## Lyrics

I won't lie, I don't love you all the time, baby

I do sometimes but it's hard for me to fall in, baby

Put yourself down, have a little shame

Help me bring it back before we go away

We are all the same, we are all to blame

I don't need to say anybody's name

I'm a fucking heartache, I'm the alien

No, I'm not from Mars but I'm sure it's where I'll get

All wars comin' first, Star Wars comin' next

It'll always be a mess, we were all forced to exist

I won't lie, I don't love you all the time, baby (I won't lie)

I do sometimes (yeah) but it's hard for me to find, baby

(Sometimes)

Yeah, look, 24/7, I be playing, shit

You call my line, I hit decline, you know I ain't shit

And ancient history told me "play the game, shawty"

Cleopatra and Nefertiti, them titties have you left for dead

But when they see me gleaming on TV, I be in they head

Don't let me put my peenie on TV, that's a lot of head

Pornstar, pornstar, might as well be

'Cause my D, he a pornstar, say hi (hello)

I'm a stay fly (fellow)

I don't make time for hoes, break her heart then I play my cello

Shalom, farewell, and chop, I'm in, I'm out

I hit, I'm out, I can't love with the doubt

We fight, we fuck, we fuck-fight, fight, we fuck

I think it sucks, like:

"Why we gotta talk so much?"

We switch it up, like we ain't gotta speak on none

We fuck, we fuck, we fuck, fuck, fuck and fuck

[Bridge: Jesse Rutherford]

Back in the day we was lay in the sun

Found out that I need a son, always had fun

Back in the day in the sun

Al-always had back in the

I don't feel the way that I used to (anymore)

I don't ever wanna confuse you (anymore)

We were never on the same page (never ever)

And it might be time for a change

But what do I do if I lose you?

Do you remember when we were friends?

Nothing more than that had to last

Told me that you had my back

I said "I've got yours back, no matter what you do"

No matter where you go, I'll be there to let you know, I'll be true

No matter what's at stake, I won't ever lie or fake

We both know something's off, it's so easy to see

We know it's obvious but don't wanna believe it

Di-didn't do the best but we got there first

Huddled up together when the weather got worse

There for each other for whatever like brothers so we gotta make it work

I don't feel the way that I used to (anymore)

I don't ever wanna confuse you (anymore)

We were never on the same page (never ever)

And it might be time for a change

But what do I do if I lose you?

Jesse, Santo de Paris, I swear, I'm just sitting over here in the chair

But I'm downstairs, I'm doing my hairs

Dude, your concert was off the chain, bro

I saw it in Brasil, it went freaking nuts

You are a freaking star

You know, dude, everybody in life has a place

And that's where your place is

In the—in the limelight, you know?

'Cause you're a freaking star, dude, let me tell ya
