Flex
Lanie Vox Lyrics

They get the lovers, put them all up on display
Other people in relationships seem to be always openly flaunting their love lives.

I get up under anyone who doesn't stay
Instead of finding stability in long-term relationships, I often gravitate towards short-term flings that go nowhere.

Tryna recover from the one that got away
I'm still trying to get over someone from my past who I lost and can't seem to forget.

It's a new mission when I want what I can't have
I feel drawn to things that are out of my reach, and it motivates me to pursue them anyway.

To look at you different, look at everything and laugh
I'm trying to move on from you by changing my perspective and not taking the failed relationship too seriously.

I know I miss it but I know I shouldn't want it back
I acknowledge that I still crave the old relationship despite knowing that it is better for me to move on.

But how you gonna move so fast
I am bewildered by your quick rebound and ease of moving on from our failed relationship.

Mess my mind like that
Your actions and decisions have left me feeling confused and emotionally drained.

Tell me Ima be your last
You gave me false hope and promises that you would be with me forever, only to break them and move on so easily.

Then switch it up like that
You changed your mind so quickly and abruptly, leaving me feeling betrayed and hurt.

Who knew you could do this dirt
I never expected you to be capable of this kind of behavior and actions, and your actions have left me feeling shocked.

Man you got some nerve
Your behavior and actions are audacious, and you should be ashamed of your actions.

I don't gotta prove my worth but I
I don't need to validate my self-worth, but I feel the need to show you that I am capable of moving on and being happy.

I gotta flex now
I feel the need to show off and boast about my newfound self-confidence and strength.

On you, on you
This is directed towards you and my need to show off to you.

I needed closure to help me sleep
I need to find closure from our broken relationship to be able to move forward and finally feel at peace.

When this is over, you won't believe
Once I finally find that closure and am able to move on, you will be surprised by my newfound strength and confidence.

And it's not really me, no
I feel like I am acting out of character by engaging in this kind of behavior, but I can't seem to help it.

To entertain or put on a show
I feel like I have to perform and put on a display of strength and confidence for others, and for you.

Honestly I still have all your clothes
Despite trying to move on, I am still holding onto reminders of you and our past relationship.

But since you left you make me go
Your departure has forced me to be stronger and more resilient, and I am using that strength to move forward and thrive.
