Dakota

I saw your boyfriend yesterday

He looked at me with the same face

Feels like I'm 17 again

I guess not much has even changed

Since we were back in high school, talking every day

Does he still tell you I'll be sorry

If I ever even look your way?

Hey, Dakota, you can piss right off

You'll keep your hands to yourself

And remove my name from your mouth

Hey, Dakota, why are you so scared?

'Cause we both know that you hate me

So why don't you tell someone who cares?

How do you stand back and take it?

The cheating, lies, and the abuse

Like a punching bag, you won't fight back

(Tell me, what's your best excuse?)

"Wipe those tears away," so many times I told her

But I'm here to hold your hand

While you're crying on my shoulder

I've lost all faith in this because he's never changing

I tried to tell you girl, but you never listened

Hey, Dakota, you can piss right off

You'll keep your hands to yourself

And remove my name from your mouth

Hey, Dakota, why are you so scared?

'Cause we both know that you hate me

So why don't you tell someone who cares?

You'd be better off on your own

I think you know (I think you know)

You'd be better off on your own

I think you know (I'll say it again)

Hey, Dakota, you can piss right off

You'll keep your hands to yourself

And you'll remove my name from your mouth

Hey, Dakota, why are you so scared?

'Cause we both know that you hate me

So why don't you tell someone who cares?

You'd be better off on your own

But if you ever need, I'll always be here
