  • Boy, you're such a lost cause
    Now your name is crossed off
    How you gonna fix this?
    You can't even fix yourself

    It was almost two years
    That I chose to spend here
    All alone on New Year's
    Thinkin' "What the hell?"

    I don't wanna break your thread and needle
    Tryna stitch you, but I can't, I refuse

    Shouldn't love you, but I couldn't help it
    Had a feeling that you never felt it
    I always knew that you were too damn selfish
    Don't know why I looked the other way
    I wanted you to change, yeah
    I shouldn't love you, but I couldn't help it
    I always knew that you were too damn selfish

    I bet you thought you gave me real love
    But we spent it all in nightclubs
    All you ever wanna do is lie
    Why you always such a Gemini?

    Baby, who you tryna run from
    Me or all your problems?
    You know you will never solve 'em
    You don't even know yourself

    I don't wanna break your thread and needle
    Tryna stitch you, but I can't, I refuse

    Shouldn't love you, but I couldn't help it
    Had a feeling that you never felt it
    I always knew that you were too damn selfish
    Don't know why I looked the other way
    I wanted you to change, yeah
    I shouldn't love you, but I couldn't help it
    I always knew that you were too damn selfish

    I don't wanna break your thread and needle
    Tryna stitch you, but I can't, I refuse

    But it's not possible
    Plus I'm not responsible
    For your self-made obstacles
    Put my heart in the hospital, whoa, whoa-oh

    Shouldn't love you, but I couldn't help it
    Had a feeling that you never felt it
    I always knew that you were too damn selfish
    Don't know why I looked the other way
    I wanted you to change, yeah
    I shouldn't love you, but I couldn't help it
    I always knew that you were too damn selfish
