Figured You Out

“Just talk to me about this, please… I made a mistake. Can’t you just forgive me?”

You wanted me to talk

So fuckin’ listen

You call it one mistake

I call it a decision

You’re beggin’ me to stay

Like tears can change the truth

But I know exactly who you are now

I figured out, you

You learned to weaponize a smile

And hide the rot beneath

You played the saint for quite a while

While lyin’ through your teeth

You needed strangers sayin’ yes

To make yourself feel gold

Now silence puts you to the test

And suddenly you begin’ to fold

Same disguise

Different night

Different guy

Same dead eyes

Under the lights

You thought I’d never see

What lived behind the act

Now every piece of you

Makes perfect fucking sense!

Yeah, I figured you out

That’s why it cuts so deep

Keep wearin’ that plastic crown

I know it’s meltin’ underneath

You priced yourself like somethin’ rare

And waited for the chase

Now nobody is reaching there

So tell me how does the dust taste?

You built your worth around the views

And swore they’d never fade

Now every silence tells the truth

About the mess you made

Same disguise

Different fucking night

Different guy

Same dead eyes

Under the lights

You wanted to be wanted

More than you wanted love

Now with all that fuckin’ attention

Still ain’t enough

I figured you out

That’s why it cuts so deep

Keep wearing that plastic crown

I know it’s meltin’ underneath

I know the pause before you lie

The tears before the blame

The way you needed another guy

Whenever guilt gets named

You thought your games were somethin’ new

Like no one knew the signs

But once I finally studied you

The pattern fucking rhymed!!

Oh, I figured you out

That’s why it cuts so deep

Keep wearing that plastic crown

I know it’s meltin’ underneath

Yeah! I figured you out

No secret left to keep

So sit there with your melted fuckin’ crown

And tell me how does that dust taste.
