listen, I know you must be mad, look how you lost it
you should work it out with me though, I’m the one who caused it
I should’ve cleaned the skeletons from my closet
driving to my apocalypse with 400 horses
drop dead gorgeous – unfair advantage
you deserve an Emmy award for all your antics
caught up in a battle of curse-word semantics
trying to find our way back home from Atlantis
you had your father call me – zero empathy
reading about your new first date like it’s meant for me
trying to stay focused on winning – yeah, hold my course
meanwhile you infiltrated my heart – a Trojan horse
they say in love and war – all’s fair
but when you break up and go out – yeah, they all stare
obfuscating the real reason we’ve grown apart
you played the victim so well – Joan of Arc
