[Verse 1]
You walk in like you own the room
Eyes up
Chin high
Brand new costume
Talk loud
Talk down
Every word so sharp
But you’re glass on the ground
Just a cracked-up heart
[Pre-Chorus]
Whispers follow every step you take
You keep asking why the people fade
Pointing fingers
But it’s all the same
You light the match
Then run from the flame
[Chorus]
You’re the problem
Not us
You’re the storm
We’re the flood
You start the fire
Call it love
Then blame the smoke on everyone
You’re the problem
Not us (not us)
You’re the problem
Not us (yeah)
Used to be the golden one
Now you’re just the bitter one
You’re the problem
Not us
[Verse 2]
Two-face smile with a sugar tongue
Hug tight
Twist knives when the song’s sung
You act high like we’re all below
But your throne’s just stacked-up egos
[Pre-Chorus]
You keep crying that you’re so attacked
But every scar
Yeah
You carved that path
Play the victim in a crooked play
Then ask why we’re walking away
[Chorus]
You’re the problem
Not us
You’re the storm
We’re the flood
You start the fire
Call it love
Then blame the smoke on everyone
You’re the problem
Not us (not us)
You’re the problem
Not us (hey)
Hated now by everyone
Still you say we’re out of touch
You’re the problem
Not us
[Bridge]
It’s never you
It’s always “they”
Same old script
New names each day
How many friends gotta turn to dust
Before you see it’s you
Not us? (yeah)
[Chorus]
You’re the problem
Not us
You’re the storm
We’re the flood
You start the fire
Call it love
Then blame the smoke on everyone
You’re the problem
Not us (not us)
You’re the problem
Not us
Say we changed
You call it fake
But we just learned to walk away
You’re the problem
Not us
