Mending Friendships
Iamsu! Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

These things still run across my mind
I'm more aware this time
I can't give away my secrets
I'm so selfish, I must keep them
They all teamed up against me
You belong to me, I'm stingy
Awkward texts from him, you're cringing
Why must he be so persistent?

Leave it all to my god, I seek no vengeance
Never did too well with mending friendships
Leave it all to my god, I seek no vengeance
Never did too well with

These things still run across my mind
I'm more focused this time
I can't give away my secrets
I'm so selfish, I must keep them
They all teamed up against me
You belong to me, I'm stingy
Awkward texts from him, you're cringing
Why must he be so persistent?





Leave it all to my god, I seek no vengeance
Never did too well with mending friendships
