[Intro]
One, zero
One, two, three
[Chorus]
I pulled the strings of your heart like a brand new guitar
Leaving scar after scar and the void unfilled
Hid the keys to my car, so we can’t be apart
You’re the reason it’s hard for my wounds to heal
I thought I warned you
I’m not good for you
You don’t know right from wrong
Girl, where’s your morals?
We’re far from normal
Done following orders, yeah
Won’t argue all night long
Let’s keep it cordial
[Verse 1]
I’m done with this shit that’s a damn fact, she said, "I'm a player", I've been that
My stages get paper I plan that, can’t put you in front of the Benz yet
Can’t promise you all of myself, and this ain’t the first time I said that
I know you want to me all to yourself, but I’m done with this shit and I meant it
Girl I know the truth hurts, but it’s needed
So quit crying to me, quit pleading
And we both know I got reasons
Hand me the key to my car and I'm leaving
Don’t play dumb girl you know why
Not much left 'tween you and I
Let's just leave this shit behind and then lil bro can see that I
[Chorus]
I pulled the strings of your heart like a brand new guitar
Leaving scar after scar and the void unfilled
Hid the keys to my car, so we can’t be apart
You're the reason it’s hard for my wounds to heal
I thought I warned you
I’m not good for you
You don’t know right from wrong
Girl, where’s your morals?
We’re far from normal
Done following orders, yeah
Won’t argue all night long
Let's keep it cordial
[Verse 2]
I hope I never see your ass or that Benz S-Class and your mother never ask about me
I hope I ain't the reason why you get high all the time and you learn to get by without me
Trust me, I know a cry for help when I see you and keeping me close only for the wrong reasons
I think we both had enough so forget getting even
So, let me go, girl, 'cause we both know, girl
[Chorus]
I pulled the strings of your heart like a brand new guitar
Leaving scar after scar and the void unfilled
Hid the keys to my car, so we can’t be apart
You're the reason it’s hard for my wounds to heal
I thought I warned you (Woah)
I’m not good for you (Woah)
You don’t know right from wrong (Woah)
Girl, where’s your morals? (Woah)
We’re far from normal (Woah)
Done following orders (Woah)
Won’t argue all night long (Woah)
Let's keep it cordial
