*(Verse 1)*
Oh, so this is the one you left me for?
Guess you set the bar right on the floor
Got yourself a brand-new pretty boy
But does he know he’s just your latest toy?
*(Pre-Chorus)*
I see you flexin’, postin’ pics
Tryna prove that you’re over it
But I know you too damn well
And, baby, I can tell—
*(Chorus)*
That he don’t kiss you like I did
He don’t know the way you fib
When you say you’re happy now
Oh, you must be playin’ round
If he’s the best that you could do
Then I almost pity you
But hey, congrats, enjoy the ride
With your downgrade in disguise
*(Verse 2)*
Oh, I bet he calls you "babe" too soon
Writes you poems under the moon
But he don’t know your twisted games
Or how you never take the blame
*(Pre-Chorus)*
I see you flexin’, postin’ pics
Tryna prove that you’re over it
But I know you too damn well
And, baby, I can tell—
*(Chorus)*
That he don’t kiss you like I did
He don’t know the way you fib
When you say you’re happy now
Oh, you must be playin’ round
If he’s the best that you could do
Then I almost pity you
But hey, congrats, enjoy the ride
With your downgrade in disguise
*(Bridge)*
Does he know about the nights you cried?
The mess you made? The perfect lies?
Or does he think you’re picture-perfect?
Oh, he’ll learn—it ain’t worth it
*(Outro)*
So keep your hand in his, hold on tight
Sell the dream, make it look right
But I ain’t fooled, I see through
And deep down… so do you
