Lyrics

Y'all got it by itself
Yeah
Ooh
Ooh
Mm
Yeah
Uh
You would embrace the pain and drown in judgment (Drown in judgment)
Me, I just paddle and keep my head above it (Head above it)
You're in a world that'll tell you what to do (What to do)
Me, I say, "Fuck it," and give the world to you (World to you)
You would get lost in rumors that's in the city (In the city)
Me, I just find a reason to keep you with me (With me)
You're tryin' fittin' in when it never pays (Never pays)
Me, I just tell you how you've been custom made (Custom made)
I see your insecurities, take them all in stride
You won't ever see a lie that I could hide behind
We smoke and drink for a sense of peace that we've been tryna find
Until we eye to eye with our demons in the sky
Why your friends so extra, extra, extra?
Going out of their own way to say I'm every other guy that left you
Why your friends so extra, extra, extra?
Don't borrow opinions, there ain't nothin' better, extra (Yeah, uh)
Little Miss Independent and her homies
How many of them told you independence could be lonely?
How many of 'em is runnin' back to they
Man after sayin' they don't need him?
I hope that you understand, it's all a part of the plan
To hide you from the real, make you feel
Irreplaceable and jaded like you will
I know you worry 'bout all of them bills, bills, bills
No scrubs here, unless I operate on how you feel, huh
Let that sink in, young **** here with any kind of prescription
Treat a clean slate like you only tryna find it at
The bottom of the glass or whatever you drinkin'
It's all new, don't credit no one else, baby, it's all you
After a call, you just really had to fall through
And give some meanin' to hopin' somethin' beyond you
Words to believe in that isn't just in a song too
Why your friends so extra, extra, extra?
Going out of their own way to say I'm every other guy that left you
Why your friends so extra, extra, extra?
Don't borrow opinions, there ain't nothin' better, extra
See the girls out here that's lookin' for love
Or at least the highlights under lights of the club
The ones that's lookin' past the men that used to be enough
And settlin' for fuckboys and parties and drugs
You see the boys out here that's lookin' for lust
And double down just to stop you from lookin' for trust
And do more drinkin' and smokin' than anyone does
That's either liars or cheaters or all the above
Hmm, take a chance, don't bottle your envy
What stories you wanna tell at the end of your twenties?
We could either hold on to Disney stories and destiny
Or revel in the part of our stories that's really meant to be
Like makin' the mistakes of the real (Ta-da)
Or lookin' for whatever we feel (Ta-da)
Baby, if curiosity kills, how many mothers
Will be pinin' over funeral bills, huh?
Why your friends so extra, extra, extra?
Going out of their own way to say I'm every other guy that left you
Why your friends so extra, extra, extra?
Don't borrow opinions, there ain't nothin' better, extra
Extra, extra, read all about it (Ta-da)
Extra, extra, read all about it (Ta-da)
Extra, extra, read all about it (Ta-da)
Extra, extra, who are you without it? (Ta-da)
Extra, extra, read all about it (Ta-da)
Extra, extra, read all about it (Ta-da)
Extra, extra, read all about it (Ta-da)
Extra, extra, who are you without it?
I felt like I just lost control of everything
She, she walked away and broke my spirit
My heart, my soul
I didn't understand it
Was it for somebody else? Was it for somethin' else?
It just felt so hard to move from there
And I didn't know what else I had to live for
In spite of myself, I thought she was the one
