You played the pauper, the ghost, the wreck,
Waiting for me to jump ship for a check.
Testing my soul with a rigged-up game,
Waiting for me to go chasing the fame.
You wanted to see if I’d run for the gold,
But I was the only one stayed in the cold.
I didn’t want the cars or the plastic skin,
I was digging through the dirt for the man within.
But while I was searching for the heart I knew,
You were busy turning the screws on me too.
Trying to "weed me out," to see if I’d break,
Until you turned my love into a massive ache.
I hope you feel like a man in your empty room,
Master of the "test" that sealed our doom.
Was it worth the win? Was it worth the pride?
To **** the only girl who was on your side?
You weeded out the gold while looking for the fake,
And now you’re left with the silence you make.
