Bitch why you fuck with my feelings again
I don't know when all this pain gonna end
So high, watch my soul fly in the wind
Just let me in give me your hand
I just want someone to talk to and listen
Its not all about the sex i want your attention
Drown my pain in liquids baby girl whats your intentions
But did i mention i really miss it
Liquor in my system pain running down my eyes
Would tell you i'm okay but those are lies
Look into my eyes i know they fried
Its a death race for my love so do or die
What am I feeling
I want the xanns and the perks to come heal me
I'm fighting demons they try to conceal me
Its up to me to do all the rebuilding
Liquor in my system pain running down my eyes
Would tell you i'm okay but those are lies
Look into my eyes i know they fried
Its a death race for my love so do or die
Bitch why you fuck with my feelings again
I don't know when all this pain gonna end
So high watch my soul fly in the wind
Just let me in give me your hand
I just want someone to talk to and listen

Drown my pain in liquids baby girl whats your intentions
But did i mention i really miss it
Bitch fuck with my heart i'm gonna get to snapping
We pull up in the dark just in case you get to capping
Its fucked up got my heart attached,she caught me lacking
Its only up i need to go missing in action
I thought i healed it all before but here we go again
Its a urge that i fight but a fight i never win
Have you ever thought you died but your soul was always in
This my farewell goodbye girl until we meet again
Liquor in my system pain running down my eyes
Would tell you i'm okay but those are lies
Look into my eyes i know they fried
Its a death race for my love so do or die
Bitch why you fuck with my feelings again
I don't know when all this pain gonna end
So high watch my soul fly in the wind
Just let me in give me your hand
I just want someone to talk to and listen
Its not all about the sex i want your attention




Drown my pain in liquids baby girl whats your intentions
But did i mention i really miss it
