You called the other day, I stayed away
                     C#    Cm   G#
I left your shit on read, four times today
                   C#            Cm        G#
And it felt like bliss, used to miss your kiss
                               C#
Now I'm hop-skip jumpin' over narcissists
         Cm                   G#
Throwing all your stuff into the abyss
                                     C#
Now the role is reversed, I told you I'ma switch
         Cm
How you like my spit?
           G#
That's for all the piss that you left me in
          C#                             Cm
See, the horns on my head they're from goddesses,
  G#
goddesses, on god

C#                Cm             G#
No, I never knew what it meant, what it meant
                    C#
to be content with you
           Cm           G#
Everything I expressed, I professed,
                         C#
it never quite made it through
          Cm              G#
Said it's all in my head, all in my head whenever
            C#
I spoke my truth
      Cm                  G#
No, I won't defend you to all my friends,
this time, I refuse

Chorus:
        C#      Cm    G#
If you bite my hand again
              C#        Cm             G#
I will never feed you, you can call me evil
                C#           Cm           G#
Take it to the grave if you wanna play pretend
               C#        Cm              G#
I won't be mistreated, please call me conceited
                 C#          Cm      G#
Took me way too long to put this to bed
                C#      Cm                 G#
Lovin' you was lethal, guess that makes me evil,
evil

C#    Cm  G#
Evil, evil

Remember when you smiled right to my face?
As all my little tears of oxalate
They made a shape, revealed a snake
Now I'm stop-drop-rollin' over all your jokes
Every time you tell a lie,
I'm prayin' that you choke
Should've listened to the signs and the horoscopes
Hope you never cope, hope you slip on soap
Crack your head like an egg, wanna see the yolk
You were such a hoax

No, I never knew what it meant
What it meant to be content with you
Everything I expressed, I professed
It never quite made it through
Said it's all in my head, all in my head
Whenever I spoke my truth
No, I won't defend you to all my friends
This time I refuse

Chorus - x2

C#    Cm    G#
Evil, evil, evil, evil
C#    Cm    G#
Evil, evil, evil, evil

Lovin' you was lethal
Guess that makes me evil
