I had to tell her, "Just stop messing with my head
And love me instead"
It's not official but I think it's common sense
Or am I insane?
I blew out the gaslight, now I feel a different way
I'll just love me instead
Love me instead
Love me instead
[Verse 1]
I like you, you like me
That's why I'm confused, I can't read the signs
So why you gotta treat me like this?
I just need to breathe so I don't go apeshit
When I wake up, I see you
At night in my dreams
Yeah that too and I
I just need some closure, can you hit my line, yeah?
[Chorus]
I had to tell her, "Just stop messing with my head
And love me instead"
It's not official but I think it's common sense
Or am I insane?
I blew out the gaslight, now I feel a different way
I'll just love me instead
Love me instead
Love me instead
[Verse 2]
Confused
I'm right here so what we gon' do
Act like there's something to lose
But there ain't none, but there ain't none
You really tryna (Waste my time)
I need to get you (Out my mind)
We'll break the cycle (In due time, in due time)
[Chorus]
I had to tell her, "Just stop messing with my head
And love me instead"
It's not official but I think it's common sense
Or am I insane?
I blew out the gaslight, now I feel a different way
I'll just love me instead
Love me instead
Love me instead
