[Intro]
I think I'm finally over you (Over you)
Ever since you left (Ooh)
I won't waste any more of my breath
Over my love
I think I'm finally over you (Over you)
Ever since you left (Ooh)
I won't waste any more of my breath
Over my love
I think I finally—
[Verse 1]
I’m the water that waits outside
I'm the one that erased that light again
I was trying to hold that fire
A matchstick and liquor, to take a while
I was part of a single line
Was born in the belly of uncut lies
The lie wasn't holding a paper knife
The youth wasn't coming 'til afterlife, now
[Chorus]
All this timе, I'm loosening again
Letting go (I think I'm finally)
All this time I'm loosеning again (Wasting my time)
Letting go
[Post-Chorus]
Over you (Over you)
Ever since you left (Ooh)
I won't waste any more of my breath
Over my love
I think I'm finally over you (Over you)
Ever since you left (Ooh)
I won't waste any more of my breath
Over my love
[Verse 2]
I’ve been lying to ghosts to hide
I’ve been running inside that lie
The lie wasn’t trying to hold that knife
You think anybody would help that guy?
I was part of a rapture tribe
Was born in the tread of a worn down tire
The lie’s looking more like a plastic lie
The truth wasn’t coming 'til afterlife, now
[Chorus]
All this time I’m loosening again
Letting go
All this time I’m loosening again
Letting go
[Bridge]
Finally, I find you underneath the final say
Punching holes inside the pictures, laugh a while, then walk away
Certainly, I’m frozen trying to throw together days
The holes inside the pictures, wait a while and walk away
And you said
[Chorus]
All this time I'm loosening again
Letting go
All this time I'm loosening again (Wasting my time)
Letting go
[Post-Chorus]
I think I'm finally over you (Over you)
Ever since you left (Ooh)
I won't waste any more of my breath
Over my love
I think I'm finally over you (Over you)
Ever since you left (Ooh)
I won't waste any more of my breath
Over my love
