Jessie Reyez - EMOTIONAL DETACHMENT DEMO Lyrics

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah

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 make up 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 (oh yeah)
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, mm
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, 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 f*cking tired of being sad

I'm sure that I'm the villain in somebody else's story
But this ain't their f*ckin' 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
