I know you’re probably gonna hate me in the morning
Even though I gave you everything you wanted
Wish I could click the red button and simply ignore it
We tried this shit 100 times
I don’t like it when you’re standing at a distance
And I don’t think that there’s a way for us to fix this cause
I’m in your bed then I’m left on red
Somebody save me
Your fucking crazy
I been trying again, trying again
But you’ve been lying again, lying again
Peepin’ my location when I’m gone
But we both know I’ve been doing nothing wrong
I’ve tried to tell you that I love you but I feel like you don’t notice
You don’t show affection
And you act like I don’t know this
I don’t like it when you creepin’ at a distance
And sometimes I wish that we never existed
I don’t wanna sleep alone but when I do it feels right
Every time you come around me you just wanna fight
Somebody save me
Your fucking crazy
I been trying again, trying again
But you’ve been lying again, lying again
Somebody save me
Your fucking crazy
I been trying again, trying again
But you’ve been lying again, lying again
No more sexting you
At three am in the morning
When I’m leaving and got nothing to do
Somebody save me
She’s fucking crazy
Manipulation
Complication
These all get reciprocated
Every time you hit my line
I just wish we never dated
You doing the voodoo shit
Yeah, at the end of the movie shit
Nah, I stick to the cutie shit
No I can’t move on with a girl like this
Somebody save me
Your fucking crazy
I been trying again, trying again
But you’ve been lying again, lying again’
