[Intro]
Eyes red
Phone face-down
Same fight
New round
[Verse 1]
I was tryna be the good guy
Till the good died in my chest, went blank
Now I hold my own halo
Like a weapon when I walk in the bank
Pull up to the past like, "Pay me"
Every little scar, every late-night taunt
You made a monster from a soft kid
Then blamed me for the beast you want
Now I'm cold in a warm room
Quiet when the knives come out
Smile on a split lip
Talk brave with a cracked-down mouth
I was begging for a lifeline
Y’all were laughing at the way I choke
Now I tattoo every insult
On my veins so I never get close
[Chorus]
I'm the weak hero, spine made of glass
Heart like a mirror you never could crack
Bleeding in the back row, still on track
Still on track
Call me weak hero, shaking but I stand
Hands still trembling, pen in my hand
You took all the power, I kept my plan
Kept my plan
[Verse 2]
You only love me when I break down
Screenshot tears, send them to your friends
Act tough on a locked screen
Leave me on seen, then hit me again
I ain't bulletproof, I ain't stone-made
Every word hits, yeah, I still bruise
But I learned how to lean in
Turn every hit into something I use
Got ghosts in my headphones
Talking like, "You won't win this war"
But I built me a kingdom
Out of every time I slept on the floor
So if I fall, then I fall loud
Face first, both fists clenched tight
Let ‘em film, let ‘em point, let ‘em laugh now
I get up, same night
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register] Soft boy in a hard shell
Still cries when the room’s dark
[lift] Still loves like it’s farewell
Still walks with a split heart
I don't want praise, I want peace
I don't want blame, I want sleep
But if all I get is this pain
I'll turn it to flame
And burn through the weak
[Chorus]
