[Verse 1]
Ashtray halo on the nightstand
Text from you I never open
Wedding ring inside the glovebox
Twenty milligrams to keep me goin'
Kids’ pics on a cracked phone screen
Smilin' big while I’m half asleep
Judge talk clean, but I talk cheap
Signed my name, lost everything
[Pre-Chorus]
You took the house, took the faith I had
All I kept was this hunger and a duffel bag
Every scar, every scar is a paragraph
So read my back when I turn and laugh (ha)
[Chorus]
I’m that motherfucker you were warned about
Screamin' at the ceiling when the lights go out
Turn my broken heart to a battleground
Yeah, I’m that motherfucker, better say it loud
I’m that motherfucker that you couldn't fix
Tattooed truth in between the hits
From the bottom of the bottle to the crucifix
I’m that motherfucker, I’m that motherfucker
[Verse 2]
Bar tab livin', pull the pain back
Blackout prayer in a brown bag
Therapist say I got patterns
But patterns all I got that last
New girl's callin' me a red flag
Still wraps arms where the meds at
She want love, I just want static
Crash my car just to feel somethin' happen
[Pre-Chorus]
You took the warmth, left the whiskey glass
I sip slow on the ghosts of our photograph
If regret had a roar, it would sound like this
Teeth on edge in a motel kiss
[Chorus]
I’m that motherfucker you were warned about
Screamin' at the ceiling when the lights go out
Turn my broken heart to a battleground
Yeah, I’m that motherfucker, better say it loud
I’m that motherfucker that you couldn't fix
Tattooed truth in between the hits
From the bottom of the bottle to the crucifix
I’m that motherfucker, I’m that motherfucker
[Bridge]
[Beat drops half-time, guitars grind]
Middle finger to the rearview (rearview)
Ain’t a thing left here that I fear, dude
If rock bottom got a sound, let it tear through
Every pill, every tear that I steer through
I’m the burn in the back of your throat (yeah)
Name you curse when you choke on the smoke
You made a villain from a regular man
Now I’m legend every time that I stand and say
[Chorus]
I’m that motherfucker you were warned about
Screamin' at the ceiling when the lights go out
Turn my broken heart to a battleground
Yeah, I’m that motherfucker, better say it loud
I’m that motherfucker that you couldn't fix
Tattooed truth in between the hits
From the bottom of the bottle to the crucifix
I’m that motherfucker, I’m that motherfucker (hey!)
I’m that motherfucker, I’m that motherfucker
