[Verse 1]

I can't afford to have you turn your back, not now

You stroke my cheek and tell me, "Not yet," like you always have

And all the luck I had never went that far

And I get sick thinking of how much I hate you for making it out

I laid down with a cold hand rolling down your back

You always have

You keep your promise to remember, without me

(Bite)


[Chorus]

And I bet she's so lucky to have a voice like that

I'm young blood, fresh meat, and I like that

Can't help but think the man I love the most is lying to me

He's calling, crying, said, "Don't ever come to NYC,"

"Without me"

Without me?


[Verse 2]

Sick of religion, throwing elbows at the Marriott

You'rе at your buddy's house and you can find me back at the pad

Stain on your top's gotta bе older than a week by now

I know your mission, paying extra for a carry-on

You'll try to buy me out, you told me this was all that I had

High in the lobby, looking crazy at the juice on her gown

She's all out of cash


[Chorus]

And I bet she's so lucky to have a voice like that

I'm on my showbiz, everyday nonsense

Can't help but think the man I love the most is lying to me

He's calling, crying, said "You're ending up like all of your friends,"

"Without me"

Without me?


[Verse 3]

Earn him money like a man

Nails in my back remind me where I am

I'm in your phone, moaning like a cat

Your mother turns her back on me 'cause that's just who I am

You fucked me over

Sweet honey from the stand

Looking down from the mezzanine, he tastes me when he can

And I like that

Earn 'em money like a man

"I'm barely legal," told him as I spent all my advance

"You fucked me"


[Chorus]

And I bet she's so lucky to have a voice like that

I'm young blood, fresh meat, and I like that

Can't help but think the man I love the most is lying to me

He's calling, crying, said, "Don't ever come to NYC"

And I bet she's so lucky to have a voice like that

Without me?

I'm on my showbiz, everyday nonsense

Can't help but think the man I love the most is lying to me

Without me?

He's calling, crying, said "You're ending up like all of your friends,"

(Explosive) "Without me"

Without me?


[Post-Chorus]

(Pinned to the wall, all I could ever imagine was you)

(Wiping me down like a trophy)

(Something I could earn)


[Verse 4]

The way it ends, you hold me like fifty thousand bills in your hand

Like I'm the princess of Ocean City

No convincing that you'll remember the poison in my mouth

Once you're in me, fifty thousand bills in your hand

Like, I'm the princess of Ocean City

No convincing that you'll remember

The poison in my mouth wants you in me


[Outro]

(Explosive)

(Like a hydrogen bomb)

(A blimp soaring across the United States)

(And it can't find me)

(Rotting in the middle of Oregon)

(A decomposing dream)

(Explosive)

(A decomposing dream)

(Explosive)

(A decomposing dream)

(Explosive)
