[Intro]

Hurting others in the process

Treating them like objects

It's toxic, But I got to

'Cause I'm still waiting for you

Though you told me not to

It should be simple to get over

But you not anybody...


[Verse 1]

Hopeless romantic but trying not to panic

My priorities fucked up I'm such a bad example

I've been escaping reality in pussy

Because the fall won't ever hurt if you got cushion

You won't find if you're way too busy looking

I'm a hypocrite though

Since I've been looking for somebody like you

Knowing I can never land another

My mind and heart always arguing

They can't get along because they can't understand each other

Chasing women who duck me

Afraid of the ones who love me

Hardly trust myself enough to convince someone else to trust me

I'm a real nice guy

They just caught me at the wrong time

Tripping off somebody I can't have, for a long time

Hurting others in the process

Treating them like objects

It's toxic, But I got to

'Cause I'm still waiting for you

Though you told me not to

It should be simple to get over

But you not anybody and they not you


[Hook]

I never thought I'd be so conflicted

I got good intentions though

But make bad decisions (-cisions)

I never thought I'd be so conflicted

I got good intentions though

But make bad decisions (-cisions)


[Verse 2]

Ruined a friendship but trying not to panic

My priorities fucked up I'm such a bad example

I don't think I'm depressed

I just think I'm obsessed

And me not getting who I want feels like a knife through the chest

I even asked God about it

Haven't got an answer though

Sick of feeling sick of shit

I really need an antidote

I really could use a text from you

Never would've guessed that wanting more of you would get me less of you

You're better for me than vegetables

You're on a pedestal

But I digress

I apologize if I ever brought you stress

Those were not intentions

Should've continued pretending

At least you'd still be around

But I went swinging for fences and striking out

Hurting others in the process

Treating them like objects

It's toxic, But I got to

'Cause I'm still waiting for you

Though you told me not to

It should be simple to get over

But you not anybody and they not you


[Hook]

I never thought I'd be so conflicted

I got good intentions though

But make bad decisions (-cisions)

I never thought I'd be so conflicted

I got good intentions though

But make bad decisions (-cisions)


[Outro]

Hurting others in the process

Treating them like objects

It's toxic, But I got to

'Cause I'm still waiting for you

Though you told me not to

It should be simple to get over

But you not anybody and they not you

I know this sounds elementary and child-like (which was intended as well). But, I’m a vegetarian so really all I eat are vegetables making them even more important to me than they already are. So, she was better for me than nutrition. She was nutrition to me, herself pretty much, at some point; which is sad and very unhealthy but hey, life. lmao
