It’s The Way

[Verse 1]
Well, I look both ways when I cross the street
To make sure that you haven't found me
But if you showed up, I think I'd smash your teeth
For the effort you went to to find me

[Verse 2]
The shame I felt from the pain you caused
You promised you were my friend
You pulled me in with the tips of your claws
To play this game of pretend

[Chorus]
And I don't want to live in fear
But it's the way, it's the way, it's the way
If my word was valued like you said
Then how did you get into my head?
I'm just a child, no, I'm not done
Growin' with the voices hidin' in my ear drums

[Verse 3]
You called me saying, it's all your fault
That I've got blood on my wrists
You don't look your age, just don't tell no one
What I wish I could do to your lips

[Verse 4]
You took my love as a thing to exploit
You asked me if I would still fuck you
I shut down after I had cried
And to think that I ever missed you

[Chorus]
And I don't want to live in fear
But it's the way, it's the way, it's the way
If my word was valued like you said
Then how did you get into my head?
I'm just a child, no I'm not done
Growin' with the voices hidin' in my ear drums
