Mad
Jhyve Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Any given day you could find me
Sipping lemonade
Lighter than a breeze
Laid in summer shade
You′d say boy he had it made
But nah nah nah

Truth is these days I'm

Locked up in my mind
Drinking all the time
Wishing that u tried
A little more for you and I

So I threw out your clothes
I packed all ur dishes
Cept the iron skillet
I like cooking wit it
And smashing ur trinkets
I thought I′d feel better after
But I feel worse

Fuck, fuck you
You won't find another
Treat u like I do
But you still
Fucked that up too
Wish I could take back the times that we had
But I can't
So I stay mad
Fuck

All my friends
Tell me
Try and get some space
Maybe meditate
But they ain′t see the speed
That u found someone to replace me
I cant say that I
Didn′t see the signs
Calls that got the declined
Swearing u were mine
Felt like Fuckin idiot the whole time

So I threw out ur clothes
I packed all ur dishes
Cept the iron skillet
I like cooking wit it
And smashing ur trinkets
I thought I'd feel better after
Feel worse

Fuck, fuck you
You won′t find another
Treat u like I do
But you still
Fucked that up too
Wish I could take back the times that we had
But I can't
So I say
Fuck, fuck you
You won′t find another
Treat u like I do
But you still
Fucked that up too
Wish I could take back the times that we had
But I can't

So I stay mad
Fuck
