[Verse 1]
I've been thinkin' that life's too short
So many friends got their life cut short
Now I'm standing here doing lines in the bathroom
I hate myself, but I felt like I had to

[Pre-Chorus]
(Ooh) I've been hiding pain that's underneath
And I've been up so long, I'm scared to sleep
And if something were to happen to me
Can someone please

[Chorus]
Tell my mama that I love her
And I'm sorry for the pain, sorry for the pain
That I caused her when I was younger
All the stress I put her under
Tell my mama that I love her
And I'm sorry for the pain, sorry for the pain
That I caused her when I was younger
All the stress I put her under

[Verse 2]
And everybody says that I've been manic
I think they might be right, but I still manage
Lately, I've been so annoyed
'Cause they think that I'm just paranoid

[Pre-Chorus]
(Ooh) I've been hiding pain that's underneath
And I've been up so long, I'm scared to sleep
And if something were to happen to me
Can someone please

[Chorus]
Tell my mama that I love her
And I'm sorry for the pain, sorry for the pain
That I caused her when I was younger
All the stress I put her under
Tell my mama that I love her
And I'm sorry for the pain, sorry for the pain
That I caused her when I was younger
All the stress I put her under

[Bridge]
I've been thinkin' that life's too short
So many friends got their life cut short
And I remember when I said I'd never be like this
Be like this

[Chorus]
Tell my mama that I love her
And I'm sorry for the pain, sorry for the pain
That I caused her when I was younger
All the stress I put her under
Tell my mama that I love her (Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah)
And I'm sorry for the pain, sorry for the pain
That I caused her when I was younger
All the stress I put her under

Lauv

With an affection for electronic and R&B sounds, infused with his soulful bedroom vocals and airy beats, Ari Staprans Leff, known professionally as Lauv, has burst onto the music scene with his intimate take on romantic pop.

Lauv’s musical beginnings started in childhood, learning strings as well as playing piano, but neither captivated his interest. However, his connection with music grew when he picked up a guitar at the age of 11. From there, Lauv became obsessed with expressing himself musically, which channeled into an interest in songwriting.

Eventually he made his way to New York University (NYU) in 2012, and entered the prestigious Music Technology Program there, having expanded his music interests into jazz and electronic music production in high school to add to his diversified portfolio.
