Don't Try 04:31
I think that you got handsome written all about, (You) got me thinking over all the things I try And when you're lying everywhere and all the time Then I remember all the things I hate about me, Don't try to make me see what I despise And yes we do create our little paradise I'm trying to figure out I'm looking all over and tryna catch a smile Cause this shit's been on my mind But I don't think you really get a second try Don't try, Don't pick up the phone, Just stay with me at home And don't give into that, Don't give into that Don't try, Don't pick up the phone, Just stay with me at home Y'all made me think about a lot lately I'm scared I'm missing out on everything The thought of revolution swept you off and made you bitter Jealous of the lies you saw out there in Lima I'll confess to being guilty on charges of mass confusion Hell I'll even admit to using filters on my faces but so what And I've been, I be, I be, I be missing I lost all the confidence I never had and it is real sad And I'm, and I'm, and I'm, and I'm hoping To find it back where it was never let it go cause that would be sad Don't try, (Don't pick up the phone) I said don't pick up the phone (Just stay with me at home) Just stay with me at home Don't try, Don't pick up the phone Just stay with me at home And I've been constantly thriving and struggling trying not to live the goddamn life, According to the you-know-what's and who-knows-when And it probably won't stop until you never let it (get) in Cause it started from everywhere social media's nightmare, I wish we could go back that'd make one less billionaire Strangling puppets and acting like it's fair, Human rights violations but no Just close your eyes and it'll disappear Cumulus clouds, the sun is up and about But y'all be really starring at a screen and bedroom ceiling, I thought that lockdown and insanity would make them people see the worth of the simple things bless our planet let it be Cause they want the fame minus the blame, They seek the shiny and poshy but never stick to the plan Desire public to worship without secondary train of thoughts, Bullies will bully just get over, this (is) a fucking plot Y'all really sure we're cool with the chosen track Little kids are killing themselves and no one even reacted Better just thrive in the crap, or be on top of it all Hey Karen look at the view, I'm so happy with my new shoes Okay well think about a thing, the little girl whose messed up skin is burning So you could buy those insta clothes you wanted bad But you don't wanna see that, cause it might make you cry And the 40 dollar liner you might have to reapply But don't get me wrong, I'm probably talking to myself You probably are getting mad But it's just my ego and nonsense talking crap, getting jealous Trying to cover up the fact that I have insecurities So I'm projecting like an ass I'm not even mad at us, I'm mad at myself Cuz took me that fucking long to cut the bullshit and realize That I should be better, no I should do better I'll shut my ego up next time and write a love letter Don't try Don't pick up the phone Stay with me at home Don't try Don't pick up the phone Stay with me at home

Addiction 02:55
Life goes and, makes you sad It's diligent, but kills you somehow And you never know it yet But it kinda sucks to be alive Because you get (to) some place Whining about the things you like Then someone hurts you so bad You realize it keeps coming back Cry to yourself each night It might be that you should fly I called you up last night I was feeling bad Cause I wanted to get to know you better (wanted to get to know you better) You might just take my life At least you make it bad But I'll keep coming back to this addiction I'll keep coming back, back, back to this addiction I'll keep coming back, back, back to this addiction I'll keep coming back to this addiction Don't pretend, you heard it But choose the easy path and say that I'm crazy Why don't you give it up, I've had enough I'll get drunk, cause I'm starting to lose my mind Oh and I just wanna be sad (I just wanna be) So leave me here and let time Change my mind oh Magical lie will hide But the bigger collide each time Makes me wanna fly, oh I called you up last night I was feeling bad Cause I wanted to get to know you better (wanted to get to know you better) You might just take my life At least you make it bad But I'll keep coming back to this addiction I'll keep coming back, back, back to this addiction I'll keep coming back, back, back to this addiction I'll keep coming back to this addiction I'll keep coming back, back, back to this addiction I'll keep coming back, back, back to this addiction I'll keep coming back to this addiction

Stand By 02:44
I fell for you one time So I'll be on stand by I fell for you one time I know I fell for you one time But that's what it takes to make me blind And maybe one day, we'll get to figure it out Until then I'll have you on my mind So I'll be on standby I don't know that I'm good for you I'll wait for my reply And I don't think you can take the truth Hope you realize, that you don't care for me as much as I would like So, I'll say goodbye, bye Yeah I'll say goodbye (I know I fell for you) I guess it's over now that I've met you, yeah (I know I fell for you) I'd really hate for me to love somebody new, yeah (I know I fell for you) You will never get my time (time) So I'll be on standby I'll wait for my reply Hope you realize, that you don't care for me as much as I would like So I'll say goodbye, bye Yeah I'll say goodbye (You know I already forgot you)

Wonder 02:39
I don't understand why you're Trippin over cause I've been giving like and time Waiting for a sign, for you to take me on a ride But now I feel alone missing your eyes And I don't want it to go I've been contemplating passing by But that's really not my style I got things I need to do and I'll easily get over you So will you be coming back? (oh why) I need a running gag I gotta waste time (waste time) And, whatever you like Whatever you want Better get it done I don't understand why you (Why you're not tryna make me waste my time) Oh, cause I feel disdain (Why you're not tryna make me waste my time) Yeah I feel disdain And I feel disdain, But I gotta see it through your eyes (I'm trying not to wonder) And I feel disdain, But I gotta see it through your eyes (And I feel disdain but I'm trying not to wonder) I'm trying not to wonder (And I feel disdain but I gotta see it through your eyes) And I feel disdain And I feel disdain (And I feel disdain but I'm trying not to wonder) And I feel disdain but I gotta see it through your eyes And I feel disdain but I gotta see it through your eyes
