I wish I’d never shown you vindicated
Can’t scream it in the car anymore i hate it
A viscerality I never anticipated
Flashbacks to the way you manipulated
Constant seeking of my attention kept me insulated
Cherry papers flying should’ve indicated
Emotional terror would be unmitigated
Your painted world inside my head got integrated
The way you lit the gas it was sophisticated
All the while I longed for you to be rehabilitated
Further steps I take your voice has dissipated
Now you’re sliding in my dms to keep your ego stimulated
But now I’m reading your messages
And I’m feeling vindicated
Don’t show men your favorite songs
They won’t be your favorite after they’re gone
