Emotional manipulation, guilt, toxic relationship themes
These lyrics deal with a toxic past relationship, exploring themes of emotional neglect, manipulation, self-isolation, guilt, and remorse. The narrator reflects on how they mistreated a partner — lying repeatedly, playing with their feelings, and describing it as 'conditioning,' which implies emotional manipulation or psychological abuse. There is no explicit language, sexual content, violence, or drug/alcohol references. The content is emotionally heavy and involves concepts like guilt, emotional damage, and interpersonal toxicity that younger children may not have the emotional framework to process constructively. The overall message, while not glorifying the behavior, requires a degree of emotional maturity to interpret the self-reflection and accountability present. These themes are best suited for teenagers and older audiences who may have begun navigating complex relationships.

I was bored out my mind Lost my whole appetite When I could come to life, I didn't You were there all the time You're the worst of my crimes You fell hard, I thought, "Good riddance" I never was the best to you I never was the best to you I never was, I never was Used to lie to your face 20 times in a day It was my little strange addiction But you still tried to stay While I'd self-isolate And I knew, but I stayed hidden I never was the best to you I never was the best to you I never was, I never was I never was the best to you I never was the best to you I never was, I never was (ah) And I destroyed every silver lining you had In your head, all of your feelings, I played with them Go ahead, we can just call it conditioning We were too different, you were so sensitive Gave me the best of that, I was so negligent Now I feel terrible 'bout how I handled it And now I, now I bet you resent all of me, all of it Angry, blocking me over the internet Promise I don't forget all of my fault in this 'Cause look at me, I'm alone, sitting here, staying home All of my self-control kinda got difficult But I deserve it though, I deserve it though You were there all the time You're the worst of my crimes You fell hard, I thought, "Good riddance" I never was the best to you I never was the best to you I never was, I never was Oh, I never was the best to you I never was the best to you I never was, I never was
