What is it about me that you know? I guess “stupid” is my name in every group that I am in ‘Cause I’m the only one who’s treated like a joke You would tap my temple as if I don’t have a brain Now I’m just afraid to even speak so I agreed with everything you said to make myself seem smart and be someone you might want to see in me You held the blade between my lips to cut the words laid on my tongue so you can hide all of your shame Gave you a bunch of my own flowers, made the thorns prick out my blood for you to stay and validate my name I hate how insecure your ego can be When you do something wrong, you blame it on me And now I’m just the one who makes everybody mad ‘Cause you wrote “stupid” on my name tag I would second guess myself on every choice I make ‘Cause I’m scared of your disappointed screams You made me feel unworthy to be loved like I’m the worst mistake and a burden to the person of my dreams Every day I wonder why you chose him over me Like do I need to work on myself more? But then I realized he is everything that I can never be And he has everything that I cannot afford I’ll be the author of my book where you’re the enemy alone and I’m the one who wins the battle at the end ‘cause I’m just sick of playing all the stupid characters you wrote to fit the part you’ll finally love me in I hate how insecure your ego can be When you do something wrong, you blame it on me And now I’m just the one who makes everybody mad ‘cause You wrote “stupid” on my name tag Oh, why would you take the person I love and say I’m not the one to be with at all? You’re sick for making me the target in your little plan by writing “stupid” on my name tag I know I shouldn’t even listen to you But I don’t know if what you called me is true ‘cause now I’m just the fool who makes everybody mad with what you wrote on my name tag You wrote “stupid” on my name tag
