(Verse 1)
You used to see the good in me, just your puppet on a string
Thought you could steal my freedom, and control everything
But that reflection you saw? Maybe that wasn’t me
You ever thought I might’ve played a role of the person you wanted me to be
You called me crazy, said my feelings were a mess
And I just smiled and took notes on your patheticness
(Pre-Chorus)
I gave you a show, a woman on the verge
But I was busy planning my escape, fueling this fiery surge
You left a trail of pieces, thought I'd fall and lose my way
But I picked them up, built a throne, and now I'm here to slay.
(Chorus)
You thought you could treat me like I'm just lame?
Now look
Thought you could just tame that spicy bitch in me?
Now look
You thought you had me stuck and filled with shame?
Now look
Thought I'd never leave? (But bye!) Now who's to blame?
NOW LOOK
(Verse 2)
You stole my laugh, my hobbies, my friends—all your little games
But I got 'em all back, they just callin' me by different names
You took the butterflies and turned ‘em into knots inside my gut
I guess you forgot what happens when a queen's feelings are cut
You say the cruelest things, and I just laugh like it's a joke
'Cause the only thing you're breaking is the last bit of your hope
(Pre-Chorus)
I gave you a show, a woman on the verge
But I was busy planning my escape, fueling this fiery surge
You left a trail of pieces, thought I'd fall and lose my way
But I picked them up, built a throne, and now I'm here to slay.
(Chorus)
You thought you could treat me like I'm just lame?
Now look
Thought you could just tame that spicy bitch in me?
Now look
You thought you had me stuck and filled with shame?
Now look
Thought I'd never leave? (But bye!) Now who's to blame?
NOW LOOK
(Bridge)
You tried to pretend this was great, you tried to lie to my face
But this was a cage, a prison, a terrible, lonely place
You tried to make me feel crazy, but I just saw your insecurity
Now the whole world sees your flaws, your true immaturity
I'm not impossible to love, I was just impossible for you
And now you can stay stuck in your feelings if you want, but I’m gone find something new.
(Chorus)
You thought you could treat me like I'm just lame?
Now look
Thought you could just tame that spicy bitch in me?
Now look
You thought you had me stuck and filled with shame?
Now look
Thought I'd never leave? (But bye!) Now who's to blame?
NOW LOOK

My phone’s ringing, and it’s a name I don’t recognize…

Hello? Oh, it’s you? My bad, I thought you understood I cut all these ties.

He’s asking for me back, saying he finally learned his lesson.
(R&B)
Honey, I’m busy. The number you’ve dialed is currently me don’t right so I can’t receive gods next blessin'.
