Dead Weight

[Verse 1]
You wore my trust like a disguise
Shook my hand while holdin’ knives
Said my name like we were good
Then dragged me through your neighborhood

You played the victim, played it clean
But I know exactly what you mean
Every story had a twist
Funny how the truth don’t fit

[Pre-Chorus]
I gave you real, you gave me games
Now I don’t even say your name

[Chorus]
You’re just dead weight, I cut you loose
No more lies I gotta excuse
You talk loud but you got no spine
All that fake shit don’t fly with mine

You can run, you can rewrite me
But you ain’t got no credibility
I was solid, you were pretend
Now you’re nothing, not even a friend

[Verse 2]
You built your image off my pain
Turned my loss into your gain
Climbed up using what I gave
Then acted like I should be saved

You love the drama, love the scene
But hate yourself in between
So you tear down anything real
Guess that’s just how you deal

[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t need to scream or fight
Cut you off and sleep just fine

[Chorus]
You’re just dead weight, I cut you loose
No more lies I gotta excuse
You talk loud but you got no spine
All that fake shit don’t fly with mine

You can run, you can rewrite me
But you ain’t got no credibility
I was solid, you were pretend
Now you’re nothing, not even a friend

[Bridge] (low, controlled, almost calm)
No revenge, I don’t chase
Your own truth will show your face
I don’t hate you, that’s too deep
You’re just someone I don’t keep

[Final Chorus] (controlled but final)
You’re just dead weight, I let you go
Now I see what I didn’t know
All that time, all that trust
Turned to nothing, turned to dust

You can talk, I don’t defend
I don’t care how this one ends
I was real ‘til the very end
You were never even a friend
