Do you read my interviews?

Or do you skip my avenue? (My avenue)

Am

When you (when you) said you were passing through

Dm G

Was I even on your way?

C

I knew when I asked you to (when I asked you to)

E

Be cool about what I was telling you

Am

You'd do the opposite of what you said you'd do (what you said you'd do)

Dm G

And I'd end up more afraid

Don't say it isn't fair

You clearly weren't aware

So if you really wanna know

You call me again

Drunk in your Benz

Driving home under the influence

You scared me to death

Am

But I'm wasting my breath

F C

'Cause you only listen to your fucking friends

E

I don't relate to you

Am F

I don't relate to you, no

C E

'Cause I'd never treat me this shitty

Am F

You made me hate this city

C E

And I don't talk shit about you on the internet

Am F

Never told anyone anything bad

C

'Cause that shit's embarrassing

E

You were my everything

Am F

And all that you did was make me fucking sad

C E

So don't waste the time I don't have

Am F

And don't try to make me feel bad

C

I could talk about every time

E

That you showed up on time

Am F

But I'd have an empty line 'cause you never did

C E

Never paid any mind to my mother or friends

Am F

So I shut 'em all out for you 'cause I was a kid

C E

You ruined everything good

Am F

Always said you were misunderstood

C E

Made all my moments your own

Am F

Just fucking leave me alone

(Ooh…. Ooh..)
