Lyrics
I can't stop thinkin' thinking 'bout sinkin'
Sinkin' down into my bed
I call my mother
She's just a cunt now
She said I'm sick in the head
She said you ain't special
So who you foolin'
Don't try ta give me a line
But I can't stop thinkin' 'bout seein' ya one more time
(Oh no)
But I already left you and you're better off left behind

It's a bad obsession
It's always messin'
It's always messin' my mind
It's a bad obsession
It's always messin'
It's always messin' my mind

Too bad you're fucked up

I used to be wasted always tried to take it
Take it down into my vein
I call the doctor, he's just another
He said I'm sick in the brain
He said you ain't special
So who you foolin'
Don't try ta give me a line
But I can't stop thinkin' 'bout doin' it one more time
(Oh no)
But I already left you and you're better off left behind
(Oh yeah)

Aw it's a bad obsession
It's always messin'
It's always messin' my mind
It's a bad obsession
It's always messin'
It's always messin' my mind

So bad, boy

It's a
It's a
Heads up

It's a bad obsession
It's always messin'
It's always messin' my mind
Now it's a bad obsession
It's always messin'
It's always messin' my mind

But I can't stop thinkin' 'bout doin' it one more time
(Oh no)
See I already left you and you're better off left behind
(Oh no, oh no)
It's a bad obsession and you're always messin' my mind
See I already left you and you're better off left behind
Uh huh no

Maybe you'll do better next time
