    How does it feel like this
    To be caught in a web of a heavy grip
    Where you might want believe or try to admit
    That the one that you love is a fool you don't realize
    When will you finally wake up
    And the love that you hold is a taste of bad luck
    And all that you have is a bag full of lies
    He's blinded you deep by the look in the pit of his eyes

    And If I knew that this could be
    A total catastrophe
    I probably would have told you a little sooner so you wouldn't get hurt
    If I could change this possibly
    It would be how you want this to be

    Cause it ain't over till it's all done
    So let me finish my conversation
    Yes I'm tryna get your attention
    Cause your distracted by affection
    Can't you see that it isn't true
    What you thought you had and you knew
    And I've been chosen to tell you
    That you're stupid and you know you gotta do it leave!

    When you are deep in love
    It is hard to see past all the dirt and the mud
    You tell everyone that it's great and okay
    When you know in your heart
    That it hurts and it won't go away
    Afraid to let go of the hand
    That you held so tight when he said I'm your man
    But his eyes seem to sway at the flick of a switch
    And you are alone in the dark with a bruised broken heart

    And If I knew that this could be
    A total catastrophe
    I properly would have told you a little sooner so you wouldn't get hurt
    If I could change this possibly
    It would be how you want this to be

    Cause it ain't over till it's all done
    Listen to my conversation
    Yes I'm tryna get your attention
    Cause your distracted by affection
    Can't you see that it isn't true
    What you thought you had and you knew
    And I've been chosen to tell you
    That you're stupid and you know you gotta do it leave!

    You know that I do get it right
    The truest friend you can't deny
    You know that I don't tell a lie
    I know that you love him
    It's clear that you put up a fight
    To keep the love still in your life
    But I must speak
    The truth be told
    Even thought I know you love him

    Cause it ain't over till it's all done
    Listen to my conversation
    Yes I'm trying get your attention
    Cause your distracted by his affection
    Can't you see it isn't true
    What you thought you had and you knew
    And I've been chosen to tell you
    That you're stupid and you know you gotta do it do it!
    Say what?!
    Cos you're stupid and you know you gotta do it leave! Writer/s: DANIEL BROWN, WILLIAM JAMES OSBOURNE GOODCHILD
