Shot in the Dark

Leaving never hurt this much before Staying never came with this much (blood) Believing never worked like this before I guess I never believed in you enough Holding the hands of my enemies Forehead to forehead synergy You should be ashamed of what you're proud of Give it time, I, I'll be fine I'm used to packing up my heart It's held together by bandages, bandages Don't let the bandits in Bandits in Seven years of wasted tears, love Always had the tendency to try Then give up Abandoning, abandoning All of the damages, damages But... The moment I met you was the moment it ended for us I would fight for myself and it would kick up the dust Did you think I wouldn't see the war paint in your smile lines? I remember thinking, "You're addicted to crossing the line" So, since you're gonna play this game, I'm gonna play it better Tattoo your name beneath the skin Then talk about the weather Flattery draws 'em to the flame Under oath and underage Don't think a prison could contain her You thought you had me But I'm not desensitized Ruffled some feathers So you sat me down and just lied Don't think you ever even really apologized 'Cause some people took your side I bet that fed your pride Don't sweat, I'm not stepping foot on this battle ground again Shot in the dark to the back Why would I trust it? The ashes falling were mistaken for snow But in Retrospect, I think you might've known We'll call it "my fault" that you don't know right from wrong It's "my fault" that you never asked I stood on the side Catchlight in my eyes Of my innocence getting twisted and monetized The whole world shattered on 9/23 (So since you're gonna play this game, I'm gonna play it better) Lime green with envy From the moment you met me (Always had the tendency to try, then give up) I saw this coming Paid the price and in the process (Some people took your side, I bet that fed your pride) Lost all defenses I tried to fight it (I guess I never believed in you enough) You tried to hide it Oh, the drama you stirred up lives and dies with me (Lime green with envy) Oh, but the trauma you inflicted– I'll tell the whole story (I saw this coming) The flicker in your eyes had to die sometime And I think it's gonna die tonight 'Cause I'm finally projecting Finally projecting your scandals in direct limelight
