Boy, i can't keep doing this, it's gotta stop
My temper's filled with air and it's about to pop
Mentally, i'm down to earth, but you're on mars
Glance up at cloudy silver linings, wonderin' where you are
I think you and i both know that this won't work
(this won't work)
Tourniquet blotting the wounds don't stop the hurt
(no, it don't stop, no, it don't stop the hurt, now)
Heart bleeding out, better mend this before it gets worse
(mend this up)
Patch it up with me, baby, i'm the one you need, not her
(baby, i'm the one you need)
I know what you've been up to
You're sneaking in at two
Two in the morning 'cuz you think that i'd be snoozing, but i
I've seen those ten missed calls
That lipstick on the collar of your white shirt
That you claim was some cheap ass wine (trifling ass bitch)
I'm not falling for your lie
My momma warned me that you're a pretty shady guy
But i didn't listen
Ignoring all the red flags that i saw waving on the coast
Yeah, i dove right in, but i...
I think you and i both know that this won't work
(this won't work, no this won't work)
Tourniquet blotting the wounds don't stop the hurt
(no, it don't stop, no, it don't stop the hurt, no)
Heart bleeding out, better mend this before it gets worse
(better mend this, better fix this up)
Patch it up with me, baby, i'm the one you need, not her
(baby, i'm the one you need)
Spent ten years of my life writing a whole album's worth of lessons learned
But that can't save me now from letting you break this heart you never earned
Confident attitude, but i knew exactly what you'd do from the second you opened your mouth
Ignored my intuition while you made your cruel decision to lead me on as it all went south, no
Dirty talk with some guy that slid up on my insta story
Wish it was you, but you would rather ignore me
You feel no remorse, so i guess that i should feel the same
We're not together, but you know i don't want it to be that way
Kissed some guy at the club and you told me you felt guilty
I guess not bad enough to where you would wanna be with me
Friends told me ""walter, if he wanted to he would""
But they never saw you in the way that i could
Arm around me in public, and you're calling me ""baby""
But everyone can see the naive fool you made me
Front row seats booked as i watched all of our hopes for us withered
Introduced me to your friends just to leave me on delivered
Want you to miss me like i do you, hear my voice when i'm not around (baby, i still hear your voice)
Won't sleep until these pained words bury your heart six feet underground (you leave me no other choice)
I know i should have some message that makes me sound much stronger
But i'd go through it all again, 'cuz that means being with you longer
I think you and i both know that this won't work
(gotta put myself, gotta put myself first)
Tourniquet blotting the wounds don't stop the hurt
(no, it don't stop, no, it don't stop the hurt, no)
Heart bleeding out, better mend this before it gets worse
(got me fallin' apart, boy)
Patch it up with me, baby, i'm the one you need, not her"
