lyrics

I've already soothed the burns
From the radiation
Coming from the rage you felt
When I wished you well and said I don't want complications
I didn't mean it
In a bad way
I just figured
That I'd always
Be honest
You said to be honest
I'm always honest
But now I know
You never are

I didn't think that you'd go far with your
Racist boyfriend and his fancy car
But somehow you did
It's like
A stolen coat put in a lost and found or
Feeling the need to turn around
When the image of your face is already burned
In my head
It doesn't change a thing you did

I see right through
You're so predicable now
I know the truth
I never really had a doubt
You're not so screwed
From what I see it's all laid out
But you look so blue
For someone that's got it made

I didn't think that it would come to that
Where I was always wrong and we were always mad
I guess I'll claim the fault though
Because
I see you're busy making real good choices
Claiming you care about your best friend's voice
When the only thing you care about is
When you'll go to sleep
And yet you say you still have dreams

I see right through
You're so predicable now
I know the truth
I never really had a doubt
You're not so screwed
From what I see it's all laid out
But you look so blue
For someone that's got it made
You've totally got it made
