Hahahahahahahahaha
Hahaha

Here we go again,
Another low again (Another low again)
Here we go again,
Another high again (Another high again)
Here we go again,
Another low again (Another low again)
Here we go again, sheβ€²s rollercoasterin'
Here we go again,
Another low again (Low-ow-ow-ow)
Here we go again,
Another high again (High-igh-igh-igh)
Here we go again,
Another low again (Low-ow-ow-ow)
Here we go again, sheβ€²s rollercoasterin'

I don't wanna be medicated (β€²Cated)
I donβ€²t wanna be sedated,
Rather have you call me crazy
Lately, I been runnin'
Low on patience (Patience)
I canβ€²t see what I been chasin',
I just know my thoughts are racinβ€²
Lookin' β€²round like,
"How'd I get this faded?" (Faded)
Knowin' that Iβ€²m complicated,
My past got me feelinβ€² jaded
Lately, I been runnin' low
On patience (Patience)
I canβ€²t see what I been chasin',
I just know my thoughts are racinβ€²

Here we go again,
Another low again (Another low again)
Here we go again,
Another high again (Another high again)
Here we go again,
Another low again (Another low again)
Here we go again, she's rollercoasterinβ€²
Here we go again,
Another low again (Low-ow-ow-ow)
Here we go again,
Another high again (High-igh-igh-igh)
Here we go again,
Another low again (Low-ow-ow-ow)
Here we go again, she's rollercoasterin'

Goddamn, goddamn,
Iβ€²m suspended from the ceilinβ€²
I been drinkin' all my feelings
Tryna sustain the life that Iβ€²m livin'
So spare me all the details
β€²Bout the things that you gon' do for me
You just want me to break my back
So you can have cars and jewelry
You gotta know this ainβ€²t new to me
This rodeo ain't my first (Nope)
Enthusiasm been curbed (Yup)
I need these feelings reversed
Goddamn, goddamn
(Goddamn, goddamn)
I'm just tryna make a killinβ€²
So that I could feed my village
Put ya hands up if ya feel me

Here we go again,
Another low again (Another low again)
Here we go again,
Another high again (Another high again)
Here we go again,
Another low again (Another low again)
Here we go again, sheβ€²s rollercoasterin'
Here we go again,
Another low again (Low-ow-ow-ow)
Here we go again,
Another high again (High-igh-igh-igh)
Here we go again,
Another low again (Low-ow-ow-ow)
Here we go again, sheβ€²s rollercoasterin'

Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
