about

I originally wrote this song two years ago but was sidetracked with recording issues and other projects. Revisiting it years later, I wasn't happy with the lyrics anymore, so I rewrote a lot of them. Hopefully this one was worth the wait!

lyrics

You are the worst
A scheming snake
On masquerade as a good man
It really hurts
You crushed my faith
There’s nobody to believe in
Can’t trust myself
Because I fell for you
Nobody else
If a good man can fall, then anyone can too

You slithered into my life
Charmed with your conversation
Convinced me you’re Mr. Right
Hoodwinked me for the duration
You pretended to listen
You pretended to care
Then turned my words against me
When you had your affair

You squeezed the life out of me
Poisoned the trust within me
Rattled my faith in humanity
Told venomous lies to our friends
Turns out our life was pretend
Twisted our story to meet your ends

You are the worst
A scheming snake
On masquerade as a good man
It really hurts
You crushed my faith
There’s nobody to believe in
Can’t trust myself
Because I fell for you
Nobody else
If a good man can fall, then anyone can too

I tied the knot with a snake
I was a fool to believe you
Now off you undulate
To prey on somebody new
You’re a cold-blooded reptile
Off to follow your bliss
Yet crawling back ain’t your style
“I’m always right,” you hiss

And I doubt you see
All the misery
That your actions
Have left for me
I can only hope
That someday you both you know
Just a fraction
Of my suffering
Whoah-oh-oh-oh-oh

You squeezed the life out of me
Poisoned the trust within me
Rattled my faith in humanity
Told venomous lies to our friends
Turns out our life was pretend
Twisted our story to meet your ends

You are the worst
A scheming snake
On masquerade as a good man
It really hurts
You crushed my faith
There’s nobody to believe in
Can’t trust myself
Because I fell for you
Nobody else
If a good man can fall, then anyone can too
