I said... Tired of being cordial Tired of being normal Tired of being forced in Tied up in the moment I'm leaving with outer purpose Wearing it on the surface, love Making it look good Meanwhile it's been hurting, oh Self love is the best love See your love is the worst drug Self love is the best love But your love is the worst drug Ah, ah-ah-ah (Ah) Hey, hee Ah, ah-ah-ah (Oh) Tired of all this faking Wearing all of this makeup And meanwhile feeling complacent Fitting in, feeling basic and Meanwhile tryna replace him But all these feelings are makeshift Hard for me to face it When everything is changing, ayy Self love is the best love But your love was the worst drug Self love is the best love But your love is the worst drug Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah Ah, ah-ah-ah (Oh) Take it in vain, this pain is a feeling that we can't ignore Dealer man, hand me more A baby in a candy store I got secrets that just can't leave tour How did we go from lost in your arms to arms in a conflict? Long arm my conscience Lost in my thoughts The cost of my art, we growing apart You growing irate Stuck in the door of my state I carry my Gemini traits I bury my face Shameful hands, took your hand Led you astray, as you would say As soon as we clash, you adjudicate As for the date, it was like last June or May We were like "let's do the break", 'cause... Self love is the best love But your love was the worst drug Self love is the best love But your love is the worst drug Ah, ah, ah-ah-ah Ah, ah-ah-ah (Oh)
