 I can't stop thinkin'
 Thinking 'bout sinkin'
 Sinkin' down into my bed
 I call my mother
 She's just a cunt now
 She said I'm sick in the head
 She said you ain't special
 So who you foolin'
 Don't try ta give me a line

(Oh no)
But I already left you
And you're better off left behind

 Too bad you're fucked up


 COUPLET

 I used to be wasted
 Always tried to take it
 Take it down into my vein
 I call the doctor
 He's just another
 He said I'm sick in the brain
 He said you ain't special
 So who you foolin'
 Don't try ta give me a line

 But I can't stop thinking 'bout doin' it one more time
 (Oh no)
 But I already left you
 And you're better off left behind
 (Oh yeah)


 REFRAIN

 It's a bad obsession
 It's always messin'
 It's always messin' my mind
 It's a bad obsession
 It's always messin'
 It's always messin' my mind
