[Chorus]

Self-sabotage

It's the thing that drives soulmates apart

I can't tell what's in your hand of cards

Or feelings in that empty heart

Self-sabotage

It's the thing that drives soulmates apart

I can't tell what's in your hand of cards

Or feelings in that empty heart


[VERSE 1]

(Uh) You've been real quietly lately

Don't think that I can keep taking

My heart breaking, all of these feelings you're faking

You on my mind when I'm sleeping and waking

Baby I run out of patience

Why you delaying, everything you should be saying

Needing an explanation

Instead you run with my feelings expect me to take it

I know you're hurting but you hide it well

From the very beginning I'm under your spell

Still the past comes to haunt you and you start to dwell

Trap yourself in your mind didn't think you could tell

How you act like you're fine while I'm going through hell

Our connection is strong you know I straight up fell

Now my tears they be falling the ocean it swells

Got me locked in a cell debating my farewell


[Chorus]

Self-sabotage

It's the thing that drives soulmates apart

I can't tell what's in your hand of cards

Or feelings in that empty heart

Self-sabotage

It's the thing that drives soulmates apart

I can't tell what's in your hand of cards

Or feelings in that empty heart


[VERSE 2]

I wanna open your head

So many texts left on read

T.A.T.u All The Things She Said

Leaving me out here for dead

I'll sabotage what we built up instead

Want you to yell in my face

Sick of the empty space

Come and put me in my place

All the errors of my ways

Stuck in my bed like a hermit for days

I wanna come across heartless

Make you feel helpless for starters

I'm out here making a barter

Universe making shit harder

People say live on regardless

I think that would be smarter

But I am shrouded in darkness

Need some catharsis but I don't know where my glass is


[Chorus]

Self-sabotage

It's the thing that drives soulmates apart

I can't tell what's in your hand of cards

Or feelings in that empty heart

Self-sabotage

It's the thing that drives soulmates apart

I can't tell what's in your hand of cards

Or feelings in that empty heart


[OUTRO]

Just give me another drink now

Dance the night away and drown you out

Popping pills 'til the stars fall down

I sabotaged the whole thing myself

Run through the city my high isn't lasting

I don't think I can continue I'm crashing

Strangers are looking at me and harassing

Laughing, wondering what they are planning

I'm in the back of a taxi

Didn't give any address but the buildings we're passing

My head is spinning the ringing is blasting

Don't have to think about you 'til it's passed me
