Verse 1] Seven days of butterflies, I was sold on the glow But you were just a shadow putting on a show You invited me into your bed over the phone Then kept me in the kitchen so you wouldn't feel alone You used my attention to kill off your spark Then went back to the one you lay with in the dark. [Pre-Chorus] It’s sickening to see it, the game that you played The "new face" distraction, the traps that you laid You wanted a release, I wanted the truth But you’re just a coward hiding under your roof. [Chorus] I’m done being the permitted girl, restricted to the hall I’m done being the safety net that catches every fall Just know I’ll never be by your side, don't even try You can’t build a kingdom on a "working it out" lie I’m a genuine fire, a one-of-a-piece mind And I don’t stand by any fake of any kind. [Verse 2] You’re "working it out" while you’re out looking for more Checking for exits while you’re closing the door Was it easy to look at me, fake a connection? While you were just using me for a temporary reflection? You think I’m just stupid, you think I don’t see That you’re half the man you pretended to be. [Bridge] (Music swells—drums get loud and heavy) I don’t do "permitted." I don’t do "parts." I don’t do the "maybe" in your hollowed-out heart. You laid by her side while you whispered to me Now you can lay in the bed of the man you chose to be. [Chorus] I’m done being the permitted girl, restricted to the hall I’m done being the safety net that catches every fall Just know I’ll never be by your side, don't even try You can’t build a kingdom on a "working it out" lie I’m a genuine fire, a one-of-a-piece mind And I don’t stand by any fake of any kind. [Outro] No, I don't stand by the fake. Not your "release," not your mistake. I'm gone. (Fade out with a heavy electric guitar growl)
