[Verse 1]
Is it self-inflicted self-destruction
I get hung up on grand productions
Now I can’t sleep
They say pick your battles carefully
But you stopped by so carelessly
I wish you’d leave
And it all feels so aimless
‘Til it doesn’t
And I want back my headspace
When it wasn’t
So addled and cynical
[Chorus]
‘Cause I’m not here for you
You act like I can’t choose
I’m tired of running circles as if I’m not in control
I’m still in control (I’m still, I’m still in control)
Of you
[Verse 2]
You went and left me spiralling
You act entitled and pull the strings so
I feel lost
But one day you’ll see what I can do
The day I start ignoring you
You’ll watch in awe
And it all felt so painless for a minute
You act so blameless when you visit
But this time
You’ll stay away
[Chorus]
‘Causе I’m not here for you
You act like I can’t choosе
I’m tired of running circles
As if I’m not in control
I’m still in control (I’m still, I’m still in control)
[Ending]
Though you still knock
I know I’m not
Here for you
You look so small after all
You put me through
You tie a tight knot
Turns out you’re not here for me
What did I know
Broke me down so quietly
You took my life
Better say goodbye
As I take it back
Didn’t think you’d learn
I’ll repeat my words
I’m not here for you
(I’m not here...for you)
Is it self-inflicted self-destruction
I get hung up on grand productions
Now I can’t sleep
They say pick your battles carefully
But you stopped by so carelessly
I wish you’d leave
And it all feels so aimless
‘Til it doesn’t
And I want back my headspace
When it wasn’t
So addled and cynical
[Chorus]
‘Cause I’m not here for you
You act like I can’t choose
I’m tired of running circles as if I’m not in control
I’m still in control (I’m still, I’m still in control)
Of you
[Verse 2]
You went and left me spiralling
You act entitled and pull the strings so
I feel lost
But one day you’ll see what I can do
The day I start ignoring you
You’ll watch in awe
And it all felt so painless for a minute
You act so blameless when you visit
But this time
You’ll stay away
[Chorus]
‘Causе I’m not here for you
You act like I can’t choosе
I’m tired of running circles
As if I’m not in control
I’m still in control (I’m still, I’m still in control)
[Ending]
Though you still knock
I know I’m not
Here for you
You look so small after all
You put me through
You tie a tight knot
Turns out you’re not here for me
What did I know
Broke me down so quietly
You took my life
Better say goodbye
As I take it back
Didn’t think you’d learn
I’ll repeat my words
I’m not here for you
(I’m not here...for you)
