lyrics

[Intro]
I’m telling you
Don’t go
Compelling you
With our home
Cause I’m missing you
And you are barely gone
And I’m kissing you
Like nothing’s even wrong

[Verse 1]
Oh she said no
Didn’t even get her clothes
Left me a paper note
Only 4 words is all she wrote
But cants a contraction
There’s no hope
No action
We both know the answer
We consumed by cancer

[Chorus]
I’m telling you
Don’t go
Compelling you
With our home
Cause I’m missing you
And you are barely gone
And I’m kissing you
Like nothing’s even wrong
Oh oh oh

[Verse 2]
Oh now my bedside empty
(Empty)
Loving couples I envy
(Envy)
Hit the bottle til it’s empty
(Empty)
She with another man friendly
Can’t tek no more
Or black diamonds
hiding in the drawer
Or sitting here looking at the door
Like this can’t be right
She can’t leave

[Repeat Chorus x2]
