Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I kinda got the warning when I saw my dad in your eyes

Uncomfortable without your handy dandy herbal disguise

And when I kiss you, I taste your blues

Why won't you hold me?

I'll hold you too

[Verse 2]

I lived so long with someone so uncomfortable in their mind

They fed themself a little poison every day to survive

And that's not like you, at least I thought

That night I told you

I tried to talk, but

[Verse 3]

It didn't come out how I wanted

I wish I could've just been honest

[Verse 4]

This is why I broke up with you

Do you realize you're too high to care?

And I'm saying this with nothing to lose

'Cause I know that you're not really there

I only get you half of the time

Your eyes are glossed over again

I only like you when you're in your right mind

And, babe, that's only now and then

This is why I broke up with you, ooh, ooh

You, ooh, ooh

[Verse 5]

Honestly, it's only weed, it isn't even that bad

But every word is like an echo of a memory I had

Your empty promises, the stop and go

The way we played pretend was kind of gross

[Verse 6]

You know the truth is weighing heavy

Because I've been through this already

[Verse 7]

This is why I broke up with you

Do you realize you're too high to care?

And I'm saying this with nothing to lose

'Cause I know that you're not really there

I only get you half of the time

Your eyes are glossed over again

I only like you when you're in your right mind

And, babe, that's only now and then

This is why I broke up with you, ooh, ooh

You, ooh, ooh

[Verse 8]

You, ooh, ooh

You, ooh, ooh

This is why I broke up with you, ooh, ooh

You, ooh, ooh

This is why I broke up with you
