11:11 Lyrics
Man, I been stressing 'bout the boy I never loved
And I been getting caught up 'cause I think too much
Haven't slept in weeks 'cause, yeah, there's more I want
To get out of my life
[Verse 2]
But every now and then I get inside my head
Thinking 'bout the things I could've done instead
Could be going crazy, I know lately, been making
You hate me from all that I am
[Pre-Chorus]
And I'm so very sorry
Everything's staying the same
And I'm so very sorry
I told you I'd change
[Chorus]
Now I'm lying in my bed at 11:11
Tryna make a wish, got all of these questions
I can't mess it up, I'll really regret it
Guess I'm relying on this very second
11:11
[Verse 3]
Man, I been working with the fear of missing out
Wishing I was somewhere till I come around
Caught up in the future, tryna tell right now
But I can't see a thing
And I'm so very sorry
Everything's staying the same
And I'm so very sorry
I told you I'd change
[Chorus]
Now I'm lying in my bed at 11:11
Tryna make a wish, got all of these questions
I can't mess it up, I'll really regret it
Guess I'm relying on this very second
11:11
