I
saw the group chat screenshots last night
Your best friend posted finally free from that guy
Heart emoji champagne,
he was toxic all along I read it three
times just to make sure I was wrong
But there I was painting crazy,
controlling cold While I still have the
voicemails of me begging you don't go
On my knees in the hallway crying into your shirt
You said I need space and I thought I was the hurt
You rewrote the credits before the movie even ended
Made me the monster so nobody asked what you intended
You told him I was the problem while
I was still bleeding on the floor
Told him I broke you,
I trapped you,
I smothered you When I was the one begging for one second more
You turned my please stay into he wouldn't let me leave
Made my love sound like chains so your friends would believe
I guess it's easier to walk when the one left behind
Is the villain in every story you leave behind
Mutual friends stopped looking me in the eye
They heard I screamed, I stopped, I made you cry
Funny,
I never raised my voice once in two years Only whispered
I'm sorry through two thousand tears You posted that quote
about healing from people who never cared While I still
sleep in the hoodie you left here I became the cautionary
tale at every table The run the second he says forever,
fable You needed a reason that didn't sound like
you just got bored So you handed me the note
You
told him I was the problem so you could feel clean when you left
Told him I ruined you,
drained you,
destroyed you While I was counting the days since you
took your last breath And there's a prominent misprint in my arms
You turned my heartbreak into your redemption arc
I hope the new version keeps you warm at night
The one where I'm the storm and you're the light
I almost commented that's not how it happened
Almost posted the text where I begged you to stay
But villains don't get footnotes
So I let you have your escape
You told him I was the problem and they'll never know the truth
That the only thing I'm guilty of is loving you too much to lose
You turned my don't go into purge Made
my devotion the crime of the century
I hope one day the story gets old And
you miss the boy you buried to feel free
I wasn't the problem
I was just the one who stayed
While you wrote the villain And walked away unscathed
Your villain origin story
Now playing on repeat
I hope it keeps you company
When happy gets hard to keep
