Strawberry perfume, your scent, it makes me happy again
I know that you're wrong you don't need to pretend
Look past all my flaws never reaching the end
Perfect you're my all we ain't playing pretend

Run, till we knock 'em all over
Life's been good I've been looking for my clover
I can't live tomorrow if I'd stopped I'd be a loner
Thinking bout the past I ain't quitting till it's over

I've been tryna fix my shit, I'm just tryna make sense
Avoiding all the bad damn trips, I'm not tryna quit this
I'd be lying if I said I'm glad you're gone
Life feels so long when we can't play our songs

But time goes faster by my side
Tryna match all the feelings I love those highs
But I guess it pays off when we take our time
Writing bangers in the crib I'd love that life

I've been living life all alone
Waiting for you to call my phone, yeah
I'm just tryna live or I'll die
Couldn't find my phone cause I got too high

Strawberry perfume, your scent, it makes me happy again
I know that you're wrong you don't need to pretend
Look past all my flaws never reaching the end
Perfect you're my all we ain't playing pretend

Run, till we knock 'em all over
Life's been good I've been looking for my clover
I can't live tomorrow if I'd stopped I'd be a loner
Thinking bout the past I ain't quitting till it's over

I've been tryna fix my shit, I'm just tryna make sense
Avoiding all the bad damn trips, I'm not tryna quit this
I'd be lying if I said I'm glad you're gone
Life feels so long when we can't play our songs

now it's the end of the line :/
- the most massive thank you to @dezforman for helping me tell this story and to @bonddot for the mixing <3 love you guys fr

~ never been the type for confrontation 
i lost all my power, i can't even fake it
so complacent, no 
the way you worked your magic is so amazing 
i lost who i was, i got out of your gaze and now i'm saving me 
the odds had kept me from breathing 
i never tried to get even 
write about how i'm feeling 
to clear my mind, yeah im drawing the line 
stare at your likes and a view count 
all of our issues you drew out 
and i don't know what to do now
guess i gotta speak out 

i didn't mean to you love you 
i guess i kinda like the way that you would run to me 
i always hoped you come through
you kinda led me on and watched me drown in oceans deep
should have listened to all my friends 
cause you were using me for gain and i would play pretend, you were mine 
should have payed attention to the signs
now it's the end of the line 

thought about the night i left the station 
got off that train and left you all alone
oh how much did you grow?
the way you slipped back in, and got me again
i can't even shake you off
lost what i wanted, can't move all this weight, i failed in saving me 
is what we had really worth it?i
no need in tryna preserve it 
i know we're both probably hurting 
but it's easy sometimes, if you just drew the line 
fuck all the likes and the view counts
it's you and me that should figure it out 
and i don't know what to do now
guess i gotta stand my ground 

i didn't mean to you love you 
i guess i kinda like the way that you would run to me 
i always hoped you come through
you kinda led me on and watched me drown in oceans deep
should have listened to all my friends 
cause you were using me for gain and i would play pretend, you were mine 
should have payed attention to the signs
now it's the end of the line 

i didn't mean to love you 
in fact i never tried to 
but here we are, here we are ~

lyrics:

[intro]
‘Cause I don’t wanna talk
I’d rather die
Before I let you see the real me
You feel me?
I’ll let my other side conceal me
Then you’ll see
You gotta let me go 

[verse 1]
Optimism, ain’t that shit funny?
When the world we live in’s all 'bout the money
Money ultra rich own half of, won’t budge it at all
We turn to politicians, hope they’ll do something
Feigning altruism, but they do nothing
Crushing lives as they take rights from the people I love
So they’ll say “what do we do?”
As if there’s something to choose
We’re living lives of abuse
All at the hands of a few
I’m asking “what do I do?”
I guess I thought I could choose
Between the art and the views
A stable life to pursue
Obtuse, reduced my character

[chorus 1]
‘Cause I don’t wanna talk
I’d rather die
Before I let you see the real me
You feel me?
I’ll let my other side conceal me
Then you’ll see
You gotta let me go 

[verse 2]
Jokes on us
They don’t give a fuck about nothing
At all if it don't benefit them all ways
I’ll say what's on my mind but it’ll get lost
Get lost if you ain’t picking it up
The thing 'bout me is I already lost
I dream 'bout peace and a renaissance
I can’t show more than I'm letting on
Just know I tried for you
Opened my eyes to this industry I was mortified
They tryna trip you and fuck you up on the borderlines
Think imma burn all my bridges and my important ties
I hold my tongue
They hold all the money money
Go round me used to wish they loved me loved me
Oh I know better than that now
Oh I know better than that now

