[Intro]
I do it 'cause I'm bored
I do it 'cause I'm bored (bored)
[Verse 1]
I'm on the way to your place
Smell like temptation, so close you can taste it
Wicked games, tears can stain
I know you want me, I don't feel the same
[Pre-Chorus]
Dead roses, pick them from your garden
Love letters, threw them in the garbage
Brooklyn baby, we're dearly departed
I don't fall in love
[Chorus]
I'm just bored
Self-absorbed
Rip your heart out with my teeth
And spit the blood out on the floor
Oh Lord, say "I'm yours"
I’ll be at the altar, whisper "I don't love you anymore"
[Post-Chorus]
I do it 'cause I'm bored
I do it 'cause I'm bored
[Verse 2]
Bites on your neck, you're obsessed
Picture me naked, but I'll keep you waiting
Cross on your chest, don't confess
Looks like heaven but it brings you pain
[Pre-Chorus]
Dead roses, pick them from your garden
Love letters, threw them in the garbage
Brooklyn baby, we're dearly departed
I don't fall in love
[Chorus]
I'm just bored
Self-absorbed
Rip your heart out with my teeth
And spit the blood out on the floor
Oh Lord, say "I'm yours"
I’ll be at the altar, whisper "I don't love you anymore"
[Post-Chorus]
I do it 'cause I'm bored
I do it 'cause I'm bored
[Chorus]
I'm just bored
Self-absorbed
Rip your heart out with my teeth
And spit the blood out on the floor
Oh Lord, say "I'm yours"
I’ll be at the altar, whisper "I don't love you anymore"
[Post-Chorus]
I do it 'cause I'm bored
I do it 'cause I'm bored
Bored was written by Ari Abdul & Thomas LaRosa & Kinetics & Larzz Principato.
Bored was produced by Larzz Principato.
Although someone is confessing their feelings, they’re rejected. Roses which symbolize love are dead in the song, which represents the dead love in the situation. Bored is an anti-love song about not reciprocating the same feelings someone has for you.
