[Verse 1]
I play the fool
hat low in the back row
Laugh while you act so
pure, so halo
Thought you had me on a tightrope
eyes shut, blindfold
But I clocked every side show
every lie you recycled
Once you realize
I was counting every slip, every sigh
Screenshots in a folder in my mind
Timeline stitched like a crime
You blink, I rewind
Pause on your tells, then I hit rewind
You think you hiding in the fine print
I’m the fine-tooth comb on your silence (yeah)
[Chorus]
Read you like a book
every dog-eared page
Every little note you tried to hide in the margins
Too late, too late
I’m already gone, already gone
Nothing you can do
when the mask comes off
Saw the plot twist coming from the prologue onward
Too late, too late
I’m already gone, already gone (hey)
[Verse 2]
You talk big, but your hands shake
Say “trust me” with a half-face
You rehearsed that on the staircase
mirror lines, same catchphrase
I trace patterns in the ashtray
names burned out like your past flames
All your secrets in a glass case
I tapped once and the glass breaks
Now you pacing in a closed room
Trying every old move, old tune
Every alibi a cartoon
I’ve seen this season, same doom
You begging for a new truth
But I’m ten steps past your excuse
I’m the red pen through your false proof
Every chapter ends with you, lose
[Chorus]
Read you like a book
every dog-eared page
Every little note you tried to hide in the margins
Too late, too late
I’m already gone, already gone
Nothing you can do
when the mask comes off
Saw the plot twist coming from the prologue onward
Too late, too late
I’m already gone, already gone
[Bridge]
Flip to the back, to the index
I got receipts on your intent, yeah (woo)
Every cross-out, every edit
I remember what you meant, not what you said, kid
You turn the volume up, I cut the cord
You pray for lucky breaks, I swing the sword
You reaching for the cover, I burn the story
Walk from the wreckage, I leave in glory (yeah)
[Chorus]
Read you like a book
every dog-eared page
Every little note you tried to hide in the margins
Too late, too late
I’m already gone, already gone
Nothing you can do
when the mask comes off
Saw the plot twist coming from the prologue onward
Too late, too late
I’m already gone, already gone (already gone)
