Me

Yeah, the child in the mirror was homely So he learned early on how to switch into low-key Little person, observant and accurate Grew the skills to argue and the passion to back it with Kick over the blocks just to rebuild them 'Cause mom and pop used to pop, sound familiar? Daddy had to leave, but Mama kept hurting So we stepped up to help be an anger and a burden And right around the same time Started noticing girls, but they wouldn't pay him any mind And if they ever did, he got nervous You should of seen him practice on his hand for his first kiss Even though he was too young to hunt and gather Hungry puppy had to learn how to front and swagger It didn't matter, it was all self-esteem At 16, you only needed one on your team And mom and dad was never getting back together So he was on some "Baby, we gonna make it last forever" Basically married right out of high school Five years of getting high and fighting at a drive-thru And when he hit 21, they made a son But on his 22nd birthday, the relationship was done Now he's got a best friend instead of a wife But he feels like he stole the best years of her life After that, it was one co-dependant to the next A lot of love, a lot of hate and a little bit of great sex Self-learning in between the self-loathing Strangled in a cycle, can't feel yourself choking Some of them would overlap, some of them would double-back None of them deserved to be exposed to all the trouble that he posed Strike one? Not even out of fear He don't even do rough sex, you bite him and he's out of here Make no mistake he puts the man in manipulate And he's attracted to the women that reciprocate Y'all can kick karma 'till it's getting late Until Mama's little drama is the topic of the big debate And now a days the confidence is off the page 'Cause women are attracted to that clown on the stage He's only in town for a handful of hours But Repunzel want to come down and dance in the flowers Want to make a smile? want to make a laugh? Want to make up for the mistakes in the past? Want to act like he doesn't know better If payback's a bitch he'll be in debt forever Insecure, impatient Temporary gratification, self-validation That's what its made of it's all true And it's the only reason that he's even talking to you (Chorus x2) You can try to fix my broken wings You can know all the words to the songs I sing But you don't need to know what's wrong with me Unless you think you're gonna come home with me (Chorus x2)
