James Howard - Crush Lyrics

Jacob fell in love with Emily in middle school
He was an object of ridicule, but he's veridical
While Emily hung with the popular kids, she seemed to be enjoying
But behind her back, they said she's annoying
Nonetheless, Jacob wanted to impress her, thinking he ain't strong without her
So he decides to write a song about her
He never showed it to her but told a few friends
Meanwhile, Emily is following the new trends
At one point, she seemed to be flirting with Jacob
Looking like she could hook a steak up
Homie gotta wake up, he ain't got no shot with her
All he does is take up his feelings and go too soft on her
Never even talks to her, just another classmate
The pressure increases at a fast rate, he's got a bad taste
Tried out for football, figured his rep will be grown
But ending up quitting cuz nobody made him feel at home

Now they're in high school, Jacob thinks this shit will get better
He's got two classes with Emily, here's his chance to go get her
She just opened an Insta, decides to follow her
But she blocked him, now his hopes are feeling hollower
She did the same on Snap for no reason
Now depression starts kicking in, Jacob feels like his soul's been eaten
Cuz now the girl of his dreams doesn't like him back
It's time to move on and find a new hiking path
And every party she hosts, won't accept him either
The f*ck is wrong with her? When did Jacob mistreat her?
This shit's a wreckage, Jacob sends a message asking why she hates him
She says she doesn't, so what's up with this situation?
Is it cuz Jacob ain't popular?
How can you treat a guy this way when he don't talk to ya?
That's the last time Jacob spoke to Emily
She switched schools after that, ending Jacob's reveries

One night, Jacob went out to dinner
With his beautiful wife whose kind and tender
But then he recognized a familiar face at the bar
A woman drunk as hell and puffing cigars
It was Emily, looking like she was about to fall
She had no self-control over the alcohol
Now I'm a drinker myself, but think about it
A drunk ass bitch, nobody wanna hang out with
Now Emily wants to get with Jacob like he once dreamed of
She told him "We can just keep this between us"
Jacob was like "Too late, bitch missed your chance"
I thought you were perfect, guess it was just a trance
To anybody who's failing at love, listen to me
There's plenty of fish in the sea, you're just missing the key
She's the wrong one, she made your heart shatter
But in the long run, it won't matter
