Vinegar in My Mouth

Paroles

[Verse 1] Have you ever been hit, pushed out, protested? Yeah, I was little, and I trusted Thought you were friends, thought you stood beside me You numbed the hurt, then turned and cut behind me Smiling while you planned it, smiling through the lie I saw the blade too late; I still ask myself why [Pre-Chorus] I thought you were my people I thought you had my back You only wanted pieces You could use to pull me back [Chorus] You were never my friend You just wanted me down Vinegar in my mouth Every word tasted foul Tell me, why are you jealous of me? What did I do that you couldn't let be? You were never my friend Now I see you clearly [Verse 2] You menace, I hate what you chose to become I hope all that cruelty comes back when you're done Selfish little snake, you slithered through the crowd Then acted surprised when I said it out loud I carried your secrets, you sharpened your grin You called it a joke while you marked up my skin [Pre-Chorus] I thought you were my people I thought you had my back You only wanted pieces You could use to pull me back [Chorus] You were never my friend You just wanted me down Vinegar in my mouth Every word tasted foul Tell me, why are you jealous of me? What did I do that you couldn't let be? You were never my friend Now I see you clearly [Bridge] I was a kid, I believed what you said I carried your poison around in my head But I won't wear your shame like a name on my sleeve You don't get to decide what I get to believe [Final Chorus] You were never my friend You just wanted me down Vinegar in my mouth But I spit it out now Tell me, why are you jealous of me? I won't be the person you wanted me to be You were never my friend Now I see you clearly [Outro] I see you clearly I see you clearly
