You loaded the chamber

With secrets only you knew

Dressed up my anger

And tailored it to suit you

Taught me to look over

Over my shoulder

Alyah said, "Be careful

Girl, you don't really know her"

Mhm

Look at the mess you made, what a mess

It's comical at best

Yeah, that's so funny, baby

That you would tell it like that

You paint yourself rather

Lovely, baby, don't you?

Yeah, that's so funny, baby

That you could play it all back

And skip every part where I loved you

And loved you, and loved you, I loved you

That's so funny

Now everyone hates you

Except, of course, my lawyer

'Cause you spoiled him, girl

But here comes the spoiler

The shows really over

If you're looking for closure

You got a better shot with God than you do with me

That's for sure

Yeah, that's so funny, baby

That you would tell it like that

You paint yourself rather

Lovely, baby, don't you?

Yeah, that's so funny, baby

That you could play it all back

And skip every part where I loved you

And loved you, and loved you, I loved you

And you loved the attention it got you

Took my love, twisted it to a **** you

Yeah, that's so funny, baby

That you would do me like that

You're so funny

• Dressed up my anger And tailored it to suit you

  ➔ Past Participles as Adjectives / Implied Past Simple Verbs

  ➔ "Dressed up" implies "My anger was dressed up" or "I dressed up my anger." "Tailored" functions similarly, showing how the anger was modified. The use of past participles here can also imply a past simple action was performed on the anger.

• Alyah said, "Be careful Girl, you don't really know her"

  ➔ Imperative Mood / Present Simple Negative

  ➔ "Be careful" is an imperative command. "you don't really know her" uses the present simple negative to express a current state of not knowing.

• Look at the mess you made, what a mess It's comical at best

  ➔ Imperative / Exclamatory Sentence / Superlative Adverb

  ➔ "Look" is an imperative. "what a mess" is an exclamatory phrase. "at best" uses "best" as a superlative adverb modifying the entire phrase.

• Yeah, that's so funny, baby That you would tell it like that

  ➔ Present Simple / Subjunctive Mood (Hypothetical)

  ➔ "that's so funny" is present simple. "you would tell it like that" uses "would" to express a hypothetical or counterfactual situation, common in the subjunctive mood.

• You paint yourself rather Lovely, baby, don't you?

  ➔ Present Simple / Tag Question

• And skip every part where I loved you And loved you, and loved you, I loved you

  ➔ "hates" is in the present simple, indicating a current widespread feeling. "Except, of course, my lawyer" introduces a specific exception to this general statement.

• If you're looking for closure You got a better shot with God than you do with me

  ➔ Conditional Sentence Type 1 / Present Continuous / Comparative

  ➔ "If you're looking" is a Type 1 conditional (real possibility). "you got" is past simple, but here it's used colloquially to mean "you have" or "you will have." The comparative "better shot" highlights the contrast.
