  • I'd be the last to say I've got problems
    Embarrassed to admit that I can't solve them
    You know when I'm tellin' lies
    It's impossible to hide
    Yeah, you catch me every time
    And you call me out, you say

    "God damn, baby, you drink like Hemingway
    But your writing's no good and your songs all sound the same
    You gotta give up this act, you don't know how to play
    And come back down before it's too late, mm
    You gotta come back down before it's too late, mm"

    You listen and you judge, I probably need it
    You do it out of love, I'm unable to receive it
    Yeah, my breath never lies
    The disappointment in your eyes
    You know all of the signs
    And then you call me out, you say

    "God damn, baby, you drink like Hemingway
    But your writing's no good and your songs all sound the same
    You better give up this act, you don't know how to play
    And come back down before it's too late, mm
    You need come back down 'cause this is insane, mm"

    Letting myself go
    Crashing at the bottom
    There's no light at the end of the bottle
    Wasting away like
    I've got nine lives
    Enough is not enough but my body's saying, "Stop"
    So I gotta listen up when you say

    "God damn, baby, you drink like Hemingway
    But your writing's no good and your songs all sound the same
    You better give up this act, you don't know how to play
    And come back down before it's too late, mm
    You need come back down 'cause this isn't safe, mm" Writer/s: Marie Ulven, Matias Tellez
