Smothered by Your Thoughts


Haven’t been returning the calls
Just been feeling kinda pressed,
Yeah, sure I’ll buy your shopping haul,
And start responding to texts.
Before you ask, no, I’m not talkin to you know who,
Cause I’m with you babe, I gots to see us through.
I’ll turn on my ringer, so I can hear when you need me,
But I know you’re a thinker, so please try to hear me-
I’m not getting calls from Cece, Gigi, or Bibi,
These one word responses, man why can’t you believe me?
I been doin it all, nonstop takin the fall,
Late to class, teachers all on my ass,

Why can’t you see it?

I wanna keep trying for you,
I’m out here dying for you,
Family ask if i'm okay and I stay lying for you.
I put all my eggs in your basket,
It's a tough question but I gotta ask it...

what am i doin?

I need some space maybe some time,
Coz we were ride or die but right now I’d rather die.
You had all the other girls jealous,
I shouldn’t have to be the one to tell us,
But it’s falling apart.

I think we should end it now.
I shouldn’t have to worry about your revengeful acts.
I’m 15, I haven’t paid a single tax,
Revenge for something you think I might do,

Leaving me on opened for a week coz i dont like u?
It’s true those girls offered, but guess what, I declined too.
I need to see me be me, but to be me I gotta be free.

This text got a little longer than I
thought it would be, but
Basically we’re breaking up.
