I put in everything I have

I throw it all on the table

The drugs, the cash, the candy

Anything to get your hand in marriage

You see what I have to offer

And then you run away

I could give you the whole world

But instead, you'd rather hideaway

I see you every day

We sit right next to each other

Playing tic tac toe

Not thinking of another

And then she walks in

And you're head over heels

Or maybe, you're just lying

And secretly in your feelings

I'd ask, but I'm afraid

'Cause you act like you'll shoot me down

And I am frankly sick and tired

Of playing the role of a love-struck clown

Red rover, a game we played

Come over and then you walk away

Back to the other team

Leaving little ol' me

Braces, now on your face

Since the summer of '19

I stood up for you when they all left

And you still ignored me

He's the one I see

Right before I fall asleep

He's the one who comes to me

and saves me in my worst dreams

He's the one who cares

But he's also my worst enemy

He's the man.
