You hit me like a riptide, yeah
But I never noticed 'cause you always kept it under disguise
Lifted up the curtain, let me see what was on the inside
All of the lies and deceit
An ugly mess you created in me
Something that you knew I could never clean
I'll handle it someday
So hit me with a riptide
If that's the way you wanna say goodbye
My anger's been on standby
So hit me with, hit me with a rip-tide
But hey, it was an honest mistake
We'll go our separate ways
We don't need to dig our own gravestones
Push each other out till we're alone
These fights are taking on the same tone
Oh, it's worse if I stay
Cuz you changed my personality
I'll close the door behind me
So hit me with a riptide
If that's the way you wanna say goodbye
My anger's been on standby
So hit me with, hit me with a riptide, yeah
And I have already moved on
To someone who won't do me wrong
I hope that one day you can see
The villain you are with me
Release your hold
And I'm the one in control
And if the riptide comes today
You're the only one that will wash away
So hit me with a riptide
If that's the way you wanna say goodbye
My anger's been on standby
So hit me with, hit me with a riptide, yeah
