Hey boy, stop pacing 'round the room Using other people's faces as a mirror for you I know your lungs need filling Since your gums have lost their feeling But don't say you're giving it up again And do you have a card? My irregular heart beat is starting to compact itself He's just a simple diabetic that prevents the empathetic From being just and giving it up And you're the only thing that's going on in my mind Taking over my life a second time I don't have the capacity for fucking You're meant to be helping me When I said I liked it better without my money, I lied It took a little while to recognize that I I'm not giving it up again This conversation's not about reciprocation no more But I'm gon' wait until you finish so I can talk some more About me and my things, my car, my living And how I'm giving it up, giving it up again And you're the only thing that's going on in my mind Taking over my life a second time I don't have the capacity for fucking You're meant to be helping me When I said I liked it better without my money, I lied It took a little while to recognize That I, I'm not giving it up again Oh, the kick won't last for long But the song only lasts three minutes I think I've lost my phone so won't you call it up for me? The kick won't last for long But the song only lasts three minutes And I know it's wrong But give me one And you're the only thing that's going on in my mind Taking over my life a second time I don't have the capacity for fucking You're meant to be helping me When I said I liked it better without my money, I lied It took a little while to recognize That I, I'm not giving it up again I'm not giving it up I'm not giving it up I'm not giving it up I'm not giving it up I'm not giving it up, giving it up I'm not giving it up, giving it up
