"She thought she would get the best of me.
She didn't know I would beat her to it.
It wasn't really that hard to see
That in our friendship she was chomping at the bit.

She wasn't happy and I wasn't either.
There was a weight on both of our shoulders.
To leave or fight, I wanted neither.
But it would do no good to be with a scolder.

But I found a way to run away
Before she could find a way to push me
And I made a plan to save my own damn day
Without feeling the lick of her consuming heat.

She was trying to leave me rotting.
But I beat her to it, and now I'm broke.
She tried to catch me while I was falling.
But now I'm the one with the heart to choke."
