I got more on my mind
Than you'll have in your lifetime
And my clothes haven't dried
I've lost count of the lies
(I got)
I got more on my mind
Than you'll have in your lifetime
And my clothes haven't dried
I've lost count of the lies
And she texts me to tell me her skin's breaking out
And I tell her to show me what she's talking 'bout
But I don't wanna see, maybe I need some air
All I want is some calm and for you to care
If I live or I die
'Cause you make all the sounds
You say I don't seem right
It's been a while now
If I live or I diе
Why you still hanging 'round?
Do you care? Nor do I
But it's been a while now
I am your ex
I was thе best
You sleeping sound
So sure I was a mess but
I'm living fine
I see you've been scrolling my timeline
Ask yourself why
'Cause you're unsatisfied
What you don't understand
But what you won't admit
Is that you're no more happy
Living without it
You thought I was the problem
I'll always be that
But you miss me every night
And you're bored of your fall back
If I live or I die
'Cause you make all the sounds
You say I don't seem right
It's been a while now
If I live or I die
Why you still hanging 'round?
Do you care? Nor do I
But it's been a while now
I saw the man that you could be
I used to feel him inside of me
I'll admit I miss that body
But not the personality
If I live or I die
'Cause you make all the sounds
You say I don't seem right
It's been a while now
If I live or I die
Why you still hanging 'round?
Do you care? Nor do I
But it's been a while now
