supremely overrated - still vulnerable lyrics
[verse 1]
the tower in my mind is defenseless
hence, this setting up siege engines is immensely offensive
honey, when you gonna storm these pensive fences?
why’d you even say it if you never really meant it?
really? consider me an enemy?
not a shot was fired, but you’re gearin’ up ahead of me?
what’s with the dichotomy between the stuff you said to me
and everything you’re doin’ to improve yourself instead of me?
you love him
oh, right
you said to not think poorly of him
described his crimes extensive, then you asked me not to judge him
told me i was right until he started f-ckin’ cryin’
tantrum cut a rift, ripped it into a divide
suddenly you and his friends are so intensely against me
mental acrobatics make intentions mincemeat
suddenly your b-ttons got all punched at once;
where was this reluctance with my finger in your b-tt?
[chorus]
you had me vulnerable
i don’t like that
the only course of action for me is to fight back
the only way i know to fight is writing sh-t like this
’cause you’ll survive a statement better than a fist
you had me vulnerable
i don’t like that
the only course of action for me is to fight back
the only way i know to fight is writing sh-t like this
’cause you’ll survive a statement better than a fist
[verse 2]
listen, i’ll admit: it was bliss when you kissed me
loved you for a bit before our tryst’s commencing
thought we did it quick, but i took you at your cue
mostly ’cause of love, but yeah i thought you were cute
and we were bonded; we had an empathy
and all i wanted was to give you what you sent to me
it wasn’t opportunity- we just connected
our friendship didn’t go extinct- it was protected
i heard your f-ckin’ friends- they think it was expected
like i was waiting in the wings to swoop and wreck it
villainize me like i’s tryin’ to deceive ’em
and your mind is f-ckin weak so you believe ’em
did you describe the night before when i was strokin’ your head?
you were lonely without him inside your two-person bed
you panted and whimpered and kissed my ear like a lover
if you forgot to bring it up, i guess it’s here to discover-
[bridge]
you wanted me
(ringing)
“h-llo?”
yeah
you wanted me
since before you were over
you wanted me
i said, “i shouldn’t be here,”
but you wanted me
i left your room, sayin’, “look- i shouldn’t be here…”
but you wanted me
[chorus]
and you had me vulnerable
i don’t like that
the only course of action for me is to fight back
the only way i know to fight is writing sh-t like this
’cause you’ll survive a statement better than a fist
you had me vulnerable
i don’t like that
the only course of action for me is to fight back
the only way i know to fight is writing sh-t like this
’cause you’ll survive a statement better than a fist-
rrrah!
[verse 3]
promise if i had my way from the outset:
promise if we swapped roles, c-ck roulette:
promise if control was the rules of my game:
this’d all be different- i can swear on my name
instead was this bit; you know you picked it
instead he got what all he wanted on his wish list
if i’m guilty, ‘least one of us has conviction
but i’m still travis abshear
and you’re just a piece of sh-t, kid
[outro]
you had me vulnerable
i don’t like that
