lyrics

I don’t wanna go back to that day
When you told me that you didn’t like the way, i behaved
Walking ‘round here like you hold the reigns
Feeling so small that you can, hold a parade
Ego inflamed

Now you’re speaking to me like I got a gun
And you’re talking me off of a ledge, that i'm on
And it's just for fun
And i’m holding my breath as you don’t hold your tongue
Just a damsel distressed and an unwanted opinion
Are you done?

If i’m wasting your time, maybe you're wasting mine
Always crossing the line, do you get comfort from being a big shot honey
I know that it’s hard, when you’re living in the past
You’re not tied to the times
Do you get comfort from being a big shot honey?

I don’t wanna go back to that place, stressing over something that I thought but didn’t say
Now i’m wide awake
Pressing all my buttons ‘till i lose control
Testing where my temper is and waiting for my fall
And who’s it for?

If i’m wasting your time, maybe you're wasting mine
Always crossing the line, do you get comfort from being a big shot honey
I know that it’s hard, when you’re living in the past
Always tied to the times
Do you get comfort from being a big shot honey? X5
