[Verse 1]
I should've known when we met at the late show
You and me, dangerous, sittin' way too close
2AM, at my door where you dropped me off
Tell me how in the hell did I end up with my hand on the barrel?
It's time that you paid
I want you to clean up the mess that you made

[Pre-Chorus]
Like a bitch out of order
Like a bat out of hell
Like a fish out of water
I'm scared, can't you tell?
Bang, bang
Put my gun down on the table
Before you try to blow my mind
I used to think it was you who was so unstable
But now I'm sure I'm close behind

[Chorus]
B-b-bang
B-b-bang, bang, boom
B-b-bang
B-b-bang, bang, boom
B-b-bang
B-b-bang, bang, boom
B-b-bang
B-b-bang, bang

[Verse 2]
I thought you were good, you painted me bad
Compared to the others, the best thing I had
But then I discovered, it couldn't get worse
You're buildin' my coffin, you're drivin' the hearse
I thought it was you, I loved you the most
But I was just keepin' my enemies close
I made a decision to never look back
So how did you end up with all of my jack?

[Post-Chorus]
Whoa, whoa
Bang, bang

[Verse 2]
I should've known, you were too good to be true
You were hidin' both your horns and I was such a fool
It's not a race
Wasn't trying to beat you
Trip me up, shut me down
When I was with you

[Pre-Chorus]
Like a bitch out of order
Like a bat out of hell
Like a fish out of water
I'm scared, can't you tell?

[Chorus]
Bang bang
Put my gun down on the table
Before you try to blow my mind
I used to think it was you who was so unstable
But now I'm sure I'm close behind
B-b-bang
B-b-bang, bang, boom
B-b-bang
B-b-bang, bang, boom
B-b-bang
B-b-bang, bang, boom
B-b-bang
B-b-bang

[Verse 3]
I thought you were good, you painted me bad
Compared to the others, the best thing I had
But then I discovered, it couldn't get worse
You're buildin' my coffin, you're drivin' the hearse
I thought it was you, I loved you the most
But I was just keepin' my enemies close
I made a decision, I had to employ
So how did you end up with all of my toys?

[Bridge]
I'm not your brother, not your lover
And I'm not your friend
Now that it's over, you're another kind of different
A new person
Your time is up
And that's my blood in your dixie cup

[Outro]
B-b-bang
B-b-bang, bang, boom
B-b-bang
B-b-bang, bang, boom
B-b-bang
B-b-bang, bang, boom
B-b-bang
B-b-bang, bang
Bang bang boom
B-b-bang, boom
B-b-bang, boom
