Doses

(album: Balloons - 2022)

Now everything has changed
She said I'm just a poison
A toxic in her brain
Now everything annoys her
I'm dirty like a stain
Feels like adiós when she says
"I can only handle you in doses"
So light em' up, light em' up, light em' up
Like a firework, firework, firework
She don't want the roses
Ooh she let me know that
I can only handle you in doses

It's feeling like I've worn out my welcome
Like pots and pans made out of teflon
We were cooking, we were even taking lessons
Funny all the money spent, now you're second guessing

But I can brush it off
I ain't even tripping bout the cost
Ask her how much time she need
She said she need a lot
I reckon she gon' message me the day she needs some (woo!)

But that's how it has to be...

Now everything has changed
She said I'm just a poison
A toxic in her brain
Now everything annoys her I'm dirty like a stain
Feels like adiós when she says
"I can only handle you in doses"
So light em' up, light em' up, light em' up
Like a firework, firework, firework
She don't want the roses
Ooh she let me know that
I can only handle you in doses

I gave you all of everything and then some
Yet you were over my attention
Gave you every inch you gave me bread crumbs
Despite my gluten allergy
My stomach and fatigue

But here we go again
You push away and try to pull me in
But not this time...
Yeah, I'ma go fuck your friends

Now everything has changed
She said I'm just a poison
A toxic in her brain
Now everything annoys her I'm dirty like a stain
Feels like adiós when she says
"I can only handle you in doses"
So light em' up, light em' up, light em' up
Like a firework, firework, firework
She don't want the roses
Ooh she let me know that
I can only handle you in doses

But here we go again
You push away and try to pull me in
But not this time...
Yeah, I'ma go fuck your friends
