EMOTIONAL DETACHMENT DEMO
Jessie Reyez
Met your new girl at Johnny's party
I had to smile and say: What up?
Then I ran my ass to the bathroom
So I could cry about old love
I came back in with makeup smudged up
You caught me wipe it quick low-key
And then you got this weak-ass smile up on your face
As if to say you're sorry, it couldn't be me
Wish I could be your friend
And not hurt so bad
Wish I could be your friend
And not hurt so bad, yeah
I search the room looking for solace
You know whiskey always helps me
Then we lock eyes when I start pouring
Obviously, I'm not doing well
But we can't talk 'cause it ain't appropriate
And she knows exactly who I am
She pulls you close and tells you maybe y'all should go
And then she smiles at me, she smiles because she can
Wish I could be your friend
And not hurt so bad
Wish I could be your friend
And not hurt, hurt so bad
Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah
So bad, baby, oh, so bad
So bad, so bad, so bad, so bad
So bad, so bad, so bad, so bad, so bad, so bad
I wish it didn't hurt so bad, so bad, so bad, so bad, so bad
You wanna know when you finally get better
You get better when you finally fucking tired of being sad
I'm sure that I'm the villain in somebody else's story
But this ain't their fuckin' song now, is it?
And I'm sure that someone out there thinks that I should say I'm sorry
But what they think really ain't my business
And I miss the old me who never gave a shit
They say ignorance is bliss and now I get it
The years, they gave me wisdom, but they gave me headaches too
And now I know better than to argue with a fool
So I stay quiet
I stay quiet
I heard my old lover still be talkin' shit about me
But that sound like it's their new boo's problem
And even if they said it to my face, I think I'd smile
'Cause I learned peace of mind is all I wanted
Finally growing, cost me quite a bit
They say ignorance is bliss and now I get it
The years they gave me wisdom, but they gave me heartaches too
And now I know better than to argue with a fool
So I stay quiet
I stay quiet
I stay quiet
I stay quiet
