[Verse 1]
I don't understand why

Watch me as I go and separate the ones

And slowly counting down my body weight

[Verse 2]
I can do things
No human can do
I can doubt myself and then I'll doubt you
That's nothing new
[Chorus]

That I am made to love and hate
And slowly counting down my body weight

That I am made to love and hate
And slowly counting down my body weight
I'm tired, I'm tired

It covers my skin, the earth pulls me back
How about that
[Chorus]
Watch me as I go and separate the ones
That I am made to love and hate
And slowly counting down my body weight
I'm tired
Watch me as I go and separate
The ones that I am made to love and hate
And slowly counting down my body weight
I'm tired
