your benefit

You tell your friends I treated you like shit
Like I was cold every damn night.
Funny how your version leaves out
Every time you crossed the line.
You paint me as the jealous one,
The girl who couldn't let things be.
Guess it's easier to point at me
Then look at what you did to me.

You swore at me through glowing screens,
Never had the confidence to say it to my face
Like respect was too much to give.
Now somehow I'm the villain here?

Your ego's louder than your heart,
It tears the story right apart.
You'd rather save your own reflection
Than lose your perfect reputation.
It's all for your benefit,
You rewrite every little bit.
You broke my heart, then took my spark
Just so you didn't have to take the blame.
You couldn't stand to bruise your pride,
So you turned me into the bad guy.
Now everybody thinks you barely survived,
When I was the one left wondering why.
You don't tell the truth 'cause it won't fit,
It's all for your benefit.

Maybe if you told it straight,
You'd have to sit with your mistakes.
Maybe that's the part you fear,
That people'd see what happened here.
So keep your story, keep your script,
Keep every lie that makes you fit.
But one day you'll hear silence hit,
And know exactly what you did.

You swore at me through glowing screens,
Never had the confidence to say it to my face
Like respect was too much to give.
Now somehow I'm the villain here?

It's all for your benefit,
You are just like counterfeit.
You traded honesty for sympathy,
And called that dignity.
You saved your ego, lost my trust,
Turned our love into your cover up.
I won't spend forever proving it,
The people who know me already get it.
It's all for your benefit,
Your benefit, your benefit.
Your benefit, your benefit
Twist the story, make it fit,
For your benefit.
Everybody buys your script,
Buys your script, buys your script.
But you can't outrun what you did,
No, you can't outrun what you did.

It's all for your benefit,
You rewrite every little bit.
You broke my heart, then took my spark
Just so you didn't have to take the blame.
You couldn't stand to bruise your pride,
So you turned me into the bad guy.
Now everybody thinks you barely survived,
When I was the one left wondering why.
You don't tell the truth 'cause it won't fit,
It's all for your benefit.

You can keep your version of how it went
Mine doesn't change to protect your confidence.
It's all for your benefit
But I'm so done paying for it.
