[Verse 1]

I hate the way you say my name

I really hate the way you shift the blame

Never take responsibility for anything and

Everything you ever done did kind of sucks

I don't really love when you come around and

I don't really care when you tell me about

Last week's encounter with some broad you just met

How you've never been in debt

I get it, you're better than me

This is not a diss but a statement

Telling you I'm not the one to play with

I pray to God for patience

He hits me with that basis

Saying "Don't you know that I love

Everything equally that I've been creating"

Life is a road of constant forgiveness

Living inside that bitterness

Will only make your joy fictitious

Find a new hobby and let it go

I love you more than you know

But you're starting to sound religious


[Chorus]

Tell me who am I kidding

I've been holding onto this hatred

God as my witness

I wish I'd give it up, let it go, and carry on

But Instead I chose to hang out

In a place I don't belong

Tell me how I've been living

I've been holding onto this hatred

God as my witness

I need to give it up, let it go, and carry on

But Instead I chose to stay

In a place I don't belong


[Hook]

I need to work on my forgiveness

God as my witness

I need to work on my forgiveness

Who am I kidding

I need to work on my forgiveness

God as my witness

I need to work on my forgiveness

Who am I kidding


[Verse 2]

You don't deserve respect

I wish you knew I'm not impressed

You tell me all these pointless things

Like I'm supposed to bow down

Like I should make you a king

You are everything that I aspire not to be

And though I try my best to love

You make it hard for me

We talk sometimes and I die inside

Because I really wish you weren't

The way that you are

This is not a diss but a statement

Telling you I'm not the one to play with

I pray to God for patience

He hits me with that basis

Saying "Don't you know that I love

Everything equally that I've been creating"

Life is a road of constant forgiveness

Living inside that bitterness

Will only make your joy fictitious

Find a new hobby and let it go

I love you more than you know

But you're starting to sound religious


[Chorus]

Tell me who am I kidding

I've been holding onto this hatred

God as my witness

I wish I'd give it up, let it go, and carry on

But Instead I chose to hang out

In a place I don't belong

Tell me how I've been living

I've been holding onto this hatred

God as my witness

I need to give it up, let it go, and carry on

But Instead I chose to stay

In a place I don't belong


[Hook]

I need to work on my forgiveness

God as my witness

I need to work on my forgiveness

Who am I kidding

I need to work on my forgiveness

God as my witness

I need to work on my forgiveness

Who am I kidding
