Ghost Notes - Intellectual

[Verse]

I wrote down all the things you've done on a scrap of paper

I know how to manoeuvre round a manipulator

Made a handy guide

For when the honeymoon subsides

And you realise their true design

[Pre-Chorus]

Need to learn that you cannot compensate

All the times that you feel elated

Don't make up for their mistakes

Should have been a warning

Need to learn that it cannot be your fate

All the strength that you're demonstrating

Ain't no cause to celebrate

Take it as a warning

[Chorus]

When you find yourself consumed by a tidal wave

Take my wording as the bible

They're the burden, a rival

When you find yourself consumed by a tidal wave

Blow the notion of survival

'Cause I don't like that, and they don't like you

They don't like you

[Verse 2]

I don't doubt that they make it harder to live alone, but

Fall out, and their disposition is exposed, yeah

Don't think you're to blame

Because they set out to defame

And it's just a game, just a game

[Bridge]

Need to learn that you cannot compensate

All the times that you feel elated

Don't make up for their mistakes

Should have been a warning

Need to learn that it cannot be your fate

All the strength that you're demonstrating

Ain't no cause to celebrate, ooh, oohh

[Pre-Chorus]

Need to learn that you cannot compensate

All the times that you feel elated

Don't make up for their mistakes

Should have been a warning

Need to learn that it cannot be your fate

All the strength that you're demonstrating

Ain't no cause to celebrate

Take it as a warning

[Chorus]

When you find yourself consumed by a tidal wave

Take my wording as the bible

They're the burden, a rival

When you find yourself consumed by a tidal wave

Blow the notion of survival

'Cause I don't like that, and they don't like you

I don't like that, and they don't like you

Best believe you won't like them when we're through
