Lyrics

Met a girl she's a submarine
She gets underneath my skin
Forget about her

Holds my tongue when I go to speak
And now I'm tied up, timid
Forget about it

It's so hard to tell
(Whether or not you're being framed)
It's so hard to tell
(Whether or not you're being fake)
It's best to just erase that name
And walk away...

Anywhere, anyone will break you down
An idiot, an idiom will cut you out

Found a filter for empathy
And it's a sore spot, a weak point
Forget about love

Not someone that you hope to meet
After a long night, a weekend
Forget about it

Anywhere, anyone will break you down
An idiot, an idiom will cut you out
