​used to be lyrics

[Intro]
Blame, something everyone’s done before
Scapegoat, something everyone’s been before
Annoy, something everyone’s done before
as*h*le, something everyone’s been before
Hurt, something everyone’s done before
Pain, something everyone’s felt before

[Chorus]
I’ve annoyed many people in the past
Despite the pain they’ve caused, I’ve never been in a cast
I’ve been a scapegoat too many times
I’ve hurt people with my lies
I’ve never blamed someone before, I’m sure
And I’ve definitely been an as*h*le before
But that’s who I used to—

[Verse]
I wish I wasn’t too young to drink
Because it’s always hard to think
About the person I was all the time
I always told people lies
I regret everything I did
I was always a stupid kid
Now I’m worse, depressed and alone
Writing sh*tty songs on my iPhone
I’ve been doing this for a year and a half
[Pre-Chorus]
What is wrong with me?

[Bridge]
I have voices in my head telling me to kill myself
They’re affecting my mental health
Has this been my problem the whole time
Or is this another lie?
I don’t know, I don’t know!
Just stay away from me, just go!
I’m scared I’m gonna hurt someone again!
Were any of you real friends?

[Chorus]
I’ve annoyed many people in the past
Despite the pain they’ve caused, I’ve never been in a cast
I’ve been a scapegoat too many times
I’ve hurt people with my lies
I’ve never blamed someone before, I’m sure
And I’ve definitely been an as*h*le before
But that’s who I used to be
Someone who couldn’t see
I was blind, I didn’t know what was going on
This is why I write these songs
