Sometimes people f*ck you over and pretend like it never happened. And it’s not your job to forgive them, or to bring them to justice. But sometimes you just want to, and no one can stop you.
Two years sober
Two years clean
I’m still ruined
And you’re still some kind of mean
You’ve always been so fucking mean
I come back home to see you
You don’t know why i’m here
You’ve got some bitch up in your bed and she still reeks of beer
Do you like to do to her
What you would do to me
The things i cried about for weeks
That no one would believe
You’ve got your head on backwards
To keep an eye out for your enemies
So you won’t see me coming
To put your knife right in the heart you always hid from me
Play with fire
You’ll get burned (watch it burn)
But that’s a lesson (now it’s a lesson)
You never learned (you’re gonna learn)
I cut your feet with broken glass
And stain your floor 20 shades of red
By the time i’m done with you
You’ll cry to god and pray for death
But i won’t give it to you yet
Two years sober
Two years clean
I’m still ruined
And you’re still some kind of mean
You’ve always been so fucking mean
You act like you don't know
You say you want me to go
But now i'm the one in control
Play with fire
You’ll get burned (watch it burn)
But that’s a lesson (now it’s a lesson)
You never learned (you’re gonna learn)
I cut your feet with broken glass
And stain your floor 20 shades of red
By the time i’m done with you
You’ll cry to god and pray for death
But i won’t give it to you yet
Two years sober
Two years clean
Now you're ruined
And now I'm the one who's mean
I guess I'm just fucking mean
