Lyrics Cast-Off - Bruce Hornsby, Justin Vernon

Cast-Off

I guess it’s terrible
But it don’t feel so bad
I abide, and I may hold a key
To being gratefully glad
(Mission on my way down)
You smile in my face
(In my waiting)
But all the time you wanted to hit replace
(I've been along the way around)
Here’s my back for stabbin'
Won’t wait it up, I won’t weigh you down
Won’t crave it up, I will stand down
I won’t taint it up, I will stand down
When you cast me off
I’ll be, I’ll be your cast-off
Be your discarded toy
I’ll be, I’ll be your cast-off
Be your maybe something choice
Self-loathing never felt so good
And so it should
I’ll be your cast-off
I’ll be your discarded toy
Be your rejection foil
Won’t wait it up, I won’t weigh you down
Won’t crave it up, I will stand down
I won’t taint it up, I will stand down
When you cast me off
I’ll be, I’ll be your cast-off
Be your discarded toy
I’ll be, I’ll be your cast-off
Be your maybe something choice
Be your rejection foil
I kinda ain’t shit
But I embrace it
I can be okay
I’ll take what I can get
And like it
And like it well
I’ll be your cast-off
Be your discarded one
Discarded toy
Discarded chew toy
Smile in my face
And all the time you want to take my place
Here’s my back for stabbin'
