Lyrics
[Verse]
Oh, I see you forgot my name
No worries, bae, I feel the same
No tropes for you, this ain't a play
Enemies to lovers for the easily swayed
[Pre-Chorus]
But anyways - we're not that cliche
Minds maligned by all the things we say
We ferry these thoughts, yet they run out-of-sync
Such a waste of intellect when you act before you think
White lies and sweet aughts, I never loved you
Pour one up because I'm glad we're through
Down another, top it off and consume
Oh! how it hurts and I just don't get it, what a paradox (paradox)
[Chorus]
Waning into the night, wake up, still alive, use my pulse as the alarm
Wasting away the day, choke up, curtain call, put my heart in a box
Waning into the night, wake up, still alive, use my pulse as the alarm
Wasting away the day, choke up, curtain call, put my heart in a box
[Verse]
So that's how you wanna be
Guess this life is a comedy
That's okay, don't need no loyalty
Me, myself and I is the philosophy
[Pre-Chorus]
And by the way - the world is my stage
Sad is in and I'm all the rage
Always chasing dreams, yet they remain out of reach
Tie the knot was just a figure of speech
White lies and sweet aughts, I never loved you
Pour one up because I'm glad we're through
Down another, top it off and consume
Oh! how it hurts and I just don't get it, what a paradox
[Chorus]
Waning into the night, wake up, still alive, use my pulse as the alarm
Wasting away the day, choke up, curtain call, put my heart in a box
Waning into the night, wake up, still alive, use my pulse as the alarm
Wasting away the day, choke up, curtain call, put my heart in a box
Wasting away the day, choke up, curtain call, put my heart in a box
Waning into the night, wake up, still alive, use my pulse as the alarm
Wasting away the day, choke up, curtain call, put my heart in a box
[Bridge]
The mind is a matter of duality
A cacophony of ease and anxiety
This disparity between truth and fallacy
Just puts love at the heart of irony
[Outro]
White lies and sweet aughts, I never loved you
Pour one up because I'm glad we're through
Down another, top it off and consume
Oh! how it hurts and I just don't get it, what a paradox
