How many reminders do you need
Before you remember to leave?
How many reminders do you need
Before you remember to leave?
How many reminders do you need
Before you remember to leave?
How many reminders do you need
Before you remember to leave?
I'm leaving 'cause I've had my fill
Of emptying myself in order to be still (still, still, still)
What's done is done, some of it was fun but most of it was shitty
What's done is done, some of it was fun but most of it was shitty
What's done is done, some of it was fun but most of it was shitty
What's done is done, some of it was fun but most of it was shitty
Oh the jealousy, on your knees
I pretend I am, but I'm not free
Oh jealousy, owns me
I pretend I am, but I'm not not not not
Well, I'm out, I'm off, goodbye
Cough cough cough
Lie lie lie lie
Lie lie lie
How many reminders
Do you need before you remember to leave
How many reminders
Do you need before you remember to leave
What's done is done some of it was fun
But most of it was shitty
What's done is done some of it was fun
But most of it was shitty
