Verse 1 we've been getting tongue tied, and cross-eyed by tv light like a movie screen you can see me right? I'm choking inside coz I don't really do this girl no it took me one night so I won't lie set myself up fucking right? am I fucking high? I'm trying to get by in this cold cold world oh I been around long enough to know that someone like you is hard to find now that I'm here I know that it's only a matter of time Chorus You made sure that I was in love with you But you wouldn't like that shit if it got done to you Losing all my patience, I've changing all my ways And ever since you came along I gave it up for you Doing everything to make you comfortable you took it all coz you know there's no substitute when I hit you with that look, it wouldn't take long to get shook doing things right out the book so I could fuck with you Verse 2 (The beat gets a bit darker here, heavy 808s) Now you're sleeping on my left side, a ghost line In the middle of the bed Got me checking on my timeline, a bad sign Replaying what you said You like to mess with my head girl Yeah I gave you everything you wanted from the jump Now I’m staring at the ceiling, feeling numb You take a piece of me and leave me in the dust Calling it love when it's only just lust In this cold, cold world Oh I been around long enough to see that You only hit me when your lights go down Now that I'm here I see that I’m just a shadow when you're not around Chorus You made sure that I was in love with you But you wouldn't like that shit if it got done to you Losing all my patience, I've changing all my ways And ever since you came along I gave it up for you Doing everything to make you comfortable you took it all coz you know there's no substitute when I hit you with that look, it wouldn't take long to get shook doing things right out the book so I could fuck with you Bridge (Beat strips back to just a filtered synth and a snapping snare) Did you get what you came for? Leaving your clothes on my floor Locking me out of your heart, but you're keeping the keys to my door Yeah, you love the attention But hate when I mention That you’re the one driving us straight to the crash And I’m just a witness to all of the damage Breakdown (The beat cuts completely, vocal is dry and intimate for the first two lines, then a massive bass drop hits on the third line) You wouldn't like it... No, you wouldn't like it if I did it to you. (BASS DROP / Heavy, distorted beat) So what if I do?! What if I leave?! What if I take back the air that you breathe? You took it all, left me with nothing Now you're the one who is begging for something! Look at me now, look at the mess I gave it up, but I'm giving you less! Chorus You made sure that I was in love with you But you wouldn't like that shit if it got done to you Losing all my patience, I've changing all my ways And ever since you came along I gave it up for you Doing everything to make you comfortable you took it all coz you know there's no substitute when I hit you with that look, it wouldn't take long to get shook doing things right out the book so I could fuck with you Outro (The TV light motif comes back—ambient hum, music fading out) Cross-eyed by the TV light... Yeah. You can see me right? Coz I don't really do this, girl. But I did it for you. (Scoff/Short laugh) Look what I did for you. (Sound of a TV turning off / Static pop to silence)
