[Verse 1: Michael Bohn]
Another waste of headspace
Got dumb on the tracks
Never knew the facts 'til I wised up
For years, I been toe to toe with the heavyweights
Never thought I'd size up
It's got me thinking 'bout the rise up
You said no strings attached
And now you got me tied up
You talking that shit
And you're blowing that smoke
But your card got declined at the nightclub
[Pre-Chorus: Tyler Carter]
And every single pointless conversation
Is breaking down the walls that kept the demons out
I try to find the signs that might reveal
The secret to what we're missing
But maybe time is all that we need now
[Chorus: Tyler Carter]
A blessing in disguise
Or just broke and pitiful
I don't fuck with these mind games, baby
But if one thing's right I saw with my own eyes
[Verse 2: Michael Bohn]
I know your tricks, don't act so proud
I'm moving up while you're slowing down
I own it now, you want it now
And you can put it down, hey
But you're nothing but a waste of headspace
[Pre-Chorus: Tyler Carter, Michael Bohn]
Every single pointless conversation
Is breaking down the walls that kept the demons out
I try to find the signs that might reveal
The secret to what we're missing
But maybe time is all we need now
[Chorus: Tyler Carter]
A blessing in disguise
Or just broke and pitiful
I don't fuck with these mind games, baby
But if one thing's right, I saw with my own eyes
[Bridge: Tyler Carter]
Oh yeah, you're a waste of space in my head
Hey-hey, you're a waste of space in my head, oh-oh
[Chorus: Tyler Carter]
A blessing in disguise
Or just broke and pitiful
I don't fuck with these mind games, baby
But if one thing's right, I saw with my own eyes
A blessing in disguise
Or just broke and pitiful
I don't fuck with these mind games, baby
But if one thing's right, I saw with my own eyes
[Bridge: Tyler Carter]
Oh yeah, you're a waste of space in my head
He-hey, you're a waste of space in my head, oh-oh
[Outro: Tyler Carter, Michael Bohn]
I try to find the signs that might reveal
The secret to what we're missing, oh yeah
You're nothing but a waste of headspace
Hey-hey, you're a waste of space in my head, oh-oh
