Canon
Academy of St-Martin-in-the-field Lyrics

Sometimes I feel I'll never learn
Despite my experiences, I struggle to change and grow.

Just another canon event
Another repetitive situation that follows a predictable pattern.

Yeah I swear that I'll never learn
I can confidently say that I find it difficult to change.

Just another canon event
Yet another occurrence that feels predetermined.

Yeah I'll fill the void that you missing
I will try to compensate for what you lack or desire.

I know I'm nothing to you
I am aware that I hold no significance in your life.

Yeah you can't find no peace if you can't love yourself
Without self-love, inner tranquility remains out of reach.

I know I'm nothing to you
I am certain of my insignificance in your eyes.

I get put up in a backburner I'm such a fool
I am often disregarded or overlooked, demonstrating my own foolishness.

Got me fucked up in my mind I don't know what to do
Confusion and distress cloud my thoughts, leaving me unsure of my next steps.

Fuck it, I don't like to think
I choose to avoid deep contemplation or introspection.

I'm only tryna move
My purpose is to keep progressing forward.

I'll always be around but I just need a better you
I may stay close, but I desire an improved version of you.

I'm better than all of your options it ain't hard to choose
I believe I surpass your other choices, making the decision simple.

You in your mind way too damn often
You dwell on your thoughts excessively.

You ain't even see the way I'm falling
You fail to notice how I am struggling or declining emotionally.

You just lied to my face and I thought it, was true
You deceived me, and I accepted your false statements as reality.

Now I'll feel nothing
After being let down, I am left emotionally numb.

Why was I falling for you
I question why I allowed myself to develop feelings for you.

You the right one in the wrong time
You are the ideal person for me, but our timing is off.

I'd give you validation
I would offer you reassurance or approval.

But girl you impatient
However, you lack patience.

You like the fact I'm waiting
You appreciate that I am willing to wait for you.

But I ain't got the patience
Unfortunately, I do not possess the patience required.

Keep saying you're fine
You continuously claim to be okay.

Girl it's me no replacement
I cannot be substituted or replaced in your life.

Girl you know I ain't basic
You understand that I am not ordinary or unremarkable.

Yeah you fumbled on the greatest
You missed out on something truly exceptional.

And now I'm hoping that you play this
I hope you listen to this message and understand.

Waiting on a feeling I ain't ever getting back
Anticipating a sentiment that will never return.

Got me in my feelings imma find my way back
Emotions overwhelm me, but I will recover and return.

Go ahead tell yourself you need him imma focus on my bag
Feel free to convince yourself that you require him, while I prioritize my own pursuits.

I know I'll be in your mind and I can see it way too fast
I am confident that you will think of me frequently and predict it will happen quickly.

Wasting all my time I ain't ever getting back
Regretting how I spent my time, knowing I cannot reclaim it.

Only knew you for a minute but I'm fucking with you bad
Despite our brief acquaintance, I am strongly drawn to you.

I get lost up in your eyes feel your touch and see the past
Your gaze and touch captivate me, evoking memories of bygone times.

I guess I'm not over it
I admit that I have not moved past this emotional experience.
