“Friends”

[Verse 1]
They don't take me serious
But they supposed to be my friend
With me 'til the end
They don't even need me
So how did this begin?
I cannot pretend like this is not affecting me
And I believe that I don't need 'em
But now they callin' again
Choosin' when they are a friend
Why am I so loyal to the ones who don't treat me right?
Y'all don't even know the reasons why I can't sleep at night
But I can tell you
How you been, what you doin', who you wit', who you been screwin'
Y'all don't even know just one thing
And you be like i-i-i, me-me-me
Let me tell you a story
You stay draining all my energy

[Chorus]
So don't act surprised when I'm movin' different
I've been here before
So I know what this is
It ain't been the same
And I can't ignore it
I'll be better for it
So let's explore this
I can't make no one change
That's just the way that this goes
I've been here before
So it's just something I know
And I can't explain all of the pain
So I'm movin' on
I hope that y'all do the same

[Verse 2]
So here's the thing
When we talk I feel like I can't say a thing
Especially when it feels like you aren't listening
Are you even listening?
Because I know that you can hear me
Funny 'cause I have a better time when I'm alone
I only ever hang because you always hit my phone
But you stay hittin' me talkin' about the same shit
I don't think that this is something I can deal with
So you should just
Go do you, while I do me
Preserving all my energy
Cause I'm the only one who cares for it
Please don't ever ask me why
'Cause If I try
You wouldn't reply
And I'm not really here for it

[Chorus]
So don't act surprised when I'm movin' different
I've been here before
So I know what this is
It ain't been the same
And I can't ignore it
I'll be better for it
So let's explore this
I can't make no one change
That's just the way that this goes
I've been here before
So it's just something I know
And I can't explain all of the pain
So I'm movin' on
I hope that y'all do the same

[Verse 3]
If these roles were reversed
I'd be singing a different verse
I'd be sayin' Y'all are great
In reality, Y'all ain't
This shit is so rehearsed
So I know what happens next
I'm done breakin' my neck
I just want some respect
Y'all be so damn fake
The universe keeps showin' me signs
I think it's fate
Y'all stay talkin' 'bout random shit
I can't relate
I just need a break, I just need some time
Please don't act surprised

[Chorus x2]
So don't act surprised when I'm movin' different
I've been here before
So I know what this is
It ain't been the same
And I can't ignore it
I'll be better for it
So let's explore this
I can't make no one change
That's just the way that this goes
I've been here before
So it's just something I know
And I can't explain all of the pain
So I'm movin' on
I hope that y'all do the same
