  • I swim too quickly
    'Cause big waves are hard to jump over
    You're not sweet, not sickly
    You don't taste like nothing when I'm sober
    And I already wanna die
    You just make it like ten times worse
    And I heard that you tell the guys I'm the worst
    You come 'round on Monday
    And goddamn, you stink like you've missed me
    I find it funny
    You don't close your eyes when you kiss me

    And I'm sick of your puppy eyes
    You said boys should never cry
    Well, surprise, I bet no one's ever told you

    You bought me some flowers, I gave them to someone else
    Told me that you loved me, you're just talking to yourself
    I don't wanna know, I don't wanna hear it
    Let yourself out, you're so conceited, yeah-yeah
    You bought me some flowers, I gave them to someone else
    Told me that you loved me, you're just talking to yourself
    And I don't wanna know, I don't wanna hear it
    Let yourself out, you're so conceited, yeah-yeah

    You're far too easy
    You hide between the lines but I read you
    It's a pity
    I get off when I mislead you
    And say oh, I, I, don't want no other guy
    Pretend I love your suit and tie
    It's fun playing with a man's mind for once
    And you say come over
    Say please, I might think about it
    You lost composure
    And I don't think you ever found it

    And I'm sick of your puppy eyes
    You said boys should never cry
    Well, surprise, I bet no one's ever told you

    You bought me some flowers, I gave them to someone else
    Told me that you loved me, you're just talking to yourself
    I don't wanna know, I don't wanna hear it
    Let yourself out, you're so conceited, yeah-yeah
    You bought me some flowers, I gave them to someone else
    Told me that you loved me, you're just talking to yourself
    I don't wanna know, I don't wanna hear it
    Let yourself out, you're so conceited, yeah-yeah

    You bought me some flowers, I gave them to someone else
    Told me that you loved me, you're just talking to yourself
    And I don't wanna know, I don't wanna hear it
    Let your goddamn self out, you're so conceited, yeah-yeah Writer/s: Conor Dickinson, Jared Solomon, Lola Young, William Brown
