Dead Weight

You wore my trust like a disguise

Shook my hand while holdin’ knives

Said my name like we were good

Then dragged me through your neighborhood

You played the victim, played it clean

But I know exactly what you mean

Every story had a twist

Funny how the truth don’t fit

I gave you real, you gave me games

Now I don’t even say your name

You’re just dead weight, I cut you loose

No more lies I gotta excuse

You talk loud but you got no spine

All that fake shit don’t fly with mine

You can run, you can rewrite me

But you ain’t got no credibility

I was solid, you were pretend

Now you’re nothing, not even a friend

You built your image off my pain

Turned my loss into your gain

Climbed up using what I gave

Then acted like I should be saved

You love the drama, love the scene

But hate yourself in between

So you tear down anything real

Guess that’s just how you deal

I don’t need to scream or fight

Cut you off and sleep just fine

You’re just dead weight, I cut you loose

No more lies I gotta excuse

You talk loud but you got no spine

All that fake shit don’t fly with mine

You can run, you can rewrite me

But you ain’t got no credibility

I was solid, you were pretend

Now you’re nothing, not even a friend

[Bridge] (low, controlled, almost calm)

No revenge, I don’t chase

Your own truth will show your face

I don’t hate you, that’s too deep

You’re just someone I don’t keep

[Final Chorus] (controlled but final)

You’re just dead weight, I let you go

Now I see what I didn’t know

All that time, all that trust

Turned to nothing, turned to dust

You can talk, I don’t defend

I don’t care how this one ends

I was real ‘til the very end

You were never even a friend
