“Trusted My Gut”
(Intro)
Yeah…
Ten years.
All that loyalty… for what?
Listen.
(Verse 1)
Should’ve trusted my gut, every feeling I suppressed,
Every little red flag pounding in my chest.
You called me crazy every time I’d ask why,
Whole time you were rehearsing another damn lie.
Painted me a psycho, called me obsessed,
Made yourself the hero while you made a whole mess.
Talking real loud like you’re somebody tough,
Truth is you’re just broken, and your act ain’t enough.
You flex for attention, you fake for applause,
Can’t build a real life when it’s built on flaws.
Now the truth came knocking, kicked down your door,
Tell me who’s the victim that they’re believing anymore?
(Pre-Chorus)
Funny how karma don’t ever lose the trail.
Every lie you sold eventually goes on sale.
(Hook)
I should’ve trusted my gut.
Should’ve never let you eat off my love.
Paid your bills, kept food in your hands,
While you played boyfriend with somebody else’s man.
Two different women? Damn, what a prize.
You traded ten years just to live in disguise.
I know my worth, I’m cutting this line.
You ain’t worth another second of my time.
(Verse 2)
The night you confessed, I ain’t even cry,
’Cause deep down I knew before you opened your mouth to lie.
My heart already packed, my soul checked out,
You were just confirming every lingering doubt.
You remind me of my ex, that’s the funniest part,
Different damn face, same counterfeit heart.
At least back then I cried where nobody could see,
I never handed over my pain for free.
While I was buying your gifts, paying every damn bill,
Trying to build a future, trying to keep us real.
You were out switching positions, chasing cheap thrills,
Selling ten years for a temporary feel.
(Bridge)
Tell me… was it worth it?
Was the ego really worth it?
Was the lying really worth it?
Look around… now you’re standing in the dirt with it.
(Verse 3)
You wanted me broken, wanted me begging your name,
Instead I walked away and left you carrying the shame.
Now everybody sees exactly who you are,
A little man pretending he’s a superstar.
No more cash. No more rides.
No more loyalty standing by your side.
No more excuses. No more chances.
Go explain yourself through all those failed romances.
You thought I’d never leave, thought I’d always stay,
Guess you learned the hard way love can walk away.
I ain’t bitter, I ain’t chasing revenge.
I’m just cutting dead weight—that’s the end.
(Final Hook)
Should’ve trusted my gut.
Should’ve never let you live off my love.
Paid your bills, put food on your plate,
You paid me back with betrayal and hate.
Hope those two were worth throwing ten years away.
Hope they keep you warm when the truth makes them stray.
I’m walking away, finally seeing the signs.
I know my worth…
And you’ll never be worth mine.
(Outro)
You didn’t break me.
You exposed yourself.
That’s the difference.
