Verse 1:
You've been hurt before
Left in pieces on the floor
I get you I really do, trust me
Ostracized criticized
Always taken down a size
It justifies why you're so goddamn mean
Pre-Chorus 1:
You've cast yourself as the hero
You think you're quite the complex man
Anybody listened to your story
You're sure they'd understand
Chorus 1:
This ain't no movie
Mr. Dark and Brooding
No I don't have to stay
The way you've been behaving
Condescending always shaming
So quick to place the blame and
Yes I'm sure you could explain it all away
But I don't care if you’re always picked last
I don't care about your tragic past
If you're gonna' be an ass to me
I'm out
Verse 2:
Oh I know
You've said it five times in a row
I need to treat you with some compassion
You're daddy doesn't get you
You're girlfriend went and left you
How dare I call you out on your actions
Pre-Chorus 2:
Can't you see the irony
In the way that you're treating me
Of course not because
You can do no wrong
You've cast yourself as the hero
You’ve developed quite the complex man
If I cared enough to learn your story
You're sure I'd understand but
Chorus 2:
This ain't no movie
Mr. Dark and Brooding
No I don't have to stay
The way you've been behaving
Condescending always shaming
So quick to place the blame and
Yes I'm sure you could explain it all away
But I don't care if your ego got kicked
I don't care if you need your wounds licked
If you're gonna' be a dick to me
I'm out
Bridge:
I'm sure you'll find a place for me
In your tragic backstory
I abandoned you I left you on your own
So if others choose my way
And you decide to make them pay
Well obviously I'm the one at fault
Chorus 3:
This ain't no movie
Mr. Dark and Brooding
No I don't have to stay
The way you've been behaving
Condescending always shaming
So quick to place the blame and
Yes I think I can explain it
Don’t need more time to contemplate it
You’re ugly on the inside and you’re
Never gonna' change it so
I'm out
