Vindication

[Verse 1]
I hope he makes it painful, exactly how it always was for me
And I hope that when he leaves you, he dumps you out a mile on the sea
And I pray that when you fight, he shuts you down like you used to when I disagreed
And I swear you were far from stable way back when I was only seventeen
I'd turn back time, I'd do it right

[Chorus]
You were never my desire
If only I was half as scared as I was back then
It was never my design
To fall in love with someone who can hate the way you did
You're not a fallen angel, but you're the demon in my bed

[Verse 2]
Yeah, so why you mad
Everything you wanted, you could have
But you threw our love into the trash
Promise it ain't ever comin' back
Oh, you bad
Never wanna pay for how you act
Story of my love, a paper bag
Watchin' as you turn it into ash
I can open up from the back porch
I don't need your love, I'll attract more
Like a cigarette without a filter
I don't like to label, but this girl a killer
Get up off the table, I already ate
Got a new girl, she came with the cake
You were my world 'til you turned a villain
Tell me life is good, but, baby, this ain't livin'
Karma comes around

[Chorus]
You were never my desire
If only I was half as scared as I was back then
It was never my design
To fall in love with someone who can hate the way you did
You're not a fallen angel, but you're the demon in my bed

[Bridge]
'Cause, oh, it'd be nice to feel some vindication
Maybe I'm just a little bit impatient
But, tell me, do you feel elated when I cry, and I cried

[Chorus]
You were never my desire
If only I was half as scared as I was back then
It was never my design
To fall in love with someone who can hate the way you did
You're not a fallen angel, but you're the demon in my bed
