Ooh
I'd been consumed
I'm not for sale
Man, what the hell?
I been with you
And this ain't gon' last me forever
All that I can be is me and all me
Time to get out, I don't want you around
All that I can see is you without me
No, I can't scold you, however
I tried to play pretend (oh)
Try not to see the end (ah)
But I couldn't see you the way you saw me
Now I can feel the waste on me
I tried my best to be worth all your while
You just gotta let me go as I'm tryna let go of you
Sho-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Ooh
I'll be there soon
I'm kinda sad
What should I do? (What should I do?)
Guess I'll move on
Love won't harass me forever
All that I could be is me and all me
Fuck all that nostalgia, been up on a downer
I can't make your eyes see, gon' be what it's gon' be
Don't come back around me, no, never
You were so automatic
So you know I had to have it
But lovin' you was a hazard
So I got my heart a helmet
I tried my best to be worth all your while
You just gotta let me go as I'm tryna let go of you, ooh
Let me (let me), allow me to let go of you, ooh
Let me, let me (let) go
Oh, no, oh (oh), oh
Fuck yeah
La-la-la-la-la-la (ooh)
La-la-la-la-la-la (ooh)
La-la-la-la-la-la (ooh)
La-la-la-la-la-la (ooh)
La-la-la-la-la-la (ooh)
La-la-la-la-la-la (ooh)
La-la-la-la-la-la (ooh)
La-la-la-la-la-la (ooh)
