Good Boy Gone Bad

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Used to say “yes Sir” Tie straight Hands clean Eyes down Used to take every hit Smile tight Tongue bit Back bowed You liked me on a short leash Pretty pet for your praise and your pride Fed me crumbs at the edge of your table Said “be grateful This is paradise” You drew all the borders in blood-red marker Called it “rules” Called it “love” You kept your halo sharp as a dagger Cut me quiet Cut me up [Pre-Chorus] You prayed over me Like I was your miracle You chained every need Called it being spiritual You blessed every bruise With a crocodile cry Now watch your favorite toy Finally come to life [Chorus] Good boy gone bad I’m off the leash Untrained Unapologetic Burning your throne Your crown looks so pathetic You made this monster Hope you’re proud of what you had Good boy gone Good boy gone bad Good boy gone bad No “please ” no “thanks ” I talk like a weapon Every “yes” I gave you now returns in venom You wanted pure Now choke on every piece you cracked Good boy gone Good boy gone bad [Verse 2] You loved me obedient Open hands Empty head Soft tone Taught me to be harmless Till I carved Every scar Into stone You said I was special Your holy exception Only if I played it safe Only if I bled in your favorite direction Dying slow In your name You dressed up control like a tender confession “You’re too fragile for the world outside” You locked every door then called it protection It was prison In disguise [Pre-Chorus] You fasted my heart Til it starved for approval You preached in my ear Every doubt as a gospel You broke every part Then swore you could fix it Now I’m the broken glass You taught to glisten [Chorus] Good boy gone bad I’m off the leash Untrained Unapologetic Burning your throne Your crown looks so pathetic You made this monster Hope you’re proud of what you had Good boy gone Good boy gone bad Good boy gone bad No “sorry” left My faith’s disintegrated Your sacred script? I’ve torn and desecrated You wanted pure Now drown inside the mess you planned Good boy gone Good boy gone bad [Bridge] Kiss the carcass of your favorite saint He doesn’t live here Doesn’t live here I’m the echo of the “no” I never said Ringing crystal clear Cutting crystal clear You kneel like I’m still your little salvation I smile while I crush your expectation [Beat drops Vocal doubled Whispered backing] I don’t forgive I don’t forget I don’t confess I don’t regret I wear my sins Like cigarette ash Blow in your face Then light the match [Chorus] Good boy gone bad I’m off the leash Untrained Unapologetic Burning your throne Your crown looks so pathetic You made this monster Hope you’re proud of what you had Good boy gone Good boy gone bad Good boy gone bad Your halo’s bent Your heaven overrated Every fragile idol smashed and pixelated You wanted pure I’m everything you said I can’t Good boy gone Good boy gone bad [Outro] Bow to your masterpiece Bleeding in black You raised an angel He never came back Good boy gone Good boy gone bad Good boy gone Good boy gone bad
