Lyrics:
Chorus:
I tell myself I love it
I keep my buzz up to keep my mind off of it
I tell myself I love it
So numb me out and dumb me down
Till I forget i don't have you
Till I forget i don't have you
Verse 1:
I wake up,
And I wreak of,
A bottle,
Of vodka.
Reach for the,
Nightstand,
My hand,
On my cup.
Take another sip.
Cure the hangover.
Think I’m starting to get the hang of it.
Scroll down my news feed
I’m looking for drama
Best way to forget my own problems
Stop frontin'
Hit the lock button,
In my reflection,
Lipsticks prints on my cheek.
I used to say sleep's for the weak,
I used to say sleep's for the weak, yeah,
I used to say sleep’s for the weak,
But today I need sleep for a week, ay ay,
Live my life, in a haze,
just to forget that I feel pain.
Chorus:
I tell myself I love it
I keep my buzz up to keep my mind off of it
I tell myself I love it
So numb me out and dumb me down
Till I forget i don't have you
Have you
So numb me out and dumb me down
till I forget I don’t have
Verse 2:
It’s the,
only way not to get hurt,
she must have taken my sweatshirt,
with her cause,
she loves how it smells like my cologne.
but I couldn’t leave well enough alone.
—
Take a hot shower,
and her name appears,
scribbled in script,
in the fog of a mirror.
try to forget it so I wipe it clear
In my reflection,
Lipsticks prints on my cheek.
I used to say sleep's for the weak,
I used to say sleep's for the weak,
I used to say sleep’s for the weak,
But today I need sleep for a week.
Chorus:
I tell myself I love it
I keep my buzz up to keep my mind off of it
I tell myself I love it
So numb me out and dumb me down
Till I forget i don't have you
Have you
So numb me out and dumb me down
Till I forget i don't have you
have you
have you
