  • Packed my bags at fourteen
    I hadn't planned on leaving
    But you haven't been back home for days
    The pots and pans and roaches
    They're glad I'm finally goin'
    'Cause, even them, they shudder at your name

    You don't really want to hear the truth, do you?
    It's obvious to anyone who ever knew you
    That all you ever want is to be right
    Even if that means you gotta lie to do it
    The only thing you've proven

    Is that there's no one
    Who ever has done better
    At making me feel worse
    Now you really are the winner
    Yeah, there's nothing
    That ever did quite kill me
    More than what you did
    Now you really are the winner
    Take a bow 'cause you're the winner
    You're the winner

    Bask inside your victory
    My heart that once was beating
    Bleeding in the palm of your hand
    Yet, you have the nerve to miss me
    How do I somehow feel guilty?
    When you're the one who let it get this bad

    You don't really want to hear the truth, do you?
    It's obvious to anyone who ever knew you
    That all you ever wanted was to fight
    I was only tryin' to survive your chaos
    Well, look at how it's paid off

    'Cause now there's no one
    Who ever has done better
    At making me feel worse
    Now you really are the winner (winner)
    Yeah, there's nothing
    That ever did quite kill me
    More than what you did
    Now you really are the winner (winner)
    Take a bow 'cause you're the winner

    You're the winner
    You're the winner

    'Cause you don't really want to hear the truth, do you? Writer/s: Conan Lee Gray, Greg Allen Kurstin
