Ben Franklin Lyrics
[Verse 1]
On two, feels like spring
All on my own, guess the shit just makes you boring
Got money, I don't care about sex
You knew how I'd take it, you brought her to flex
[Chorus]
Sucker for the pain, huh, honey?
But you said you'd die
You wanna leave a stain
Like a relapse does when you really tried
And damn, this time, I really tried
[Verse 2]
Moved on, but nothing feels true
Sometimes I hate her just for not being you
Post-rehab, I've been feeling so small
I miss your attention, I wish I could call
[Chorus]
Sucker for the pain, huh, honey?
But you said you'd die
You wanna leavе a stain forever
But you said you'd die
Said you would'vе died for me
[Verse 3]
Raised your voice to me
The second time I had to make myself believe
I deserve it, I'm crazy
But don't act like you've never met me
[Bridge]
I never should've hurt you
I've got the devil in me
I've got the devil in me
I've got the devil in me
[Chorus]
Sucker for the pain, huh, honey?
But you said you'd die
You wanna leave a stain forever
But you said you'd die
Said you would've died for me

What did Snail Mail say about "Ben Franklin"?
When I was making it I was like, ‘There’s no way this is going to fit into the album—I‘m just making this to be rogue. The lyrics are rogue, the title’s rogue, the instrumental’s pretty rogue. I feel like it kind of spins out into its own universe for a little bit. But I knew it was a song I wanted...
What have the artists said about the song?
I’ve always been extremely self-assured, confident and independent—especially doing this job at such a young age. And rehab just kicks that out of you in a way. You kind of have to get in touch with values in a way that is shocking. Even just in the pandemic I was like, ‘Okay, so now I need to be go...
