(PinkPantheress)
Your music, I heard it
I wanted to tell you
I know that you don’t leave your bedroom
Make songs off the pain that you went through
The truth is that you
Can’t accept the reasons I gave
You’re done so now your apology late
I just took a walk in the rain
I thought I’d find you something
Buy you all that I can afford
So I can make you happy
Ckay
Confusion, confusion
This life an illusion
You’re with me right now, next thing, you’re gone
But I need you on my skin like clothes, yeah
Like clothes, yeah, baby
