Six by Eight

(Verse 1)

You brought out the worst of me, now the devil’s laughing in my face,

But you should’ve been the one in my damn place.

They took me away in cuffs and chains,

Like I’m the only one to blame.

Every lie you whispered, every scar you made,

Now I’m the broken mess you fucking shaped.

You twisted truth till I lost my name,

And left me drowning in your shame.

(Pre-Chorus)

You swear your hands are clean tonight,

Like you didn’t shove me past that line.

You played the saint, you wore that crown,

While I was bleeding on the ground.

(Chorus)

Now I’m screaming from a six-by-eight,

With bloodshot eyes and a heart full of hate.

You wrote the story, I took the fall,

Now my name’s the one they drag through it all.

You turned my love into your sick game,

Crossed that line then called me insane.

If I’m condemned for what I became,

You’re the reason I’m this fucked-up way.

(Verse 2)

You fed me poison dressed as trust,

Sold me forever then let it rust.

Every promise just another lie,

Every truth you let me deny.

You pushed and pushed till something snapped,

Then stood back quiet at the aftermath.

Now I’m the headline, I’m the disgrace,

While you act like you’ve got nothing to face.

(Pre-Chorus 2)

You hide behind your alibi,

While I’m the one doing time.

You get to sleep just fine at night,

I replay that shit every time I close my eyes.

(Chorus)

Now I’m screaming from a six-by-eight,

With bloodshot eyes and a heart full of hate.

You wrote the story, I took the fall,

Now my name’s the one they drag through it all.

You turned my love into your sick game,

Crossed that line then called me insane.

If I’m condemned for what I became,

You’re the reason I’m this fucked-up way.

(Guitar solo)

(Bridge – Emotional Breakdown)

I never wanted this fucked-up end,

Never wanted to break or bend.

You tore me down piece by piece,

Till there was nothing left of me.

And now I sit here wearing chains,

For all your selfish, twisted games.

(Chorus)

Now I’m screaming from a six-by-eight,

With bloodshot eyes and a heart full of hate.

You wrote the story, I took the fall,

Now my name’s the one they drag through it all.

You turned my love into your sick game,

Crossed that line then called me insane.

If I’m condemned for what I became,

You’re the reason I’m this fucked-up way.

Now I’m screaming from a six-by-eight,

Still paying for your mistakes.

You lit the match and walked away,

Left me burning in your flames.

If I’m the villain in this crime,

You were the poison in my mind.

I lost myself just to make you stay,

Now I’m the one who fucking pays.
