'Scuse me baby
What you think 'bout lately
You been on my mind every time I feel alone, yuh
I feel alone, yeah
Thoughts of you petrified all my why's
Now I'm tryna find all the love from inside
And you felt like home, yuh
And now I'm letting u go, yuh
'Cuz I got shit to do
And ever since I split with you
My heart's been in splints convinced you left me on a lie
Said you really enjoyed seeing me
Wanted to share some more time
But clarified us as unexclusive
And made love with another guy
And that hurt, yuh, just like you said it would
Felt broken and inadequate despite circumstances defining where we stood
And I said to myself "Where's your f*cking self-respect?"
"How you tryna win over a woman who's been singing 'thank u, next'?"
And to be honest I was naive, ready to attach and devote
And you were fresh out of a break up just tryna feel alive and let go
And in the beginning, you even expressed
You wanted to take things slow
But I didn't listen, built my prison
And ignored your previous cataclysms, I know
'Scuse me baby
What you think 'bout lately
You been on my mind every time I feel alone
I feel alone, yuh
But being with you's been the most beautiful stepping-stone
And even though the process has been slow
I'm letting you go, yuh
And now I'm letting you go
Because baby you revealed all my flaws, I'm growing
And I'm hopin' that u heal all your scars, and so it
Seems I'll admire from afar
You used to warm me up like a sun
Now you just a faraway star, and it goes
'Scuse me baby
What you think 'bout lately
You been on my mind every time I feel alone
I feel alone, yeah
But being with you's been the most beautiful stepping-stone
And even though the process has been slow
I'm letting you go, yuh
And now I'm letting you go, yuh
'Scuse me baby
What you think 'bout lately
You been on
You been on my mind, yeah
And all we need is time
To heal our scars
Before we fall apart, oh
Or at least to dull the pain
