Cut me at the knees like this

Why you gotta be like this?
Cut me at the knees like this

Flexin' my pen while I eat my feelings
Fuck around, be the new Bob Dylan
Wrote another song ‘bout the way I didn’t
Mean to be a superhero, but you gave me a reason
And my heart’s still healing, and my scars congealing
It’s a slow burn, but long as I don’t turn into you, God willing
Make a mess on my page for my new beginning

Tear-stained ink, bitch, I think
Fucking over people is your kink
Had a sit down with my anger
Took a whole bait no chaser
Every shot down, you look more like a stranger
Oh, my God, I wanted you to be so much
But you could never change someone
They gonna do whatever they want

Why you gotta be like this?
I don’t wanna leave like this
I'm sorry
Why you gotta be like this?
Cut me at the knees like this (Like this)

Flexin' my pen while I eat my feelings (goddamn)
Fuck around, be the new Bob Dylan
Wrote another song ‘bout the way I didn’t (what, what)
Mean to be a superhero, but you gave me a reason
And my heart’s still healing, and my scars congealing
It’s a slow burn, but long as I don’t turn into you, God willing
Make a mess on my page for my new beginning

Hmm hmm
Gave you all (gve you all), of my love (of my love)
You proceeded to lose all my trust (all my trust)
All you gave me was a shit show
PTSD like a mo’fo
Only use me for my clout, my cash
You psycho
Thank you, though, for teaching me how to let go
Somatics for my hips and throat
Untagging me from all of your sad posts
(You-you-untagging me from all of your sad-sad posts)
(Un-you-you-untagging me from all your sad posts)

Cut me at the knees like this, yeah

I guess I learned something from this
