[Verse 1]
Seven seconds on my phone
No more, but I still changed
Separate lives in separate homes
No love, but I feel things
[Chorus]
There's a war outside
I keep my windows closed and my curtains shut
Tired of tellin' lies
Nothin' matters anyways so it all seems dumb
[Verse 2]

I still remember when we were naked
You'd never blame me becausе we're young
You'd nevеr blame me in case I make it
Thinking of summer under the sun
Drinking Prosecco out on your patio
I know you'll hate me when it's all done
Running out of time on my Casio

There's a war outside
I keep my windows closed and my curtains shut
Tired of tellin' lies
Nothin' matters anyways so it all seems dumb
[Verse 3]
It don't matter what the weather say
I see through it like it's cellophane
It don't matter what they televise
Nobody could ever empathize
I guess I just gotta hold on
[Chorus]
There's a war outside
I keep my windows closed and my curtains shut
Tired of tellin' lies
Nothin' matters anyways so it all seems dumb
