It was quite tough to make the call
It's not your fault you were involved
I wrote down words that I wanted to say
But when I saw your face, I was drawn a blank

I do not know
I'll make it up as I go
I don't feel used
But you rub salt in the wounds
I can't rewind

You do this shit every time (time)
Wasting mine

You're not my baby
Not my hun
Not my sugar
Or my only one
You're my nothing
You're my night
Pack them toys little boy
We are done

You wanted out at the clock of dawn
It's not my fault that she was comfortable
I wish you the best, I hope you catch on
Even with magic dust, it wouldn't be enough

I do not know
I'll make it up as I go
You may think I'm cruel
But you rub salt in the wounds
I can't rewind
You do this shit every time
Wasting mine

You're not my baby
Not my hun
Not my sugar
Or my only one
You're my nothing
You're my night
Pack them toys little boy
We are done

My nothing
You're my night
Pack them toys little boy
Get the fuck out with them
