Stop Playing Victim
Tom The Mail Man Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You love to think you make me hurt
You loving my attention
You always say to put you first
And if I did that, I would be so fucked up way down in a bad place
And if I did that, I would be so fucked up way down in a bad place
You play with guys, you're a dick for fun
This shit here gets your rocks up
But Iβ²ma be the one to kill your fun
Said, "If did that, I would be so fucked up way down in a bad place"
Said, "If did that, I would be so fucked up way down in a bad place"
I had sex in the backseat of your brand-new car
I just text your best friend said I went too far
I guess I'm just a bad guy
You fuck with me, I'm tearing you apart
Itβ²s not a game, itβ²s serious
You told the girls you're furious
And that youβ²re so damn hurt, you might burst into bits
And I said, "Bitch, quit it"
(And I said, "Bitch, quit it")
Hate you so much
You're not the one whoβ²s hurt here
Hate you so much
You run and hide behind your walls
Hate you so much
You're just a goddamn liar
Hate you so much
