식케이 (Sik-K) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You think you broke my heart but you didn't
Maybe I have to write that song so that you get it
You said you miss me but it's too late to admit it
I blocked you because I want to end it
I I I don't need you bitch
I I I don't need you bitch
I I I don't need you bitch
I I I don't need you bitch
You thought that I wouldn't resist
You thought without you I wouldn't exist
My life's better now oh yeah it is
My life's better now without you bitch
I can forgive but I can't forget
So I don't wanna waste my time thinking of you in my bed
I went the right way but you hope that I regret
Why should I be with you when I'm good on my own instead
I don't need you babe it's all over
Was high of your love but now I am sober
Thinking of you made me wanna die faster
But it's in the past because without you I feel better
I I I don't need you bitch
You thought that I wouldn't resist
You thought without you I wouldn't exist but I don't need you bitch
Let's be friends you told me let's be friends
I don't wanna be your friend don't wanna say that again
And you say that it doesn't hurt but I know that it only gets worse
At first, I gave you everything because
I thought you and me would be a thing you thought
I'd be too dumb but I knew you were lying
I won't take you back you can stop begging
I hated it every time we kissed
Being free was the only thing that I missed
Breaking up with you was on my checklist
And that's why I don't need you bitch
I I I don't need you bitch
I I I don't need you bitch
I I I don't need you bitch
I I I don't need you bitch
You thought that I wouldn't resist
You thought without you I wouldn't exist
My life's better now oh yeah it is
My life's better now without you bitch
I I I don't need you bitch




You thought that I wouldn't resist
You thought without you I wouldn't exist but I don't need you bitch
