Pretty girl wanna know a trick?
Rip a bandaid so the pain is quick
Pull it slow and it’s bound to stick
But what’s a little friendship compared to a big —
You've never loved before
Felt so close to another soul
Never trust, it shows
Never took time to establish codes
Pretty girl wanna see the truth?
Maybe you’re right and maybe I’m ruthless
Pardon me for exploiting you
But something unspoken’s broken me too
You went and took the dive
Fell face first in between his thighs
Hope it’s worth the high
There’s no more you and I
This is my fuck you song I never got to write
This is the punch I never threw out in a fight
This is my broken heart I never let you see
This is polite regard taking the back seat
Baby girl trying to slide one by
But honey you’re stomping hard on thin ice
What, you think that your girl is high?
‘Cause broken down blind men see what you’re hiding
There’s nothing left to say
Take your crown and the games you play
Keep em tucked away
Under the bed you’ve made
I never meant this to get so unruly
But I think you’ll agree the cards fell quite cruelly
Thought I could sit idly by
But I can’t let go
I pushed I pried I reaped what I sowed
But you can’t seriously tell me that this is what I’m owed
This is my fuck you song I never got to write
This is the punch I never threw out in a fight
This is my broken heart I never let you see
This is polite regard taking the back seat
This is my fuck you song I never got to write
This is the punch I never threw out in a fight
This is my broken heart I never let you see
This is polite regard taking the back seat
