You hated every piece that made me different
Shaped me with your hands until I fit your frame
Every little choice became another argument
Every part of me was something left to change

You told me what to wear
Who to trust
What to say
How to laugh

I thought I was growing beside you
I was disappearing
I kept cutting pieces off myself
Just to hear you say

That's better
But nothing
Was ever enough
You tried to change who I was

Wanted me to be just like your crowd
You had a fucking opinion
About every little thing I did
I lost my time

I lost my time
Bro, do your friends know you're a cruel motherfucker?
Cruel motherfucker
Cruel motherfucker

Who's gonna pay for all this therapy now?
Tell me, was it fun while it lasted?
Who's your next victim now?
Who's gonna swear you're just a crying little baby?

Damn, man, I should have buried you in so much love
You always played the fragile one
Crying loud enough to steal the room
Somehow every wound became about you

Even when you were the one pulling the knife
Now I hear your name
And my body tenses first
Funny how survival

Sounds so much like fear
You called it love
You called it care
I call it learning

How manipulation wears a smile
You tried to change who I was
Wanted me to be just like your crowd
You had a fucking opinion

About every little thing I did
I lost my time
I lost my time
Bro, do your friends know you're a cruel motherfucker?

Cruel motherfucker
Cruel motherfucker
Who's gonna pay for all this therapy now?
Tell me, was it fun while it lasted?

Who's your next victim now?
Who's gonna swear you're just a crying little baby?
Damn, man, I should have buried you in so much love
Maybe they'll meet

The version of you I survived
Maybe they'll hear my name
And finally believe me
Or maybe

They'll be writing this song next
You tried to change who I was
Wanted me to be just like your crowd
You had a fucking opinion

About every little thing I did
I lost my time
Not my name
Bro, do your friends know you're a cruel motherfucker?

Cruel motherfucker
Cruel motherfucker
Who's gonna pay for all this therapy now?
Tell me, was it fun while it lasted?

Who's your next victim now?
Who's gonna swear you're just a crying little baby?
I loved you so fucking much
Damn, man, I should have buried you in so much love
