Buyer’s Remorse Lyrics

[Verse 1: Daniel Caesar]
I guess I got what I prayed for
Now you're in my bed

I guess we look good on paper
Thoughts run through my head


[Pre-Chorus: Daniel Caesar]
I know you think you've got me wrapped around your fingers
And what's behind those cold dead eyes? A life lingers

[Chorus: Daniel Caesar]
How 'bout if I lay you down? (My fault if I lay you down)
You gotta go too often (Was it my fault? If I lay you down, just hop out, bitch)
How 'bout if I lay you down (My fault, if I lay you down, just)
Starting today (Hop out, if I lay you down, was it my fault, bitch?)

[Verse 2: Daniel Caesar]
I guess I got what I prayed for
Angels over head
And yeah, it's not what I slaved for
Worked myself to death

[Pre-Chorus: Daniel Caesar]
I know you think you got me wrapped around your fingers
And what's behind those cold dead eyes? A life lingers
[Chorus: Daniel Caesar]
How 'bout if I lay you down? (My fault if I lay you down)
You gotta go too often (Was it my fault? If I lay you down, just hop out, bitch)
How 'bout if I lay you down (My fault, if I lay you down, just)
Starting today (Hop out, if I lay you down, was it my fault, bitch?)
How 'bout if I lay you down?
You gotta go too often
How 'bout if I lay you down
Starting today

[Outro: Omar Apollo]
I wouldn't changе
Oh, I wouldn't dare to change
How I feel about you
How I feel about it
