| I Thought You Knew Lemme get this right... You want me to tell her About how cool you're supposed to be. You want me to tell her You're so sweet and special... Yesterday you don't know me; Today I'm telling her something about you. Well bruh, lemme tell you something about you. You are just like most of these fools; No different than the average jerk. Yeah bruh, I said it. You are just like most of these fools; No different thank the average jerk. And the first thing you say Is that I'm still mad at you and I haven't let it go. You get kicked around for as long as you can remember You just escape an abusive relationship To hear your so-called "friend" tell you you're so repulsive And that things will never change Just like your ex Just like most people have told you for the past two decades You get told that who you are means nothing You get stomped on during Easter Sunday You go through the hurt I've been put through And let's see you let it go. The other day I sucked Yesterday I was cool Today I suck yet again But I'm cool enough to tell her you rule. You say you're my friend and I can confide in you. Bruh you don't even know me. You never wanted to. Seeing me was enough for me to lose all humanity in your eyes. I remember telling you 4 months ago I felt invisible to you. 4 months later I'm still a ghost. These days, we're supposed to be friends. Your legs function properly Your fingers still wriggle So why do you stay a stranger? Next year I'll be sure to run into you... While you're on your way to visit her. You know she'll live in my building. I guess it'll never matter all that much. You say I'm so repulsive But you don't know me. You say things will never change But you don't know me. So much finality concerning how you see me; You never opened your heart and mind To look past what your eyes could see. I guess it'll never matter all that much. You really want me to tell her. You want me to tell her about you. But Bruh, I thought you knew. |
