So gone I'm spacing

Why is it me that you're hating (Why's it me)
Taking time I been chasing
My life's a movie in the making (Making)

My life's a movie in the making
Do what I'm thinking
Hearts a hotel but it's always vacant
Tell me what you're thinking
You still playing

Love me, hold me
Love me, hold me
Love me, hold me
Love me, hold me

Heal me, feel me
Take me, hate me
It's okay if you break me
Don't even know why you date me
Ignore me, bore me
Take me out of your story
Heal me, feel me
Take me, hate me

Love me

Off to mars
Take me
So gone I'm spacing

Love me, hold me
Love me, hold me

Off to mars take me
So gone I'm spacing
