always me

[Verse 1]
Why’s it always my phone blowin’ up at midnight?
Text message reading,’ “Don’t tell them I said that”
Then they hit me up, cryin’, “What did I do wrong?”
Now I’m patchin' holes in a war I don’t belong in
Every fight, I’m the damn referee
Every tear, they spill it onto me
Like I ain’t got my own shit goin' on
But fuck it, here I am, playin’ pawn

[Chorus]
It’s always me, caught in the middle of a mess
Wearin’ both colors, tryna clean up your stress
I hear both sides, but who’s hearin' mine?
I’m runnin’ on fumes, wastin’ my time
It’s always me, caught in the middle of a mess
Wearin’ both colors, tryna clean up your stress
I hear both sides, but who’s hearin' mine?
I’m runnin’ on fumes, wastin’ my time

[Post-Chorus]
(Ah, ah)
(Ah, ah)
(Ah, ah)
Why the hell is it always me?
Me, me, me, yeah!

[Verse 2]
You don’t ask how I’m doin’, just unload your shit
Actin’ like I chose to be part of it
Smile for one, lie for another
Play the shrink, the spy, the fuckin' cover
If you both hate each other, why the fuck you keep talkin'?
Drag me in, then act surprised when I’m walkin'
I ain't your therapist, I ain't your priest
I'm the one who's hurtin' the most, at least (Ugh)

[Chorus]
It’s always me, caught in the middle of a mess
Wearin’ both colors, tryna clean up your stress
I hear both sides, but who’s hearin' mine?
I’m runnin’ on fumes, wastin’ my time
It’s always me, caught in the middle of a mess
Wearin’ both colors, tryna clean up your stress
I hear both sides, but who’s hearin' mine?
I’m runnin’ on fumes, wastin’ my time

[Post-Chorus]
(Ah, ah)
(Ah, ah)
(Ah, ah)
Why the hell is it always me?

[Bridge]
Don’t call me when your world explodes
Don’t text me names
Mothafucker, I already know
Don’t ask me to fix what you won’t change
Don’t make me the face of all your blame

[Chorus]
It’s always me, caught in the middle of a mess
Wearin’ both colors, tryna clean up your stress
I hear both sides, but who’s hearin' mine?
I’m runnin’ on fumes, wastin’ my time
It’s always me, caught in the middle of a mess
Wearin’ both colors, tryna clean up your stress
I hear both sides, but who’s hearin' mine?
I’m runnin’ on fumes, wastin’ my time

[Outro]
(Ah, ah)
(Ah, ah)
(Ah, ah)
Why the hell is it always me?
