Technically A Bastard by Chandler Park
You walked in like a headline breaking
Half-truth smile, no heart, just taking
Every promise dressed in gold
Every story slightly sold
You talk fast, but I hear static
Love like yours is automatic
Flip a switch, then you’re gone
Leave me dancing with what’s wrong
You say it’s complicated
I say it’s overrated
All your shades of gray just fade to black
You’re not the villain in your own disaster
You twist the truth just a little bit faster
Call it love, but you’re an actor
Yeah, you’re technically a bastard
You don’t lie, you just rearrange it
Bend the line till no one can trace it
Hands clean, but the damage plastered
Yeah, you’re technically a bastard
You don’t break, you just apply pressure
Turn a heart into a lesser
Version of what it was before
Then you’re halfway out the door
You play nice when eyes are watching
Cold as hell when no one’s talking
I learned late, but I learned well
Heaven face with a private hell
You say it’s complicated
I say it’s calculated
Every move designed to dodge the facts
You’re not the villain in your own disaster
You twist the truth just a little bit faster
Call it love, but you’re an actor
Yeah, you’re technically a bastard
You don’t lie, you just rearrange it
Bend the line till no one can trace it
Hands clean, but the damage plastered
Yeah, you’re technically a bastard
Maybe someday you’ll believe it
All the wreckage you’ve been leaving
Every “sorry” you rehearsed
Only makes it feel much worse
I was blind, but now I see it
Every time you tried to be it
Something real, something true
Was the one thing you can’t do
You’re not the villain in your own disaster
But everyone else pays for the after
Call it love, but you’re an actor
Yeah, you’re technically a bastard
You don’t lie, you just disguise it
Wrap it up so no one finds it
Smile sharp like it don’t matter
Yeah, you’re technically a bastard
Technically clean…
But emotionally shattered
Yeah, you’re technically…
A bastard
