lyrics

On the first day I rose, nervous and broke
Because I can't sleep with you
And I think that you know I fall soft beneath your stroke
But it doesn't mean I miss you
So I'll throw back that hard liquor love
Knowing you're the last thing that I'll be thinking of
And your eyes, they shined like they knew me
I don't why they permeate through me
And I'm fine with anything do to me

On the second day I slept in someone else's bed
And I told you about it
The only mistake I've made is buried in your name
But I'm nothing without it
So here's two to eight months that I wasted in waiting
And all that time you spent debating
If I was worth your time
Undefined by blurred lines
You undermined my drive
To prove I was better than the last one
To prove I was better than the last one

By the third day I knew it wouldn't bother you
If I'd stop calling
But that same night I slept my head buried in your chest
To prevent you from falling
So let your hands wander and I'll let my mind stay
High and buzzed and tired from fighting
Because old habits die hard
Old habits die hard

Humble and quiet, her music takes a big step outside of modern hip hop's braggadocio. ... more
