[Verse 1]
Seventeen
Cheap dye in my hair
You were thirty-six
Red lipstick
Blank stare
Kitchen full of bottles
Ash in the sink
You said
“Baby
Don’t think
Just drink”
[Chorus]
Raggedy witch
Kellye
I can’t stand you
You robbed my youth
Tried to wear it like a new suit
You were broke and bougie
I was just a kid
You used my body to forget the things you did (oh)
Raggedy witch
Kellye
I can’t stand you
But I’m done bein’ haunted by you
[Verse 2]
Your friends called you “baby
” called me “girl”
You laughed it off
Said
“Welcome to the world”
You slurred some promise you’d “take care of me”
Funny how that sounded just like slavery
[Chorus]
Raggedy witch
Kellye
I can’t stand you
You robbed my youth
Tried to wear it like a new suit
You were broke and bougie
I was just a kid
You used my body to forget the things you did (hey)
Raggedy witch
Kellye
I can’t stand you
But I’m done bein’ haunted by you
[Bridge]
I was not your mirror
Not your mother
Not your cure
You can drown in your liquor
I walked out
I found the door (oh yeah)
[Chorus]
Raggedy witch
Kellye
I outgrew you
Took back my name
Took back what I’d lose
You were broke and bougie
I was just a kid
Now every scar you gave me’s how I live
Raggedy witch
Kellye
I outgrew you
And this blues is the last thing I’ll give you
