Lyrics

i heard he's into martial arts, breath work, and tai chi,
he's got no passion for fashion, he's just a tshirt and jeans
catch him at java junction ordering a herbal iced tea
and telling his assistant at length about the toxins in milk coffee
he's all about positive thinking, im sure you fucking love that,
he looks just like the guy you were dating when we met
i'm not one for conspiracy, it's the biggest coincidence yet
i hope you're happy together, again
but remember:
there was a reason why it didn't work in the first place
and i think you already know
all of the reasons why it didn't work in the first place
just give it time
i know he's got a powder problem, and he's selfish in bed
you said you got tired of lying there unreciprocated
was it just four magic words that helped you forget
about all the times that you lied and said you were into it
i don't mean to patronize, i just think people don't change
beyond my bruised sense of self-worth
there's philosophy at play
fool me once, shame on you
but after that it's fair game
i think it's inevitable now, i just wonder how long it takes
because
there was a reason why it didn't work in the first place
and i think you already know
all of the reasons why it didn't work in the first place
just give it time
he's got work in the morning
some big name collab
without another word said
he calls a taxi cab
and as you lie in the dark
maybe then it will dawn
that he's still full of shit
and nothing's changed at all
there was a reason why it didn't work in the first place
