Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Always felt like I needed to please her
Or impress her
Though only in the hope that one day
I would undress her
Don't be offended
You think I'm 'bout to tell you
That "I love you"
But I really, really, really fucking don't
See the months of obsession
And crying for hours
I even started sitting down
In the shower, girl
I'll take my time on my own
And I'll be fine now I'm alone
[Verse 2]
Constantly told stories
With a stretch of the truth
Trying hard to make memories
To remember from youth
Desperately wanting you
To be interested too
It's not clear what I need yet
But it's clear it's not you
Here's what I'd say to any young man
That's still interested in you
Do you prioritize
The things in your life
The things that you hope to do?
'Cause if not then
Mate, you'd better trust me
When I tell you that
It's not worth forgetting about yourself
Because of one fucking girl
[Verse 3]
She may seem perfect
And gorgeous, and lovely
You'll think she likes you
I mean I thought she loved me, no
But no
Neither of us
Will get down from the shelf
The only one she loves is herself
