Changed the Game

[Verse 1] You had your lines rehearsed already A scene you'd run before "You're stronger than you think" While you headed for the door Don't tell me "no hard feelings" While you walk out with my years Don't call this being gentle When you dodge the truth I feel [Verse 2] Don't leave me on your back burner Like someday we'll just pretend You don't get to break my heart And still audition for my friend You wrapped goodbye in gentle words As if kindness made it fair But sugar doesn't change the fact You left me standing there [Pre-chorus] "It's not you, it's me" Yeah, that made it clear [Chorus] So I flipped the script Yeah I changed the game Don't rewrite the story Just to dodge the blame I flipped the script I'm done playing your game You don't get to leave And edit who I became [Verse 3] You handed me a script But I never learned the lines You thought you'd write the ending While I played along just fine But I tore the pages up Let the whole thing fall apart You don't get to leave the stage And still rewrite my part [Bridge] "No hard feelings" Nice disguise For walking out with practiced lines "It's not you" A tired, old refrain Yeah, funny how that shifts the blame [Final Chorus] Yeah I flipped the script Yeah I changed the game Don't rewrite the story Just to dodge the blame Yeah I flipped the script I'm done playing your game You don't get to leave And edit who I became You tried to rig the ending, but I changed the game
