Uh
Feeling lost
Feeling lost
(Feeling lost)
I don’t feel at home anymore
(I don’t feel at home)
Feeling lost
(Feeling lost)
This was not what I was looking for
(na, na, na, na)
Bitch, you’re crazy
Ain’t no sweet lady
Like you pretend to be
My heart don’t deserve it
I guess if I can’t dazzle them with my brilliance
I will baffle them with my bullshit
I wanna know how you got my new number (Ohh)
Wanna know how you got my new number (Ohh)
Wanna know why you can’t let go
Why you won’t stop blowing up my phone
(Fuck, bitch!)
Why can’t you leave me alone?
Thought I escaped your heart of stone
But I guess I was wrong (Yeah)
Now I will make it known (Ouu)
I don’t wanna be around you
Girl, I want you gone
Ouu, I am hoping that our memories fade overtime (oh, yeah baby)
I don’t wanna remember how you always played the victim all the time (na, na, na, na)
My friends would ask me if I was doing okay
And I would say that I am doing just fine (fine)
But I was dying on the inside (inside)
Sleepless nights (sleepless nights)
In a room with a devil in disguise
I wanna know how you got my new number (Ohh)
Wanna know how you got my new number (Ohh)
Wanna know why you can’t let go
Why you won’t stop blowing up my phone
(Fuck, bitch!)
Why can’t you leave me alone?
Thought I escaped your heart of stone
But I guess I was wrong (Yeah)
Now I will make it known (Ouu)
I don’t wanna be around you
Girl, I want you gone
Aye, Aye, eh
Na, na, na, na
Ah, Ah, Ah
Eh
Aye, Aye, eh
Ahh
Ah, Ah, Ah
Eh, Eh
Why can’t you, uh?
Why, why can’t you uhh?
Why can’t you uh?
Why, why can’t you uhh?
Why can’t you, uh?
Why can’t you just let me go?
Why can’t you uh?
Why can’t you just let me go?
