about

This grunge song comes from the memory of how it felt for Celesté to receive a handwritten letter from an ex, who claimed that she was a fraud. The lyrics tell the story of the impact the letter had on Celesté’s mindset as well as what ultimately pushed her to end this toxic relationship by dispelling these harmful beliefs.

lyrics

Verse 1
Your words were etched into my brain
So deep in the grooves
I was numb to the pain
And how could, you already script
such devious words
Call me a fraud

Chorus
I'll tell you what
This journal entry addressed to me
was misplaced
And I'll tell you what
You crossed the final line
so get out of my face
And I'll tell you what
all the good I ever saw in you
was a mistake
Mmmmmhmm
Such a mistake
Mmmmhmmm

Verse 2
Sometimes I laugh at your maliciousness
How you could call my life fictitious
You're such a fucking narcissist
And so I'm burning all your pages
Along with all the tapes
of your voice inside my head
And this, this is the every end,
but you go on an pretend
like we can make amends

Chorus
I'll tell you what
This journal entry addressed to me
was misplaced
And I'll tell you what
You crossed the final line
so get out of my face
And I'll tell you what
all the good I ever saw in you
was a mistake
Mmmmmhmm
Such a mistake
Mmmmhmmm

Outro
I'll tell you what
all the good I ever saw in you
was a mistake
Mmmmmhmm
Such a mistake
Mmmmhmmm
