Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You changed your status
You changed her name
Into a highlight reel
Of my worst days
You kiss her forehead
Caption
"finally found peace"
While I'm on the floor
Scrolling
Can't breathe
[Pre-Chorus]
You turned my heartbreak
Into your headline
Every new picture
Cuts me new lines
Do you sleep better
Knowing I see
Or do you keep posting
Just to get to me
[Chorus]
Why you gotta be so cruel in public
Laughing like you never knew my name
Holding her like I was never something
While I'm here drowning in the waves
You turned our ending to a show for nothing
Parading all the pieces that you broke
Why you gotta be so cruel in public
While I still bleed where no one knows
[Verse 2]
You wear her perfume
I know that brand
She’s in my sweater
You’re holding her hand
We shared that sidewalk
Now it's your stage
You walk her through
What used to be our place
[Pre-Chorus]
You say you're healing
But you twist the knife
Every small update
Undoing my life
Is it her laughter
Or is it my cries
That keep you posting
Every single night
[Chorus]
Why you gotta be so cruel in public
Laughing like you never knew my name
Holding her like I was never something
While I'm here drowning in the waves
You turned our ending to a show for nothing
Parading all the pieces that you broke
Why you gotta be so cruel in public
While I still bleed where no one knows
[Bridge]
You get your closure from my silence (my silence)
You get your power from my pain (my pain)
But every tear is turning violent
I’m not the one who should feel shame
One day I’ll mute you like a bad song
One day your highlight reel goes dim
And when I finally stop remembering
That's the day you know I win (yeah)
[Chorus]
Why you gotta be so cruel in public
Laughing like you never knew my name
Holding her like I was never something
While I'm here drowning in the waves
You turned our ending to a show for nothing
Parading all the pieces that you broke
Why you gotta be so cruel in public
But this is the last time that I choke
[Outro]
Post what you want
Do what you do
I’m done letting you
Make me your proof
You showed the world
Who you became
I’ll show the world
How I heal my name
