You got me thinking maybe that we could be one and the same
Didn't know my words would make me such a disgrace
Everything you said, I would've put on my name
So teach me how you skilled enough to look in my eyes
Tell me that you want every second of mine
How the tables turned, I want you walking away
And maybe when I fall asleep, you'll 'pear in a dream
Where I can lecture you about the silly routine
When tables turn and I'll be happy walking away
I am so mad, I am so mad, I am so mad about you
Everything you do and what you do put me through
Occasionally I'm certain that I'm walking away
You give me hell, you give me heaven, all your visions of life
You are just a bug, I'll spray you down like a fly
The way you buggin', tryna' get that thing in your eye
I'll give you hell, I'll give you hell, I'll give you hell, I can try
Reciprocate the message, you left me on my line
That you got all you want and now you're walking away
You can leave, you can leave, I don't want you to speak
So why you here in my ear? Talkin', talkin' to me
No, just
(Shhh, shhh, shhh)
No, just
(Shhh, shhh, shhh)
You can leave, you can leave, I don't want you to wait
'Cause I am done, I am done and I hope you can hear me say
(Shhh, shhh, shhh)
No, just
(Shhh, shhh, shhh)
I had enough, I had enough, I had enough of your hold
How everything you say to me, I keep it too close
I've had it up to here, I think it's time that you leave
What did I sip, what did I sip, what did I sip of your cup
Stayed inside my system for a couple of months
But now I'm on this hell thing, I'll make sure that I'm clean
I hate it when, I hate it when, I hate it when I begin
To reminisce about everything that has been
As if you're in my brain and you're refusing to leave me
I'll give you hell, I'll give you hell, I'll give you hell, I can see
Reciprocate your demons, that will not let me leave
And you can drink it down and you can pour it for me
You can leave, you can leave, I don't want you to speak
So why you here in my ear? Talkin', talkin' to me
No, just
(Shhh, shhh, shhh)
No, just
(Shhh, shhh, shhh)
You can leave, you can leave, I don't want you to wait
'Cause I am done, I am done and I hope you can hear me say
(Shhh, shhh, shhh)
No, just
(Shhh, shhh, shhh)
Do you remember the gold nights?
Do you remember the war signs?
Do you remember the old times?
'Cause I remember it all
Do you remember at midnight, you call me up like the first time
Do you remember my heart signs
'Cause I remember it all
You can leave, you can leave, I don't want you to speak
So why you here in my ear? Talkin', talkin' to me
No, just
(Shhh, shhh, shhh)
No, just
(Shhh, shhh, shhh)
You can leave, you can leave, I don't want you to wait
'Cause I am done, I am done and I hope you can hear me say
(Shhh, shhh, shhh)
No, just
(Shhh, shhh, shhh)
(Shhh, shhh, shhh)
No, just
(Shhh, shhh, shhh)
