Shutter Island
Jessie Reyez Lyrics

The goodbyes are getting old
Repeating this process of saying goodbye is getting tiring and old.

Next time you can go ahead and go
The next time we part ways, it's entirely up to you to leave.

I'm tired of begging you to love me
I'm not going to beg for your love anymore. I'm tired of not being valued.

Goodness, gracious, you're amazing
You used to make me feel special and amazing.

According to you, I'm a lucky lady
You used to make me feel like I was fortunate to have you in my life.

So why'd you lie to me?
If you always thought I was lucky to have you, why did you lie to me?

Why do I cry to sleep?
I feel so hurt and betrayed by you that I can't sleep without crying.

Goodness, gracious, I'm replaceable
You don't see me as someone who's worth keeping around. You don't value me as an individual.

You say that I'm too crazy
You use my emotions against me and call me crazy when I express them.

I guess you were right
I acknowledge that you were right to leave me because I deserve better than how you treated me.

My straight jacket's custom-made though (with fucking diamonds)
I identify myself as different from the norm and enjoy that about me, even if the price of it is a mental health condition.

My straight jacket's custom-made though (with fucking rubies)
Expressing that even if others see her as crazy for expressing her emotions or struggles, she view herself as unique and valuable.

I'm crazy just like Galileo
Referencing that even people that seem different or “crazy”, they can actually be brilliant and ahead of their time.

You keep hitting, I've been bruised
Even though you keep hurting me, I still love you.

Holy field I can't hear you
Even though she is being harmed and mistreated, she feels like she cannot escape this relationship.

You're expecting me to say
You anticipate me asking you to stay.

Loco, please, please stay
Even though I'm not going to beg for your love anymore, I know I still want you to stay with me.

For a second I forgot I was a bad bitch
At some point, I forgot how awesome I am.

Begging you to stay became a habit
It has become an automatic response to ask you to stay even though you aren't worth it.

I know I can be better, needed practice
I acknowledge there are areas in my life that I can improve upon and that I'll work on that.

I'm tired of begging you to love me
I'm done fighting for a love that isn't worth my effort.

Goodness gracious, let's just break up
I think we should break up, truthfully.

I tried everything to save us
I put it all on the line, and I'm tired of trying to save us.

Every time you try to leave?
I feel insecure when you try to leave me, and that's not healthy.

Goodness, gracious, this relationship
This relationship has so much anger and resentment surrounding it that it's not worth the stress anymore.

Is full of so much hatred
There is so much anger and hatred within this relationship, and it's not worth it.

I guess you were right
You were right to leave because we were not good for each other.
