## Lyrics

**[Intro]**

(Ah, ah, ah, a-ah)

**[Verse 1]**

First you're on top of the world (A-ah)

And then that world just ended (A-ah)

You think you're driving down the highway (A-ah)

But then you're in the trenches (A-ah)

**[Pre-Chorus]**

Butterflies are kinda nice I guess

But my tummy hurts, I'm getting sick of it

Been bruised over, over again

So, you know what?

**[Chorus]**

Screw feelings, I don't want 'em anymore

One second I'm on fire, then I'm bored

When I try them on, I end up insecure

Screw feelings, screw feelings (You know what?)

Screw feelings, I don't want 'em anymore

One second I'm on fire, then I'm bored

I just took 'em off and throw 'em on the floor

Screw feelings, screw feelings

**[Verse 2]**

Scared of the day it hits me (A-ah)

A baseball bat to my heart (A-ah)

**[Pre-Chorus]**

Butterflies are kinda nice I guess

But my tummy hurts, I'm getting sick of it

Been bruised over, over again

So, you know what?

**[Chorus]**

Screw feelings, I don't want 'em anymore (Anymore)

One second I'm on fire, then I'm bored (Then I'm bored)

When I try them on, I end up insecure

Screw feelings, screw feelings (You know what?)

Screw feelings, I don't want 'em anymore

One second I'm on fire, then I'm bored

I just took 'em off and throw 'em on the floor

Screw feelings, screw feelings

**[Post-Chorus]**

Screw feelings (Yeah)

Screw feelings (Yeah)

Screw feelings (Yeah)

You know what?

Screw feelings (Yeah)

Screw feelings (Yeah)

Screw feelings (Yeah)

You know what?

**[Outro]**

A-ah, a-ah, a-ah (Yeah, a-ah)

A-ah, a-ah, a-ah (Yeah, a-ah)

You know what?

(I think I like this song more than I like you)

A-ah, a-ah, a-ah (Yeah, a-ah)

A-ah, a-ah, a-ah (Yeah, a-ah)

Yeah
