Bravado

Lyrics

Verse 1)
Must be easy, looking down on me,
I’m the first to admit—I’m not perfect, you see.
But being flawed doesn’t make you right,
I don’t deserve your disrespect tonight.

I’m the truth to your lies, the thorn in your side,
And every excuse that you hide behind,
It’s clear to me now, I’m not fooled by disguise—
I see through the mask, the hate in your eyes.

(Pre-Chorus)
Have you heard yourself, all your justifications?
Twisting the wrong into a sweet sensation.
You’d make betrayal sound romantic if you could—
Even justify cheating like it’s something good.

(Chorus)
I’m not here to fix you; you’re not my fight.
No more reconciling, you shut that door tight.
Before you twist me into something I’m not,
I’ll walk away respectfully, take my final shot.

Hell, we’re no family—you’ve made that clear.
And I’ve had my fill of this nightmare here.

(Verse 2)
You hate me for feeling, for being real,
For standing up to what you conceal.
They say it’s all about control, and it’s true—
You bait me to react, to play the fool.

Isolate me, call me insane,
But I won’t dance in your twisted game.
Gaslighting doesn’t work on me,
I’ve seen enough—I’m finally free.

(Bridge)
Tell me, when’s the last time you apologized?
When did you own up, look me in the eyes?
You’re no victim, though you play it well—
One day, this story will be comedy gold to tell.

Triangulate, manipulate, everyone’s on standby—
But accountability? Not a chance, you fly by.

(Chorus)
I’m not here to fix you; you’re not my fight.
No more reconciling, you shut that door tight.
Before you twist me into something I’m not,
I’ll walk away respectfully, take my final shot.

Hell, we’re no family—you’ve made that clear.
And I’ve had my fill of this nightmare here.

(Outro)
I won’t waste my time, you don’t even care,
There’s no use in feelings that lead nowhere.
Funny how I’m the one with integrity—
While you dodge mirrors, unable to see.

Don’t be offended, just keeping it real.
This is my truth, this is my deal.
