[Intro]
Yeah
Yeah
(Lucas)
[Chorus]
Tell me why I gotta fight for your attention (Attention)
And why the fuck I gotta yell for you to listen?
You all gassed up and that's the reason that I'm distant (Distant)
It's like we live in two different dimensions (I don't know)
Shit, it's crazy to think I even existed
In that self-centered world that you live in
I'm heartbroken and I'm still tryna fix it
Knowing that love kills and it never leaves a witness
Shit, I wonder why I ended up alone (Alone)
Why do memories stay when people don't? (They don't)
And when I'm callin' you, you ain't pick up the phone
Knowin' you my weakness, but you force me to be strong (You gon' force me to be strong)
Bad real estate, girl, you put me in a bad place
And then you throw salt on me thinkin' that it'd add taste (What?)
This was really your decision, I ain't have say (No)
But you just dumped me like a cig in an ashtray (Damn)
[Verse]
Look, we was on a binge 'til you tell me that I'm canceled
Ask you for your all and you gave me a sample
I hate it when I drink 'cause it's making me ramble
Guess this what happen when you didn't read the manual
Knowing that I woulda gave you my all and expected nothing (Nothing)
But you play me, so I ended up with less than nothing
We was together, then we talked, now we interrupted
Got me asking how that work and how I'm supposed to function?
I already told you about the shit that I've been through
Still led me on like a mechanical pencil
You was a person I vent to, ain't keep this shit confidential
I still got used like a fuckin' utensil
How much you really love me if a nigga gotta beg? (Beg)
Gargoyle, I've been livin' on the edge (On the edge)
What's comin' in between us is somethin' gettin' wedged
We had our one-on-ones, she was Kyla, I'm Arnaz
As far as my heart goes, that shit don't even beat now (Beat now)
Up at all hours, I can't even sleep now (Sleep now)
The skeletons in my closet gettin' cleaned out
Got a nigga weak, you been on my mind for weeks now (Weeks now)
I feel like you only talk when you wanna talk (Wanna talk)
But my desperate ass talk when you wanna talk (Fuck)
I did whatever floats your boat, I was Noah's Ark
But how the fuck I'm 'posed to live with a broken heart? (Broken heart)
I beat myself up over it 'cause it hits me hard (Hit me hard)
You told me that you would ride, end up switchin' cars
Tried to put my foot down, it didn't get the charge
Now you on the 'Gram subbin' 'cause you got a different guard? (Different guard?)
Lookin' for your love, I end up gettin' lost (Gettin' lost)
'Cause you still playin' games, but with a different ball (Different ball)
If you wasn't into me, why would you get involved?
Like when you don't like the song, you just cut me off
[Chorus]
Tell me why I gotta fight for your attention
And why the fuck I gotta yell for you to listen?
You all gassed up and that's the reason that I'm distant (Distant)
It's like we live in two different dimensions (I don't know)
Shit, it's crazy to think I even existed
In that self-centered world that you live in (You live in)
I'm heartbroken and I'm still tryna fix it
Knowing that love kills and it never leaves a witness
Shit, I wonder why I ended up alone (Alone)
Why do memories stay when people don't? (They don't)
And when I'm callin' you, you ain't pick up the phone
Knowin' you my weakness, but you force me to be strong
Bad real estate, girl, you put me in a bad place
And then you throw salt on me thinkin' that it'd add taste
This was really your decision, I ain't have say
But you just dumped me like a cig in an ashtray
