Unreliable witness,

these bitches figured it out

Your plan was their service

What are you gonna do now?

I’m surprised you’re nervous

You work so hard to be cruel

Guess it’s none of my business

What they think of you

You twist your knives

And it ain’t right

With the heart and head

If the social ladder’s

All that matters

You won’t make friends

You won’t keep friends

We won’t be friends

Just another narcissist

Will ego tire you out?

Echoism my purpose

What should I have to be now?

I’m surprised it’s worth it

Working so hard to be cool

To always be complicit

In what you say is true

You wield your lies

And it ain’t right

With the heart and head

If the social ladder’s

All that matters

You won’t make friends

You won’t keep friends

We won’t be friends

And I know this is my part

That I let you in my head

And I bet you won’t regret

‘Much as I can remember

And I know this is my fault

That I let you in my heart

And I bet you won’t regret

‘Much as I can remember

I was lonely, you were amped

Thought what we wanted was a little more than friendship

Did you care when you wrote me off?

Made me crazy to be wrong

One plus one can’t have a middle

Go ahead, say again, how I’m better off

I learned to sing through the quiet

Lucky to feel safe in the dark

Everything burned but there was an order

To be being pulled from the wreckage and to want back in

There was chaos, we stayed home

And took comfort in the little

Heard you when, you said again, that you’re still the boss

Be our savior, you’re the man

Play both ends against the middle

Break the curse, bet on loss, never live the cost

We learned to sing through the quiet

Lucky, for now, to feel safe in the dark

Everything burns but we found the order

You get pulled from the wreckage, then you want back in

Get pulled from the wreckage but you want back in

I’ve been thinking about what counts as truth

And it’s a shame where logic will lead me to

Thinking if I try, you’ll come through

But we both know that’s not like you

I would like a reckoning

How is it you lie and I pretend?

Let us solve the mystery

How a love like ours could find an end

Let me hear your reasoning

Come on, help me try to understand

Why you cause me misery

Was the ending all that you had planned?

What you’ve been thinking about is there to see

Convince me that the problem is all me

How is this all you’ll ever be?

Why is it so hard to break free?

I would like a reckoning

How is it you lie and I pretend?

Let us solve the mystery

How a love like ours could find an end

Let me hear your reasoning

Come on, help me try to understand

Why you cause me misery

Was the ending all that you had planned?