[chorus 2]
‘Cause I don’t wanna talk
I’d rather die
Before I let you see the real me
You feel me?
I’ll let my other side conceal me
Then you’ll see
You gotta let me go
Look
'Cause I don’t wanna talk I'd rather
Die before I let you see the
Before I let you see the
Person I’ve become
In my pursuit to be someone
I shoulda fuckin known
You gotta let me go

[outro]
I tried to let you go
But empathy means nothing when you're
Scared to be alone
Pick up the fucking phone

lyrics:

[spoken]
i was very frantic before because i was really scared that i was going to become irrelevant
and if i didn't get a lot of views any time i posted anything then that means i'm wasting my time
and that everybody who i'm friends with who's in college or whatever-
if they graduate before i'm successful
then i'm a loser
and then that feels bad
because then i'm...
who am i?
i work at-
i work a minimum wage job
and if i tell anybody that i do music
they're gonna probably assume
"he's probably really bad"
yeah...
which is what i assume other people think when i say that
so i think a lot of people didn't-
i didn't have the qualities that were necessary for it to become-
to feel-
to feel genuine for other people
yeah...
when i was doing that stuff i was really frantic in terms of, like
wanting to be something
and that's a shortcut for sure

lyrics:

[intro]
it doesn’t make a difference
'cause even when I fucked it up you’d fix it
and ever since you left I thought you’d miss this
guess that’s not true
well maybe I was too persistent
but something ‘bout your laugh had me addicted
just make sure when my story’s told it begins with
and ends with you

[verse 1]
tried to keep what’s wrong ‘bout me left unknown
i was scared if they knew me, then I’d truly be left alone
just wanna give you everything, but my repressing kept me from growth
so I won’t hold it against you
if you detest my bones
just hope you grieve at the thought of me

[chorus 1]
it doesn’t make a difference
'cause even when I fucked it up you’d fix it
and ever since you left I thought you’d miss this
guess that’s not true
(and i don't wanna die, but maybe it's easier)
well maybe I was too persistent
but something ‘bout your laugh had me addicted
just make sure when my story’s told it begins with
and ends with you
(i pushed and they folded, my body was molded wrong)

[bridge]
just wish we had more time
but my body’s turned to rust
weakened spine; you regard me with disgust
you’re not mine, broken down from my mistrust
you were right
i’m not the person i thought I’d be
i’m not fine
tried to pretend that i was
i took pride, thought i was helping but i fucked
your whole life, was misguided by my lust
for your eyes
i’m not the person you wanna see

[chorus 2]
it doesn’t make a difference
'cause even when I fucked it up you’d fix it
and ever since you left I thought you’d miss this

lyrics:

[intro]
Spent my whole life deciding
On what I wanna do
So why am I feeling like this
I swear I thought I knew

[verse 1]
My eggs are in the basket
My chips spilled on the floor
I tried to bribe the dealer
But he won't give me no more
I stole some from the others
And booked it for the door
They took me down
And and spit me out
To where I was before
It was a stupid reason
To let it hold me back
I know it hurts your feelings
To hear me talk like that
Not here to make excuses
For what it is I lack
Just tired of feeling useless
Fuck, I'm so good at that

[chorus 1]
Spent my whole life deciding
On what I wanna do
So why am I feeling like this
Like I can barely move?
Try suffering in silence
The weight would bury you
Trust me I'm tryna like it
I swear I thought I knew

[verse 2]
I'm not one for power trips
But I know I'd trade it all for this
I was blind to have faith in roads I picked
Now I'm dying to see the end
And I tried to be the one you needed
I was trying to be something rare
Tell me how to make you feel like he did
God, it hurts to be so unaware
It was a miscalculation
An unfit generation
In a shit situation
With our lives all fueled by big corporations
To give means for creation
That demands innovation
Guess I had no chance from the start
Got stabbed through the heart
They ripped me apart
By spending my youth telling me I was smart
Dissuading my art
In favor of charts and graphs
And corporate plaques
No regard

[bridge]
I do not follow the path
Watch me say no to the cash
You give it and I'll give it back
Can't beat me in soul that you lack, yeah
This shit is a lot to unpack
The odds will forever be stacked
Don't tell me the code can't be cracked
'Cause this shit is all that I have

I do not follow the path (and I tried to be the one you needed)
Watch me say no to the cash
You give it and I'll give it back (I was trying to be something rare)
Can't beat me in soul that you lack, yeah
This shit is a lot to unpack (tell me how to make you feel like he did)
The odds will forever be stacked
Don't tell me the code can't be cracked (God, it hurts to be so unaware)
