Lyrics

I wanna be the victim
The aggressor
And the respite
And the stressor
And the worst one
Then the better
I might as well be alone forever
Right around this time last week's when I found out
I never could write love songs
And now I know why it felt wrong
And I'm having trouble being fair in my account
I'm biased
I'm violent
I can't do nice, I've tried it
That's all the information, tell me how I should be
'Cause I need good communication even as my heart bleeds
I-I was on my best behavior
Took all of my needs and I saved 'em for later
And there you go again looking for a new savior
But I'm good by myself, 'cause baby, that's my nature
Looking for new saviors
Tell me, baby, are there any takers?
I didn't think so
I know I struggle taking people at their word
Too guarded, suspicious, or am I just realistic?
Some days are better, but I still expect the worst
And that's no way to live (that's no way to live)
Maybe I'll be fine
Hah, maybe I'll just fall in love out of spite
I-I was on my best behavior (my best behavior)
Took all of my needs and I saved 'em for later
You're probably already onto your next savior
But I'm good by myself, 'cause baby, that's my nature
You've no idea how hard I tried to be someone you liked
If I made it look easy, I guess I'm doing it right
You've no idea how hard I tried to be someone you liked
If I made it look easy, I guess I'm doing it right
You've no idea how hard I tried to be someone you liked
You've no idea of the work
There's things I never said
'Cause I didn't wanna hurt you
I just keep them in my head
'Cause, usually, it's not worth it, worth it
Are you worth it, worth it?
I wanna be the victim
The aggressor
And the respite
And the stressor
And the worst one
Then the better
I guess it's me and myself forever
I wanna be the victim
The aggressor
And the respite
And the stressor
And the worst one
Then the better
