[Intro]

I got more on my mind

Than you'll have in your lifetime

And my clothes haven't dried

I've lost count of the lies


[Verse 1]

(I got)

I got more on my mind

Than you'll have in your lifetime

And my clothes haven't dried

I've lost count of the lies

And she texts me to tell me her skin's breaking out

And I tell her to show me what she's talking 'bout

But I don't wanna see, maybe I need some air

All I want is some calm and for you to care


[Chorus]

If I live or I die

'Cause you make all the sounds

You say I don't seem right

It's been a while now

If I live or I diе

Why you still hanging 'round?

Do you care? Nor do I

But it's been a while now


[Verse 2]

I am your ex

I was thе best

You sleeping sound

So sure I was a mess but

I'm living fine

I see you've been scrolling my timeline

Ask yourself why

'Cause you're unsatisfied

What you don't understand

But what you won't admit

Is that you're no more happy

Living without it

You thought I was the problem

I'll always be that

But you miss me every night

And you're bored of your fall back


[Chorus]

If I live or I die

'Cause you make all the sounds

You say I don't seem right

It's been a while now

If I live or I die

Why you still hanging 'round?

Do you care? Nor do I

But it's been a while now


[Bridge]

I saw the man that you could be

I used to feel him inside of me

I'll admit I miss that body

But not the personality


[Chorus]

If I live or I die

'Cause you make all the sounds

You say I don't seem right

It's been a while now

If I live or I die

Why you still hanging 'round?

Do you care? Nor do I

But it's been a while now
