Lyrics

[Verse 1]
This version of me you've made, can I just be honest?
Sometimes, it just feels so fake, it's not what you promised
I'm used to my baggy jeans, but you on that tight shit
You know that it's not my scene, you know I don't like it
You say you want attention, I question your intentions
I don't know if you are what I need
[PreChorus]
You say you want a wife, I'm not down for a lifetime
Baby boy, no, I'm not what you need
[Chorus]
So if I let go, it's a drop in the ocean
My eyes are bored of emotion
Don't cry, oh yeah
I'm good on my own, never promised devotion
My eyes are bored of emotion
Don't cry, oh yeah
[Verse 2]
It's not like you're bad for me, you're not a bad person
That's why it's so sad to me that I feel so worthless
[PreChorus]
You say you want a wife, I'm not down for a lifetime
Baby boy, no, I'm not what you need
[Chorus]
So if I let go, it's a drop in the ocean
My eyes are bored of emotion
Don't cry, oh yeah
I'm good on my own, never promised devotion
My eyes are bored of emotion
Don't cry, mm
[PostChorus]
(Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry)
(Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry)
(Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry)
(Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry)
[Bridge]
This was never infinite, why'd you act so innocent, baby? Oh
Feelings get so intricate, guess we hit our pinnacle lately
[Chorus]
So if I let go, it's a drop in the ocean
My eyes are bored of emotion
Don't cry, oh yeah
I'm good on my own, never promised devotion
My eyes are bored of emotion
Don't cry, mm
[PostChorus]
(Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry)
(Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry)
(Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry) Oh yeah
Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry, yeah
(Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry)
Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry
