Through smooth vocals over a beat fusing EDM and R&B, blackbear tells a story of a particularly rough breakup and his search for the answers as to why she left him.
[Intro]
beartrap sound
[Verse 1]
Gettin' over you, movin' on, on, on
Lettin' go of you, movin' on, on, on
Can't seem to find the reasons why you're mad at me
Should've held on while you had me
[Pre-Chorus]
So tell me why it is you're moving
All the way to Portland?
Tell me why it's so important
I text you, you ignore it
It's useless, and it's boring
I'm unhappy in my foreign
Wanna find a cliff and floor it
You left me laid out on the floor
I didn't know, I didn't know
[Chorus]
You'd be the one, the one to ruin everything
You'd be the one, the one to ruin everything
You'd be the one, the one to ruin everything
The one to ruin, to ruin everything
[Verse 2]
Let you win the fights, let you lead me on
Learn to bite my tongue when I know you're wrong
Can't seem to fight the demons, and it's sad to see
The one you once held on to pack up and leave
[Pre-Chorus]
So tell me why it is you're moving
All the way to Portland?
Tell me why it's so important
I text you, you ignore it
It's useless, and it's boring
I'm unhappy in my foreign
Wanna find a cliff and floor it
You left me laid out on the floor
I didn't know, I didn't know
[Chorus]
You'd be the one, the one to ruin everything
You'd be the one, the one to ruin everything
You'd be the one, the one to ruin everything
The one to ruin, to ruin everything
[Bridge]
You'd be the one, the one to ruin everything
You'd be the one, the one to ruin everything
You'd be the one, the one to ruin everything
The one to ruin
[Chorus]
You'd be the one, the one to ruin everything
You'd be the one, the one to ruin everything
You'd be the one, the one to ruin everything
The one to ruin, to ruin everything

From an interview with Paper Magazine on August 31, 2018:
I feel like it’s a step in a new direction for me. It’s a little more grown up and my fans are growing up with me. I mean, it still has the blackbear angst, but it’s the kind of music I’ve been wanting to make my whole life. It’ll be the fir...
