This is hard. Harder than I thought. I thought about the full moon that night that I dislocated your jaw...
Called my Dad and told him you broke my heart. The scar on my left rib from the Jameson bottle you threw at my arm. My phone. Laying on the ground.
You hinted you were abusive. On my birthday. When you threw me out and threw me through the wall. The scars on my arms. The bruises from throwing me that hard. The vigilante who knocked on the door. Called the cops. Told em you were gone.
The way they beat you up. For being so unkind. My sister when she picked me up and grabbed my bags.
Told me. Donât ever go back. Kissing my nephew on his little nose. Looking to show we could grow. Even as a baby. We know.Â
The start of the Post Malone show. Crying on the ground when I got the text. Telling me your friends wouldnât let me in.
Sequins and boos. All the abuse. The cop who escorted me home. All healing. In a scar on my left arm. From the way you couldnât ... in court when I told your Dad. Heâs not a bad man. So I dropped charges for you.
I donât know - the way he walked me home when I was drunk. Helped me into my car. The wine on the tour bus and all the Post Malone shows. It was never hard until you tore me apart. The day that followed in New York City. Walking alone, I was trying not to be sad, that no one could ever know. Why I never showed up backstage at the New Years Show. I guess I couldnât know.
But his name - Â I never should have met him tho. He would still be alone. I never should have told the court, itâs not his fault, no I just go alone. Hear me out, this isnât about, some man in a band. But the black lives matter movement and all he said. He killed my vibe when he walked in that night, and told me about her kid. He killed my heart when he said the show was about to start. He let me down. When I couldnât be around the same crowd. All because of a man. Who couldnât control his own hands. He still blames it on me. His friends still make me suffer for something THEY didnât see. His friends are all undercover, they should be working for me. But his feelings I guess they got scared. When I said I didnât care. His friends still look at me, like Iâm a villain, when they couldnât possibly be. Anything like that man. Iâll say it once again. Your hands are no place for abuse. Steve, this is your cue. Stop battering and beating women. Stop telling your friends Stop posting about being a good man. You ruined my Thanksgiving. You ruined an evening with my fam. You let me drive all through just to pick me up from a fight. You told me you were right. When the app came through. We both knew.
Still. A vigil. A silent. Night. Iâll let you know. It was never alright. Your friends. Youâre mean. To think, 6 years later you had to blame it on me. When I tossed him out the door, for throwing me on the floor. xoxo â¤ď¸ And if youâre reading this, which I hope you donât.
Iâll never be alone, because I stayed away from you. I will never be abused. Because youâre gone. I will never sit alone, at another Post Malone Show. Because your friends donât mean shit. Iâll still enjoy - every last bit. Of knowing, I will always be legit. I will never quit. And I donât know how to live with it. So I wrote about it. And Dan, hereâs the plan. If and when, I ever see you again. I will happily shake your hand, and seriously tell you youâre a bad man. Because you donât have enough balls, to look at a woman, when you were wrong, and all this time I thought, we were just getting along. It doesnât matter. Itâs all wrong. Itâs all gone. I have no remorse. I have no recourse. I have no discord for the person you were before. And ask away, Iâll still share your name, because a lot of other men wouldnât have been so petty and dead. But you looked at me that day, didnât say a damn thang. And instead, you shot an innocent girl in the back. Iâll never forget that. When you come to my show, I hope you sit alone. And let the police escort you and get you super drunk too. Cuz maybe youâll feel my pain, of never being the one to blame. When you take off your jacket and she wonât let you see shit. When youâre too drunk to find a taxi. And the police actually protected me. When youâre the one on my crew. I would never do that to you. Abuse you. While youâre signing her long contracts, getting to know my contacts. Iâll still believe you, that you just didnât know what to do. That your friend, was nothing like you. The end.Â
