I was young and naïve
I never thought you would
Talk about me like I wasn't
On your side from the very first time I met you way back when
But you're so brave
Judging by the things you say
Did you know it would all get back to me someday?
Talk behind my back, soon enough you'll see
That's where you'll always be
Never quite enough to catch up to me
Knowing you'll never be me
And I don't ever need you
You'll never be me
And I don't ever need you
So talk behind my back, soon enough you'll see
That's where you'll always be
Never quite enough to catch up to me
Knowing
And if it makes you
Feel better about yourself
To talk down on someone else
I'll be the martyr that you wish you could be
Talk all the shit that you want about me
Cause I can take the conviction
It doesn't hurt at all
It's f*cking basic and ancient
And I will take the fall
If it means that someone else won't have to hear the shit you say behind the back of someone else in such a stupid petty way
But you stay talking all that shit
So just keep talking
Talking
Talking
Talking
Talking
Talking
Talking all you want
But you will never be me
And I don't ever need you
Don't try to tell me who to be
Or try to tell me what to do
Cause I will always be me
And you will always want to
Some people call it jealousy
I call it the motherf*cking truth
You will never be me (You will never be me)
And I don't ever need you (I don't ever need you)
Don't try to tell me who to be (Don't tell me who I should be)
Or try to tell me what to do (Don't tell me what I can do)
Cause I will always be me (I will always be me)
And you will always want to (You will always want to)
Some people call it jealousy (You will never be me)
I call it the motherf*cking truth (The motherf*cking truth)
You will never be me
And I don't ever need you
Cause I will always be me
And you will always want to
