[Verse 1]
You said you were stuck in class
But your phone lit up too fast
Saw my name in your backseat glass
Like I was the joke you passed
I dropped out, still showed up
Worked that morning, ran on luck
You wore lies like they were love
Then you kissed and called it enough
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I’m staring at the proof
In the crumbs on your excuse
Little signs I tried to miss
Now they’re loud in everything you did
[Chorus]
You cheated, baby
You cheated on me
(You cheated on me)
I was broke and trying
You were out there lying
You cheated, baby
You cheated on me
(You cheated on me)
High school drop, still standing
While you’re the one who's sinking
[Verse 2]
I used to hide my old backpack
By the door when you came back
Now it’s sitting in the hall
Like a trophy from the fall
Everybody said you’d change
You still wore that same cheap game
New excuses, same old name
And I’m too done to be ashamed
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I’m done with your “my bad”
Done with every little drag
Every promise full of holes
Every “trust me” you still stole
[Chorus]
You cheated, baby
You cheated on me
(You cheated on me)
I was broke and trying
You were out there lying
You cheated, baby
You cheated on me
(You cheated on me)
High school drop, still standing
While you’re the one who's sinking
[Bridge]
I may not have that diploma
But I know a fake from miles away
You can keep that pretty smile
It don’t cover what you say
I walked out with my head high
Left your name by the curb
You can call me a dropout
I call it learning what I deserve
[Final Chorus]
You cheated, baby
You cheated on me
(You cheated on me)
I was broke and trying
You were out there lying
You cheated, baby
You cheated on me
(You cheated on me)
High school drop, still standing
And I’m finally free
You cheated, baby
You cheated on me
(You cheated on me)
Yeah, I lost that classroom
But I kept my self-respect too
