Are you reaDY? Are you in the voice note?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I got the voice note
One, two

Why do you lie to me?
You make it hard to breathe
'Cause there's no other way
Why do you lie to me?
You make it hard to sleep
You make it hard to breathe
There ain't no other way
There ain't no other way
Just on some other day
I want you on my side
I know you wanna lie
Just on some other day
There ain't no other way
Whoa, no other way
To give my heart a break
That's the hook
Yep
