lyrics

Ooo baby I already know what this is
You think you’re hot shit and that i’m not shit
But really you just toxic but it’s okay
Cause i’m the same way
We’re both too old for the games we play
Two grown ass kids but it is what it is

You were overbearing
But disguised it as caring
I was deeply invested
But too nonchalant
Thought i found heaven
Instead a potent facade
Great sex a red herring
For those red flags
Shoulda cut my losses
Left you in the past
But there’s something bout you
And yo crazy ass
And there must be something about me too cause

I know
You know
We can’t let this shit go

I know
You know
We can’t let this shit go

I know
You know
We can’t let this shit go

I know
You know
We can’t let this shit go

I know you had a fear that this thing wouldn’t last
Probably cause of all the trauma you were dealt in the past
So when you felt it slipping
You would tighten your grasp
In hopes you could preserve everything that we had
But that lack of space
Made me want to escape
But still I can’t say your fears were that misplaced
Cause I know at times I made your head spin
And I wasn’t always a blessing
Shit at times, even a curse
And what’s worse
I projected everything on you
Those emotions i had bottled up deep inside
So those tears that you cried
Really shoulda been mine
And time after time
We’d try and try
To find another way we could make this work
To find another way to erase that hurt
But not matter what we do
Things just crash and burn
We go back and forth, back and forth
On and on, on and on
We’re so on and off, on and off
To the point we don’t know what we’re doing now
404 error
No solutions found
And we know better than to try another go around
And yet still
And yet still

I know
You know
We can’t let this shit go

I know
You know
We can’t let this shit go

I know
You know
We can’t let this shit go

I know
You know
We can’t let this shit go

I know
You know
We can’t let this shit go

I know
You know
We can’t let this shit go

I know
You know
We can’t let this shit go

I know
You know
We can’t let this shit go

I know
You know
We can’t let this shit go

I know
You know
We can’t let this shit go

I know
You know
We can’t let this shit go

I know
You know
We can’t let this shit go

And you see baby
I hate to carry on for the sake of carrying on
But at the same time
I love to carry on for the sake of carrying
Cause I just can’t get enough
Of that rush
Ooo it’s just so
Invigorating
It’s just so
Titillating
It’s unfortunate cause
Ain’t no winners in this game we play
Still we play anyway
I guess that’s just how it is
When the way you live
Is so
Toxic
And that’s why

I know
You know
We can’t let this shit go

I know
You know
We can’t let this shit go

I know
You know
We can’t let this shit go

I know
You know
We can’t let this shit go

I know
You know
We can’t let this shit go

I know
You know
We can’t let this shit go

I know
You know
We can’t let this shit go

I know
You know
We can’t let this shit go
