[Verse 1]
It's never taking the fall when it's always my fault
Why's this happening to me? No one answers my calls
And I'm scraping my knees, bloody trails where I crawl
Nowhere feels like home
I keep telling myself it won't happen again
I'm surrounded by faces but can't find a friend
I keep dancing in flames, know how this story ends
And everybody knows
[Pre-Chorus]
Knife's out on my tongue, my words come out sticky
Lies sweet, honey, you're lucky you never meant that much to me
I'm the bitter taste in your mouth; truth is hard, so swallow me down
Stuck in your throat, you're gonna find pieces of me in your teeth
[Chorus]
Leave my body on the pavement
Grab what I can, so complacent
No need for this conversation
Wasn't looking for salvation
Hear them beg for my replacement
Don't you know I'm not mistaken?
Try to bring me down, I'll drown you out
I control my reputation
[Verse 2]
I'll make you fall in love, then I'll leave you for dead
Oh I'm just having fun when I toy with your head
It feels so familiar, my heel on your neck
No one hears you scream
I keep hearing these voices, they tell me I'm right
Catch a glimpse in the mirror, there's a glint in my eyes
Yeah I'm battered, but you should see the other guy!
I never fight fair, hope you said your prayers
[Pre-Chorus]
Knife's out on my tongue, my words come out sticky
Lies sweet, honey, you're lucky you never meant that much to me
I'm the bitter taste in your mouth; truth is hard, so swallow me down
Stuck in your throat, you're gonna find pieces of me in your teeth
[Chorus]
Leave my body on the pavement
Grab what I can, so complacent
No need for this conversation
Wasn't looking for salvation
Hear them beg for my replacement
Don't you know I'm not mistaken?
Try to bring me down, I'll drown you out
I control my reputation
[Bridge]
I'm the fuel to every fire, yeah
Don't you know thats what I need to get higher, higher?
Higher, higher
I'm the fuel to every fire
Don't you know thats what I need to get higher
[Chorus]
Leave my body on the pavement
Grab what I can, so complacent
No need for this conversation
Wasn't looking for salvation
Hear them beg for my replacement
Don't you know I'm not mistaken?
Try to bring me down, I'll drown you out
I control my reputation
