[Verse 1]

I'm stupid and confused

My ego's raw and bruised

Your words were weapons and

They tore me down again

Replay our conversation

You threw your accusations

I'm always so complacent

I never change the station


[Pre-Chorus]

Help me find a sharper knife

I need to cut you out my life

I take it all; I let it slide

But hey, you went too far this time


[Chorus]

Congratulations, got what you wanted

You're winning now

Congratulations, you got your shot in

You wore me down

And I really don't think you get it now

No, I really don't think you get it now

It's killing me, I admit it now

Congratulations, you tore my heart out

Congratulations


[Verse 2]

It must feel good digested

To be so damn aggressive

But the pounding in my chest is

Begging for protection

You think you're innocent

Pure gold and heaven-sent, but

My tears are instruments and

They sound like consequences


[Pre-Chorus]

Help me find a sharper knife

I need to cut you out my life

I take it all; I let it slide

But hey, you went too far this time


[Chorus]

Congratulations, got what you wanted

You're winning now

Congratulations, you got your shot in

You wore me down

And I really don't think you get it now

No, I really don't think you get it now

It's killing me, I admit it now

Congratulations, you tore my heart out

Congratulations


[Bridge]

Save me from myself, 'cause I

Need somebody's help

Yeah, I dig the deepest wells

And I get lost

You, you got it all, I guess

And me, I'll take the fall for this

Oh, oh, whoa


[Pre-Chorus]

Help me find a sharper knife

I need to cut you out my life

I take it all; I let it slide

But hey, you went too far this time


[Chorus]

Congratulations, got what you wanted

You're winning now

Congratulations, you got your shot in

You wore me down

And I really don't think you get it now

No, I really don't think you get it now

It's killing me, I admit it now

Congratulations, you tore my heart out

Congratulations (Congratulations)
