Lyrics
Man I know I gotta stop
But damn
Stomach twistin like I ate wrong
Throat tight everytime I try to swallow
Hands shakin so bad I dropped my keys again
Just tryna get in my own truck
Remember that laugh at the gas pump
Two in the mornin both half asleep
Now it's quiet and my head keeps replayin it
Over and over like stuck record
I-I got my own stuff
I got my own stuff
Why I still pick up
Why I still pick up
Why your mess gotta be my mess
Why your problems gotta sit in my chest
I got my own fight goin on in here
Why you still here why you still here
Why your mess gotta be my mess
Mirror lookin back mad this mornin
Taste like old apologies stuck
Wrote your name on a receipt then scratched it
Scratched it again then stared at it
Remember you took my hoodie that night
Said it smelled like me and you liked it
Now it just smells like regret and warm soda
And I still sleep in it dumb me
I-I can't keep
I-I can't keep
Doin this doin this
To myself to myself
Why your mess gotta be my mess
Why your problems gotta choke my breath
I said I got my own fight in here
Why you still here why you still
Why you still here
Two years
Two years and some change
Same parking lot
Same truck
Still can't breathe easy thinkin your name
Still can't erase the number
Still hit call then hang up quick
Still the same fool just me
Why your mess gotta be my mess
Why your problems gotta sit in my chest
I got my own fight
I got my own fight
Why you still
Why you still
Sorry I guess
Idk
Whatever
