Relapse
By Shelley violet Smith
Verse 1
You say you're a genuine guy…
Well, we both know that's a lie…
You play the part of nice
But I ripped off your disguise
Pre chorus
Nice guys don’t finish last
(Ex-cept when they should…)
Fake nice guys…
Always mansplaining their lies
(Right into my eyes…)
La da da da da da dat…
Chorus
You think that I'll relapse
Just like that
La da da da da da dat
That six-week message saying “hey” pulls me back again
La da da da da da dat
I'm over it
Hook
Setting up boundaries like rebar
Step off my perimeter please
Verse 2
The gap grows longer
Then you're circling back around
Seeking attention, reaching out
You test the door, it's locked now
Back where you keep your distance now
Pre chorus
Nice guys don’t finish last
(Ex-cept when they should…)
Fake nice guys…
Always mansplaining their lies
(Right into my eyes…)
La da da da da da dat…
Chorus
You think that I'll relapse
Just like that
La da da da da da dat
That six-week message saying “hey” pulls me back again
La da da da da da dat
I'm over it
Hook
Setting up boundaries like rebar
Step off my perimeter please
Bridge
Looks like you can't break bad habits
You call it love
It was over when it turned to static
No rewinding memories
No magic fix
I kicked it like a bad habit
Final chorus
You think that I'll relapse
Just like that
That six-week message tries to pull me back again
La da da da da da dat
I kicked that habit fast
And the door stays locked
Guess this nice guy finished last
Outro
La da da da da da dat
Step off my perimeter
La da da da da da dat
Step off my perimeter
