So you might as well stick it in Just a heart broke bitch High heels six inch In the back of the nightclub, sipping champagne I don’t trust any of these bitches I’m with In the back of the taxi sniffing cocaine Drunk calls, drunk texts, drunk tears, drunk sex I was looking for a man who’s on the same page Now it’s back to the intro, back to the bar To the Bentley, to the hotel, to my old ways ’Cause I don’t wanna feel how I did last night I don’t wanna feel how I did last night Doctor, doctor, anything, please Doctor, doctor, have mercy on me Take this pain away You’re asking me my symptoms, doctor I don’t wanna feel (What?) ’Cause I don’t wanna feel like I felt last night I don’t wanna feel like I felt last night Be at peace with the things you can’t change (Last night) I’ll be naked when I leave and I was naked when I came, yeah Out of reach, out of touch, too numb, I don’t feel no way Toast up, so what, street small but it go both ways So, you’ll run, but you’ll never escape Sunset in the maze (You’re asking me my symptoms, doctor, I don’t wanna feel) I don’t wanna feel how I did last night I don’t wanna feel how I did last night, oh Doctor, doctor, anything, please Doctor, doctor, have mercy on me You’re asking me my symptoms, doctor I don’t wanna feel I don’t wanna feel how I did last night I don’t wanna feel how I did last night I don’t, I don’t- how I did last night Mhmm lipstick smudged like modern art I don’t know where the fuck I am Or who’s driving the fucking car Speeding down the highway sippin’ Mixing pills with the liquor ’Cause fuck these feelings I left everyone I love on read (Uh-uh) Spilling secrets to the stranger in my bed (Uh-uh) I remember nothing so there’s nothing to regret (Uh-uh) #RAYE #Escapism #My21stCenturyBlues
