"Make Up Stories" lyrics

Just give me a reason
What's the point in leaving?
When we know you'll just come back again
'Cause, "I don't know," is not a reason
Wish that you could see that
I won't let you lie to me again

Fall back on your crutch, fair-weather friend
I don't need you, I don't need to
Hear your sad excuses once again
I get it

You're pleading your case, taking the bait
Scramble to make up stories, testimonies
You play me like a rook in line
A crooked move, a silent crime

Throw you out into the deep end
Put you on the defense
'Cause we know you love to play pretend
You can take it or just leave it
Say it like you mean it
I won't let the tables turn again

Why do you say the things you say
When you never acted out that way?
I acted stupid, but you made me do it
This ain't the game that I play

You're pleading your case, taking the bait
Scramble to make up stories, testimonies
You play me like a rook in line
A crooked move, a silent crime
A queen that's fallen far from grace
You're just a pawn that's out of place
There's nowhere left to run this time
You fucked around and crossed the line

Agony, irony
I am not a novelty
Markedly, you were not a friend to me
There is no love lost, sticking to it
Be it not so perfect
Echoes from a past life
Severing my last ties now

You're pleading your case, taking the bait
Scramble to make up stories, testimonies now
But I'm taking higher ground
So now you play me like a rook in line
Play me like a rook in line
A crooked move, a silent crime
A crooked move, a silent
Crime
I'm fine without you
Crime
I'm fine without you
Crime
I'm fine with you
