[Verse 1]
You consume my mind
How the thoughts I have intertwine with you
But now
We're letting it all go south
Oh, and I'll
Bury us in the ground
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm trying to devise a plan where you don't fit into my algorithm
Even though it hurts so bad, I'm writing it down
'Cause you don't wanna work this out
You don't wanna work this out
[Verse 2]
No more magic
Now what does it say on that 8 Ball, baby?
You hated when
I called you mine
Wish I was sick of it
Now there's no need to pretend
And you're swimming
While I drown in the deep end
[Chorus]
And I'm trying to devise a plan where you don't fit into my algorithm
Even though it hurts so bad, I'm writing it down
'Cause you don't wanna work this out
You don't wanna work this out
'Cause you don't wanna work things out
You don't wanna work this out
[Bridge]
Ah-ah
Ooh-ooh
I'm so sick of it (Ah-ah)
You're swimming while I drown
[Chorus]
And I'm trying to devise a plan where you don't, you don't fit
Even though it hurts so bad, I'm writing it down
'Cause you don't wanna work this out

I was scared because I knew what I was writing felt like it’s confirming that we’re going to break up. [“Southsider”] was almost validation to me. Like, OK, I need to part ways with this person and really just be strong enough. The song actually made me stronger.
