[Verse 1]
You swing first, then blame my scars
Start wars, then count my faults
You twist words till they sound like yours
Then act shocked when I call it assault
You said they’re “your” friends, that they all agree
But they roll eyes every time you speak
Smile sweet, then you sharpen teeth
And I’m the monster in your story this week
[Chorus]
Yeah, I’m the problem
That’s the lie that you live inside
You keep picking battles
Then you say it’s all in my mind
You don’t need no one
Till I finally cut the ties
You’re so strong till I walk
Then you beg, then you break, then you cry
[Verse 2]
You went cold, called it “finding peace”
Burned bridges, then blamed the heat
Shut me out, said you’re “doing fine”
Till my shadow stepped off your street
You talk tough, “I don’t need a hand”
Whole act built on shaky sand
You only bleed when I turn my back
Then flood my phone with a hundred “come back”s
[Chorus]
Yeah, I’m the problem
That’s the lie that you live inside
You keep picking battles
Then you say it’s all in my mind
You don’t need no one
Till I finally cut the ties
You’re so strong till I walk
Then you beg, then you break, then you cry
[Bridge]
You say “I changed”
But you’re the one gone strange
New mask, same rage
Same script, new stage
You scream my name
When there’s no one else to blame
I step off the game
Now you’re choking on my name (my name)
[Chorus]
Yeah, I’m the problem
That’s the lie that you live inside
You keep picking battles
Then you say it’s all in my mind
You don’t need no one
Till I finally cut the ties
You’re so strong till I walk
Then you beg, then you break, then you cry
[Outro]
Call me the problem
If it helps you sleep tonight
But I’m done being the target
For the fight you pick inside
