Pick one or the other ‘cause god knows you can’t have both
You’re a paper airplane with no direction
Staggering your breath so no one can see you sweat
Knowing at the surface you’re all talk
You’re only talk and I’m only a distraction
You’ll take any excuse to avoid self-reflection
And I may have no idea how I met you
But you have no right to believe I don’t see your bullshit
I know what I am; I’m just a replacement
For whatever convenience I wanted to stick around
But why am I the next name on your list?
Do you think that I just didn’t care?
You’re so simple minded, how can you be the judge?
Think you’re pulling the wool over
But don’t you know that everyone knows what a sleight of hand looks like?
Why would you be the exception?
Sex isn’t intimacy, sex is an action
Action means nothing if there’s nothing
But if being between a pair of legs is the only place you’re happy
Let your libido lead the way, but it doesn’t make you a victim
I know what I am; I’m just a replacement
For whatever convenience I wanted to stick around
But why do you think that you can just push me around?
Do you think that I just didn’t understand?
Don’t you know you’ve made an ass out of yourself?
I know what I am; I’m just a replacement
But you’re so repulsive; it’s about time this ends
And baby next time you better damn well watch your step
Do you think that I’m just stupid?
I know what I am; I’m just a replacement
But you’re so destructive; it’s about time this ends
And maybe next time I’ll think twice
When I pick my friends
