Lyrics:

I guess I forgot, you’re always the good guy
I’m always wrong and you're alwasy right

I guess I forgot how it all happened
And I made it all up, to make you look bad

If you ever pushed me down, you make it look like I fell myself
If you told me to leave, you’d make it look like I left you
Stop playing the victim

I guess you forgot, you’ve done this before,
I’m not the first and I’m definitely not the last

I guess you forgot, that no one believes you,
They’re all on my side, they know what I went through

If you ever made me cry, you’d say I got bad news
If you ever let me down, you’d say I was confused
Stop playing the victim

You’re like the boy who cried wolf
You give a cry but no one moves
The day will come,
The wolves are knocking at your door
And still you don’t know what for
