lyrics

Cashing in some old receipts before this song is through
Did you say you’ll be my friend if I stop pushing you
I recall you propositioned me - your wife at home
Should I feel privileged you talk to me - hell no I’m gone

You say that you changed but I know you ain’t changed
You exactly the same - I’m exactly the same
Got a fresh coat of paint say you fixed but you ain’t
Weather gonna peel that paint away
Times change people don’t - wanna stop but I won’t
Same damn song for 30 years
So it’s best that I throw you pretend I don’t know you
I never really dug myself

Don’t like the way you make me feel
Don’t like the way you make me feel
Don’t like the way you make me feel
No instant gratification anymore

Receipt two - say I harassed you - say it to my face
Memories of the bathroom - cooler - hallway been erased?
You were like an addiction I couldn’t stay away
Girlfriends always get the ocean and I get the spray

Did you ever like me I know that you used me
Don’t gotta be public but look at how you do me
I can keep a promise - I don’t mind a secret
But the things you’re telling people oh shit they believe it
Faces change but I don’t - wanna stop but I won’t
Same damn problems for thirty years
So it’s best that I throw you pretend I don’t know you
I’ve never really liked myself

Name on the feed - on the open mic list
Slid in your DM’s and got treated like a bitch
Times I been blocked
Times I been stopped
Begging please please baby just talk to me
You think I like you?
You really think I like you?
Do you think it felt good humiliating myself?
It’s best that I throw you - pretend I don’t know you
I’m gonna try to like myself
