Monday morning came early,
We spent all weekend vibing,
Combining and comparing lives.
Looking for a revelation,
Two-way conversation,
Trying to get lighting to strike twice.
Now you’re trying to leave,
Cause the weight of the world,
Is feeling, heavy.
Turing you colder,
Feeling a bit bolder,
Making you everything,
You never wanted to,
Be now I might run away,
Somehow’ve uncovered a new way to be ashamed.
The reason that I walked away.
This is the bed that you’ve made,
Now your gonna lay in it,
Feeling like shit, cause,
The payback’s a bitch
In the backyards,
In the alleys,
On the street,
The payback’s a bitch, bitch.
In the backyards,
In the alleys,
On the street,
The payback’s a bitch (X5)
In the backyards,
In the alleys,
On the street,
The payback’s a bitch.
On the playground,
Going downtown,
In the heat, on the backstreets.
Hold up,
I’m gonna tell you, save it for later.
This ain’t no typical conversation,
Decidin’ when we’re driving downtown.
You’d always be around.
Now I sit around basement halls,
And breathing rooms,
And all the seasons are fallin’ apart,
Was this shit always my fault?
It wasn’t supposed to be this way,
Waiting on the day for the day to sway,
How many times did you ask me to stay, for just a little while?
Giving all I got,
What I got won’t give.
I rather be the first to admit.
I never really wanted this situation in first place.
You keep taking me to places
I don’t wanna go.
You wanna be the main event,
I was just your side-show.
Now your’re standing all alone
There’s no goin’ back
You hate to admit it now
The payback’s a bitch.
In the backyards,
In the alleys,
On the street,
The payback’s a bitch, bitch.
In the backyards,
In the alleys,
On the street,
The payback’s a bitch (X4)
In the backyards,
In the alleys,
On the street,
The payback’s a bitch.
On the playground,
Going downtown,
In the heat, on the backstreets.
In the backyards,
In the alleys,
On the street,
The payback’s a bitch, bitch.
In the backyards,
In the alleys,
On the street,
The payback’s a bitch.
