[Verse 1]
Creepin' out the fog, I start to sense that something's wrong
My heart is racing fast and beating out of time
Driving me insane, why are you hardwired to my brain
While I just skip along and tell myself I'm fine?
[Chorus]
I liked you better when you weren't on my mind
I liked you better when you weren't on my mind
I liked you better when you weren't on my mind
I liked you better when you weren't on my mind
[Verse 2]
I thought of you again and I don't wanna tell my friends
Don't wanna scare 'em off and don't wanna be judged
But it's so fuckin' tiring being tired all the time
With no indication that it's ever gonna stop, it won't let up
[Chorus]
I liked you better when you weren't on my mind
I liked you better when you weren't on my mind
I liked you better when you weren't on my mind
I liked you better when you weren't on my mind
[Bridge]
I don't wanna concede that you'll never leave
Whether I like it or not
I wish I was strong
Yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
I liked you better when you weren't on my mind
I liked you better when you weren't on my mind
[Outro]
(I liked you better when you weren't on my mind)
Can you just get the fuck out of here
And let me get back to my day?
(I liked you better when you weren't on my mind)
Can you find another host or somethin'
And please be on your way?
(I liked you better when you weren't on my mind)
Thanks so much!
(I liked you better when you weren't on my mind)
Thank you so much!
When you weren't on my mind
Oi oi oi!
