  • Ayy
    You know my ex
    So that makes it all feel complicated, yeah
    (It all seems complicated)
    I read those texts
    That you sent to yours but I'll never say it, yeah
    (I'll never say)

    You walked in my life at 2 AM
    'Cause my boy's new girl is your best friend
    Act like you don't see me, we'll play pretend
    Your eyes already told me what you never said

    Now we're in the back seat of the black car going home
    When she asked me, "Is it wrong if I come up with you?"
    We're both drunk on the elevator
    When I kissed you for the first time in New York City, uh

    I swear to God, I never fall in love
    Then you showed up and I can't get enough of it
    I swear to God, I never fall in love
    I never fall in love but I can't get enough of it

    First off, I'm not sorry
    I won't apologize to nobody
    You play like I'm invisible
    Girl, don't act like you ain't saw me
    Last year was a mess and how I acted was beyond me
    But the past still revolves me
    You text me, I ain't responding
    But now shit's done changed
    Go our separate ways
    But look at this damage you did to me
    I still want nothin' to do between you and me
    Please, don't say nothing at all, sounds so true to me
    We don't have nothing to say, hey

    I swear to God, I never fall in love
    Then you showed up and I can't get enough of it
    I swear to God, I never fall in love
    I never fall in love but I can't get enough of it
    I swear to God, I never fall in love
    Then you showed up and I can't get enough of it
    I swear to God, I never fall in love
    I never fall in love but I can't get enough of it

    You know my ex
    So that makes it all feel complicated, yeah
    (It all seems complicated)
    I read those texts
    That you sent to yours but I'll never say it, yeah
