Lyrics
I said
Tired of being cordial
Tired of being normal
Tired of being forced in
Tied up in the moment
I'm livin' without a purpose
Wearin' it on the surface, love
Makin' it look good, meanwhile, it's been hurtin', oh
Self love is the best love
See, your love is the worst drug
Self love is the best love
But your love is the worst drug
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Hey-ee
Ah, ah-ah
Got involved in this fake feud
Wearin' all of this makeup
And meanwhile, feelin' complacent
Fittin' in, feelin' basic, and
Meanwhile, tryna replace him
But all these feelings are makeshift
Hard for me to face it
When everything is changin'
Yeah, self love is the best love
But your love was the worst drug
Self love is the best love
But your love is the worst drug, oh
Take it in vain
This pain is a feeling that we can't ignore
Dealer man, hand me more
A baby in a candy store
I got secrets that just can't leave tour
How did we go from lost in your arms to
Arms in a conflict, long on my conscience
Lost in my thoughts
The cost of my art, we growin' apart
You growin' irate
Stuck in a dormant state
I carry my Gemini traits
I bury my face
Shameful hands took your hand
Lead you astray as you would say
As soon as we clash, you adjudicate
As for the date
It was like last June or May
We were like, "lets do the break" 'cause
Self love is the best love
But your love was the worst drug
Self love is the best love
But your love is the worst drug, oh
