about

fifth track in #pinkfridays vol. I

lyrics

When we were seventeen you loved me
We never left the bed
Letting you go was my mistake
And I need you like I need my drugs

Thoughts of you are taking over
My body, you on it
Your body, I want it
Come on babe I need some closure
Before I suicide

When we were seventeen you loved me
We never left the bed
Letting you go was my mistake
And I need you like I need my drugs

Thoughts of you are taking over
My body, you on it
Your body, I want it
Come on babe I need some closure
Before I suicide

Lately I’ve been thinking
‘bout youth and our innocence
Man, it all went to shit

Watching me change all my traits
One by one
Killing every damn trace
Put you through hell

Not for a minute
No, not for a minute
I never considered your heart

I made up a new me
No Frankenstein bullshit
I hid all my fear and killed my own past

I’m not tryna apologise
It’s too late
I’m too far gone for that
I’m just tryna make you mine
Before I say goodbye

I’m gonna use the best of you
Against you one last time
I know it’s bad and I’m sorry love
But you won’t let me down

Don’t let me down
Don’t let me reopen scars that I let go
Don’t let me down

Don’t let me down
Don’t let me reopen scars that I let go
Don’t let me down

When we were seventeen you loved me
We never left the bed
Letting you go was my mistake
And I need you like I need my drugs

Thoughts of you are taking over
My body, you on it
Your body, I want it
Come on babe I need some closure
Before I suicide
