Boi

I don’t want to be sober once more I don’t want to be that boy that hurts to the core In pain just for your gain Lost my brain train You spooked me out in silent reveries Solace shakes my inner core and brings me to my knees Coming down from the high… Boy, you got me going crazy these insane days Oh, you have ways to hypnotize me… In a summer haze, I’m in agony in many ways Oh, there’s days when I want to be free Girl, I’m sorry I let you down This boy in mind makes me drown In my tears of terrible tribulation For I’ve been force-fed frustration But, I loved him for some odd reason It’s outrageous how time flies When we feel our lows and highs I’m sobering up and it’s not easy being me I’m hovering above the surface of ecstasy Boy, oh boy, I wish you’d be not on my mind I don’t want to be that boy that’s hopeless In pain and I’m growing insane Lost my brain train You scared me out of my wits honestly Chaos brews inside me now and sings me crooked lullabies gleefully Coming up from the lows… Boy, you got me going crazy these insane days Oh, you have ways to hypnotize me… In a summer haze, I’m in agony in many ways Oh, there’s days when I want to be free Girl, I’m sorry I let you down This boy in mind makes me drown In my tears of terrible tribulation For I’ve been force-fed frustration But, I loved him for some odd reason It’s outrageous how time flies When we feel our lows and highs I’m sobering up and it’s not easy being me I’m hovering above the surface of ecstasy Fearless and unbearably trapped, Longing to be free and unfraid of what lies ahead Distress more or less got zapped Away from my presence and I’m trading sadness with happiness instead Boy, you got me going crazy these insane days Oh, you have ways to hypnotize me… In a summer haze, I’m in agony in many ways Oh, there’s days when I want to be free Girl, I’m sorry I let you down This boy in mind makes me drown In my tears of terrible tribulation For I’ve been force-fed frustration But, I loved him for some odd reason It’s outrageous how time flies When we feel our lows and highs I’m sobering up and it’s not easy being me I’m hovering above the surface of ecstasy Girl, I’m sorry I let you down This boy in mind makes me drown In my tears of terrible tribulation Girl, I wish I could be with you, but I can’t to my devastation Self-sabotaged myself too much to be with you, babe I can’t handle the shade and the blame and the shame I came undone when I was going through my lows and highs
