Call me
Don't call me
Call me
Don't call me

Hey, I never thought this love could go so wrong
And so it did and you know that I moved on
I never heard from you for so long
Now I'm glowing up, you're blowing up my phone

I know you're tryna see if I still care that I miss you
Know you never thought that I could be this cool
Know you didn't think that I could be this cruel
I don't need to be mean but I'm just gonna ignore you

Call me
Ignore you
Don't call me

Don't call me no more, no more
Don't call me
Don't call me no more
Don't call me no more, no more
Don't call me
Don't call me no more

And I see you found a new love
And you show it, all your friends gotta know it
I've been there before so I know when you're just faking it
I can't believe I stayed with you, the pain that I've been taking in

Oh, you move so fast, just don't forget
I was there to build you up when everything was a mess
I was dedicated to you
I cared about nothing but you, but you

Don't call me

Don't call me no more, no more
Don't call me
Don't call me no more
Don't call me no more, no more
Don't call me
Don't call me no more

Funny how when you see you're glowing up
Wanna try and make it up
Suddenly just showing up
Where were you when I was crying?
Left me on the floor just dying
Can't come to the phone, realign
Now you wanna be my friend but I ain't buying it

Don't call me no more, no more
Don't call me
Don't call me no more
Don't call me no more, no more
Don't call me
Don't call me no more

Call me
Don't call me




Call me
Don't call me

Can't believe TOKiMONSTA had brain surgery, lost ability to comprehend music, and then comes back with something so good.

@bmwx3turbo

Why do you say that? You don't think she could've recovered so quickly?

@bmwx3turbo

I'd have to make a point to say that with her brain disease, Moyamoya, she didn't reach severely ischemic conditions in her brain compared to something like a stroke because she still had collateral blood flow to her brain- so there's a good chance her brain impairment wasn't permanent. The revascularization process post-surgery likely allowed her deficient areas to recover. Also brain plasticity allows for a pretty good amount of flexibility for compensation in the event of brain damage, especially since music comprehension uses several different parts of the brain.

I don't doubt she got help with the album, though I don't think it would be too outlandish to say that the production in her new album is from her own mind.

@simulationdisruptor6033

She's on a new episode of "Explained" on Netflix that just came out and she speaks perfectly clearly on it. They also interview the neurosurgeon who did both of her surgeries and he explains how recovery is possible. It's the music episode. Check it out before you say incendiary things about her. #jumpingtofalseconclusions
