[Intro]
I never took you for a trick but
Sometimes I don't know what you want
I could take it if you need to
Take this out on someone
[Verse 1]
That little bitch with her head held
So high, talking shit when I
Cut myself so I can feel something
I know is not a lie
[Pre-Chorus]
That one stings a little
I'm always in the middle
I don't expect but try me
And you will always find me here
This is where I scream from
[Chorus]
Yeah, you can take it all away and I'll miss
There's a little bit of you in all this
And you can say you only think you know, yeah
Please, there's a better bit of me to see yet
Because you haven't seen any of my best
You know I hate myself without you now, yeah
[Post-Chorus]
Hurts the same when nobody knows
Guess that's just how it goes
And I, I won't say anything at all
[Verse 2]
I was talking on a dollar sign
Anxious, scared of what you need
Everybody wants a piece of you
Everyone takes a piece of me
[Pre-Chorus]
That one stings a little
I'm always in the middle
I don't expect but try me
And you will always find me here
This is where I scream from
[Chorus]
Yeah, you can take it all away and I'll miss
There's a little bit of you in all of this
And you can say you only think you know, yeah
Oh please, there's a better bit of me to see yet
Because you haven't seen any of my best
You know I hate myself without you now, yeah
[Post-Chorus]
Hurts the same when nobody knows
Guess that's just how it goes
And I, I won't say anything at all
(I, I)
[Bridge]
This is the hook
Take it like you took
I'm shaking like I shook you more
Never ever getting better off
And I can only watch
This is where I stopped before
Not another piece of me
I always slip away from
I always slip away from
[Pre-Chorus]
I won't say anything but
[Chorus]
Yeah, you can take it all away and I'll miss
There's a little bit of you in all this
And you can say you only think you know, yeah
Please, there's a better bit of me to see yet
'Cause you haven't seen any of my best
You know I hate myself
[Post-Chorus]
Hurts the same when nobody knows
Guess that's just how it goes
And I, I won't say anything at all
I won't say anything at all
And I won't say anything at all
