Released on April 9th, 2021, this is the first single of “a series of character-driven singles”, according to Criss. The song describes a toxic relationship where you aren’t being treated right, but can’t bring yourself to stay away from the other person.
[Intro]
Oh, oh, oh, oh
[Verse 1]
Ask me if I'll come around
You wonder how I feel about it
What you think? Uh
Call you up to call you out
You wonder if I'm real about it
What you think? Uh
[Pre-Chorus]
All the time you took from my pocket
All the love I gave but you dropped it
Oh my god, I know I can't stop it now
All the fights, fires you started
Stab my back, say you're a martyr
Oh my god, I know I can't stop it now
[Chorus]
You're fuckin' around
Don't know why I stay
Fuckin' around
I can't get away
You're fuckin' around
Kills me every day
Fuckin' around
Fuckin' around, bringing me down, yeah, I'm runnin'
[Verse 2]
I can't believe that I'm still lookin' through your pictures
Am I feeling good about it?
What you think?
[Pre-Chorus]
Check myself, I hate that I need this
Tell myself that I can defeat this
Every time you leave me wanting you more
Tell you off, I swear that I mean it
Come right back, tear me to pieces
Throw my hands up, oh, sweet Jesus who am I doing this for?
[Chorus]
You're fuckin' around
Don't know why I stay
Fuckin' around
I can't get away
You're fuckin' around
Kills me every day
Fuckin' around
Fuckin' around, bringing me down, yeah, I'm runnin'
[Bridge]
Oh my god, I know I can't stop it
Oh my god, I know I can't stop it now
[Chorus]
You're fuckin' around
Don't know why I stay
Fuckin' around
I can't get away
You're fuckin' around
Kills me every day
Fuckin' around
Fuckin' around, bringing me down, yeah, I'm runnin'
[Outro]
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Fuckin' around, bringing me down, yeah, I'm runnin'
