I’m tired, yeah I’m tired of the act
How you want me soft while you snap back
Say I gotta play the woman right
But you been the one cryin’ every night
You cried to me before I ever broke
Held your weight while I bit my throat
Now you tell me, “Put your feet in my shoes”
No — you’d look better in mine, it’s true
Pre-Chorus
Sorry if that hurt your feelings
Not really, no, not this time
You talk about roles and healing
But you been crossing all my lines
Chorus
Let’s switch, I’ll take the beer, you take the wine
I’ll stay standing while you waste my time
I’ll pay the bill like I always do
Funny how strong looks weak on you
You’re not the man I thought you were
I see it clear, yeah, I’m sure
Say walk a mile, try my shoes
You wouldn’t last — you’d lose
Verse 2
You said, “Baby, can you spot me?” last week
Same old story, different receipt
I’m assuming you didn’t have it then
Funny how that happens again
Now you telling me how I should be
Soft-spoken, quiet, bite my teeth
But I been carrying us on my back
While you rehearsed how to clap back
Pre-Chorus
You love the comfort, hate the truth
Love my strength till it bruises you
Don’t ask me to shrink my spine
So you can feel like you shine
Chorus
Let’s switch, I’ll take the beer, you take the wine
I’ll stay solid, you cross the line
I’ll pay the bill, yeah, I already did
While you asking like a kid
You’re not the man I thought you were
Don’t fit the picture, don’t match your words
Say walk a mile, try my shoes
You wouldn’t last — you’d lose
Bridge (spoken / half-sung)
Be a good girl, that’s what you said
Go find a man — yeah, that hit my head
Funny thing is, I finally see
The man I needed wasn’t you, it’s me
Final Chorus
Let’s switch — nah, I’m done with that
I gave you grace, you gave me cracks
I paid the cost, I learned the truth
I don’t owe strength to you
You’re not the man I thought you were
I won’t pretend, I won’t rehearse
Walk your mile, I’ll choose my route
I tried your world — now I’m out
Outro
I’m tired…
But I’m free.
