that was filled with holes
and if we both point the finger for long enough
we’ll forget our love
and someone new will come and dig us up
