Overdose

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Pouring out the 40
Pour me up another one, i’m alright
Not the type to party
Think i be the only one here, tonight
And she keep playing games with my head
She saying what you here for
I got things in my head
That’s making everybody fearful

Oh love, won’t you run from me
I swear it’s in my mind
30’s in my system
When she calling my phone up
Dirty sprite that actavis
That’s making shorty wanna
Look me up and down and ask
How the fuck do you manage
You’ll never meet someone like me
Cause bitch i’m way to damaged, woah
It’s all in my head
The way that you lie
You give me that smile
And then say that were fine
But i’m not to sure
I’ve been here before
I don’t know what works no more
And i’ve been wondering where you’ll go
When you move on
When you move on
And i was hoping that you’d hold on
To things that we’ve done
To think that you’re gone
The things that you said
Don’t know where you went
The time that i spent working on you instead
I’m on my own
I’m getting cold but i’ll take two more just to overdose
It’s all in my head
The way that you lie
You give me that smile
And then say that were fine
But i’m not to sure
I’ve been here before
I don’t know what works no more
Pouring out the 40
Pour me up another one, i’m alright
Not the type to party
Think i be the only one here, tonight
And she keep playing games with my head
She saying what you here for
I got things in my head
That’s making everybody fearful

Oh love, won’t you run from me
I swear it’s in my mind
