You had me sit down with you to explain everything
So I said that "I still love you, but I bought her a ring"
Now I'm wrapped around her finger like she's messing with string
How'd this happen to me?
How'd this happen to me?
Like she's messing with string
Like she's messing with string-
(Hold up)
Like she's messing with string
Like she's messing with string, -ing -ing
Like she's messing with string
Like she's messing with string, -ing -ing
Like she's messing with string
Like she's messing with string
I don't wanna talk too much about it
This feeling is so crowding
Everywhere I go, can't go without it
It's making me so sore
Everything I wanted
All thrown out and rotted
I can't be restored
I'm so self absorbed
Like she's messing with string
Like she's messing with string-
(Watch me)
Like she's messing with string
Like she's messing with string, -ing -ing
Like she's messing with string
Like she's messing with string, -ing -ing
Like she's messing with string
Like she's messing with string
You had me sit down with you to explain everything
So I said that "I still love you, but I bought her a ring"
Now I'm wrapped around her finger like she's messing with string
How'd this happen to me?
How'd this happen to me?
All those texts I won't erase
She's someone I can't replace
But I just want to be with you tonight
It's a suffocating space
Tears were rolling down her face
Is there a way without air to breathe alright?

I put my arms around her
Said "it's gonna be okay"
Cause our love is like the sand
It's never washing away
Even if you need space
I'll come back another day
It'll all be okay-
