Been one year since I've seen you

Been four months since we talked

Been so long, but who's counting?

I swear I wasn't looking at the clock

I'm not really punctual

So it's possible these digital displays are dysfunctional

Remember when you drove up on my block

Blasting The Killers right from your mom's minivan?

When we were young was when we had the future balled in our hands

When they handed me your Valentine's Day grams in second period

A myriad of stupid souvenirs that I hold dear a lot

That Spanish Google-translated card sits in my drawer folded

Least I threw away the bracelet that you molded

I still have Benihana's pics, American Dream golden

Family, white, well-off, picture-perfect, mom, dad, two kids, boy, girl

Vote Trump, tout the Second Amendment

Who was I kidding thinking I could amend it?

Thinking I was good enough for rules to stay bended

Thought I would be someone you would be proud of if it ended

Found out I was villainized by lies you claim unintended

This whole time I trusted you, you resented

Told you I'm not punctual, so I will be late to healing

But the damage? (But the damage?) It's major structural

Abuse each other, we just use each other

Abuse each other, we just use each other

Abuse each other, we just use each other

Abuse each other

Abuse each other, we just use each other

Abuse each other, we just use each other

Abuse each other, we just use each other

Abuse each other

I don't regret a thing anymore, yeah I used to

On some "thank you, next" shit I'm not used to

If we'd met years later in a café

I'd buy you sixteen fluid ounces

That's a grande

If I'd met you later, maybe we'd have stayed together

Nope, nope, nope, nope, and that's better

We were too toxic, too high to come down

Our heads in false love

Ignoring our hearts

Talking falsetto sounds

We found strength

Moved on to better finds

What's left?

Memory VHS tape rewinds?

Desire like a streetcar

Had my list of Beckies on the side

But in my heart I never lied

Thought myself an honest martyr

When really I was Lemonade Mr. Carter

It don't matter 'cuz those times I wouldn't barter

Hope we're both trying harder

XO, farewell, hope you drink enough water (water)

What? It's good for your skin

And your one kidney!

It took me years to get this song off my chest

It's like I finally, it's like I finally forever laid the past to rest

It took me years to get this song off my chest

It's like I finally forever laid the past to rest

It took me years to get this song off my chest

It's like I finally forever laid the past to rest

It took me years to get this song off my chest

It's like I finally forever laid the past to rest

Laid the past to rest

Abuse each other, we just use each other

Abuse each other, we just use each other

Abuse each other, we just use each other

Abuse each other
