RIP

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Your hands should be covered in blood

By the way you ripped up my heart

It feels like I swallowed a blade

Every time I say, every time I say

Not an email, not a text, no phone

Nothing left, just me sitting in this bed alone

That's how we started unraveling

Boy, you stripped me to the bones

Something so small as

Picking up the phone may seem so small to you

Everything that's going through my head

Where he at, where he been, who he with

Why he ain't hit me yet

And then I start to

Is he having sex, is he using latex

And is he gonna bring something home to me

Fucking giving these bitches

I put on my red dress, I put on my black heels

I got two dozen roses in my arms

I got on my black shades to hide all of my tears

I gotta say goodbye to this love gone wrong

I think it's best that we lay this thing to rest

I think it's best that we lay this thing to rest

I think it's best that we lay this thing to rest

I think it's best, I think it's best

Not even karma is enough to get you back for what you did

It's like your love is poisoned and you've infected me

It's running up through my veins, back to my every day

I wish I had the power to erase your face from my brain

Something so small as

Picking up the phone may seem so small to you

Everything that's going through my head

Where he at, where he been, who he with

Why he ain't hit me yet

And then I start to

Is he having sex, is he using latex

And is he gonna bring something home to me

Fucking giving these bitches

I put on my red dress, I put on my black heels

I got two dozen roses in my arms

I got on my black shades to hide all of my tears

I gotta say goodbye to this love gone wrong

I think it's best that we lay this thing to rest

I think it's best that we lay this thing to rest

I think it's best that we lay this thing to rest

I think it's best, I think it's best

You come with me forever

You celebrated never

You would never turn your back on us

Now I wanna thank you

For forcing me to get through this

Didn't recognize my very own strength

Now I'm a stick out my chest and I'm a throw my head back

And I'm a put a smile on my face

I put on my red dress, I put on my black heels

I got two dozen roses in my arms

I got on my black shades to hide all of my tears

I gotta say goodbye to this love gone wrong

If I don't know what this is, look round

I'm gonna cover it up and put my head down

I'm gonna say my very last goodbye

I'm gonna wipe these tears for the very last time
