lyrics

I was never gon present an easy solution
I bet that no one can but you can keep lookin
I got caught up in the mix
You knew what you were doin
You knew what you were doin

I wonder if you felt the same when I left
But it doesn't matter, it doesn’t matter
Your hands know how to take
You's a steady grabber, ya steady grabber
I tried to call the shots but you do not answer
I tried to run away but you run faster
You're a slow cancer
You get what you want or its over after
Work yourself into a coma, you're more drone than mammal
Sequester all our dreams as collateral
Collateral, collateral

You put me in my place yet you still misplaced me
Took me out on dates, said we weren't dating
All I'm tryna say is you're pretty rude bae
You knew what you were doin
You knew what you were doin

I wonder if you felt the same when I left
But it doesn't matter, it doesn’t matter
Your hands know how to take
You's a steady grabber, ya steady grabber
I tried to call the shots but you do not answer
I tried to run away but you run faster
You're a slow cancer
You get what you want or its over after
Work yourself into a coma, you're more drone than mammal
Sequester all our dreams as collateral
Collateral

Collateral
Collateral

I ain’t never gon present an easy solution
You know what you’re doin
You know what you’re doin

I wonder if you felt the same when I left
But it doesn't matter, it doesn’t matter
Your hands know how to take
You's a steady grabber, it doesn’t matter
I tried to call the shots (answer)
I tried to run away (run faster)
You're a slow cancer
You get what you want, you get what you want
Work yourself into a coma, you're more drone than mammal
Sequester all our dreams as collateral

You knew
You knew
You knew
You knew
