[Verse 1]
I watched love switch sides
Same face, different knives
Friends gave me fake peace
Family fed thin lies
Lovers played mind games
Tried to make me fold
Put the mirror on me
When the truth got told
I was young, all heart
Now I read the room
Every smile got teeth
Every hug a tomb
[Pre-Chorus]
But I keep walking out
Through the smoke and spit
I been thrown in loops
Still I don't quit
If the world go crooked
I go straight through it
I was born in the mess
Now I move through it
[Chorus]
Why you do me like that?
Why you do me like that?
I'm a light in the dark
I'm a light in the dark
Break the curse on my name
Break the curse on my name
I won't stay in your maze
I won't stay in your maze
[Verse 2]
Triggered by a text
Triggered by a look
Triggered by the ghosts
In the family book
Everybody acting healed
While the wound stay hot
Everybody talking love
While the hand still plot
Upside down world
Got me spinning slow
Had to lose a few souls
Just to let me grow
I am not the pain
I am not the chain
I can taste the rain
And I still remain
[Pre-Chorus]
But I keep walking out
Through the smoke and spit
I been thrown in loops
Still I don't quit
If the world go crooked
I go straight through it
I was born in the mess
Now I move through it
[Chorus]
Why you do me like that?
Why you do me like that?
I'm a light in the dark
I'm a light in the dark
Break the curse on my name
Break the curse on my name
I won't stay in your maze
I won't stay in your maze
[Bridge]
They wanted me confused
Wanted me down bad
Wanted me in pieces
Wearing what they had
But I found my voice
In the wreck they made
Now I cut that line
With the truth I saved
Generational roots
I can feel them shake
Every lie they built
Starts to break, break, break
[Final Chorus]
Why you do me like that?
Why you do me like that?
I'm a light in the dark
I'm a light in the dark
Break the curse on my name
Break the curse on my name
I won't stay in your maze
I won't stay in your maze
(why you do me like that?)
(I'm a light in the dark)
