Lyrics

    I’m perfection when it comes to first impressions
    I romanticize and then I get to stressing
    A big brain like I’m teaching it a lesson
    Baby it’s a blessing, yeah
    
    You got me thinking that I was too mean
    Well everything that I say I believe
    Tuck a knife with my heart up my sleeve and
    Change like a season
    **reason for nothing
    I am disruptive
    I’ve been corrupted
    And by now I don’t need a fucking introduction
    I’ve been gone
    Cuz I been on this road too long
    
    You know I get too caught up in a moment
    I can’t call it love if I show it
    I just fuck things up, if you noticed
    Have you noticed?
    Tell me have you noticed?
    
    I get too caught up in a moment
    I can’t fall in love if I show it
    I just fuck things up, if you noticed.
    Have you noticed?
    Tell me have you noticed?
    
    Now I’m wondering if I ever wanted to hold you
    It never mattered if I owned you
    Cuz you’d let anybody with a body control you
    And you know it too
    
    You got me feeling like I been too mean
    And everything that I say I believe
    Tuck a knife with my heart up my sleeve
    And fuck like a demon
    Do it like nothin
    i am disgustin
    Ive been corrupted
    and by now I don’t need no help to be destructive
    I been gone
    Yeah I been on this road too long
    
    And now I get too caught up in a moment
    I can’t call it love if I show it
    I just fuck things up, if you noticed
    Have you noticed?
    Tell me have you noticed?     
    
    I get too caught up in a moment
    I can’t fall in love cause I’m focused
    I just fuck things up, if you noticed.
    Have you noticed?
    Tell me have you noticed?
    
    The more that you give away....
    The more that you have....
    The more that you give away....
    The more that you have....
    The more that you give away....
    The more that you have....
    The more that they take....
