On “bastard,” glaive criticizes his success and its curse that isolates him from the jovial bliss he had once enjoyed.

[Chorus]
She said I'm a bastard
Every single person in my life turned to an actor
Fairy tales lied, there's no happily ever after
All the flowers die when I'm running through the pasture
Plastered, all I hear is laughter
She said I'm a bastard
Every single person in my life turned to an actor
Fairy tales lied, there's no happily ever after
All the flowers die when I'm running through the pasture
Plastered, all I hear is laughter
[Verse]
We been playing games, all the "He said, she said"
He said she said he didn't mean it
She said he said that she should just leave it
And I'm tired of arguing, tired of grieving
Let me tell a story 'bout a boy I know
He was 'bout fifteen years, stood about six foot four
He made a couple connections, and he opened some doors
And now he realized he was way better before
And I'm always alone, and that's a blessing and a curse
'Cause I could be doing better, but I could be doing worse
And I'm not even invested, I just sit back and observe
And if he fuck around and test me, I might put him in this earth
And I'ma walk in, walk out
Every single person in my life, they wanna pop in
And I know for a fact they will not pop out
Got a little confident, hear it in how I talk now, copped out (Haha)
[Chorus]
She said I'm a bastard
Every single person in my life turned to an actor
Fairy tales lied, there's no happily ever after
All the flowers die when I'm running through the pasture
Plastered, all I hear is laughter
She said I'm a bastard
Every single person in my life turned to an actor
Fairy tales lied, there's no happily ever after
All the flowers die when I'm running through the pasture
Plastered, all I hear is laughter
