[Intro]
You was just a baby girl looking for a new job
I was a typhoon, a cartoon for you to watch
Took you by the belt loop, said "How can I help you?"
How can I assume you would tie me in two knots?
How can I assume you would tie me in two knots?
How can I assume you would tie me in two knots?

[Chorus]
All the shit that we went through
Wasn't worth holding on
And you said "So long"
And I said "So long"
All the shit that we went through
Wasn't worth holding on
And you said "So long"
And I said "So⁠—"

[Verse 1]
You must've been sick of my shit and I never seen it
You must've saw the demon that slipped and then got between us
I thought I was invincible to you inside my zenith
I told you to leave but you know I never really mean it (Mean it)
Yeah, good idea, real fuckin' genius
Leave the one person behind whose love for you is the cleanest (Cleanest)
Or to see whose trash is clingin' to my bullshit
When in fact my grass was the greenest
But me and that bottle was a repeat song
I drug you down that road and the road was long
But I'm about as wrong as one man can be wrong
And all I wanna do now is come back home
'Cause I love you

[Chorus]
All the shit that we went through
Wasn't worth holding on
And you said "So long"
And I said "So long"
All the shit that we went through
Wasn't worth holding on
And you said "So long"
And I said "So⁠—"

[Verse 2]
99 bottles of pain killers all gone
99 reasons I gave you to leave me alone
99 days in a slump, three months and no call
I got 99 problems and I'm the reason for them all
Still the son of a bitch you met, still drinking myself to death
Still stuck tryna find my father, the search isn't helping yet
I sent you a seldom text at night when I seldom rest
But you closed the curtain on me, now I'm just a silhouette
I felt like an animal, but an animal's not a pet
Yeah, it's all fun and games until water's running red
I don't know why I had to hurt myself just to feel regret
But I need you, just tell me that your love isn't finished yet, damn

[Chorus]
All the shit that we went through
Wasn't worth holding on
And you said "So long"
And I said "So long"
All the shit that we went through
Wasn't worth holding on
And you said "So long"
And I said "So⁠—"

[Outro]
You was just a baby girl looking for a new job
I was a typhoon, a cartoon for you to watch
Took you by the belt loop, said "How can I help you?"
How can I assume you would tie me in two knots?
How can I assume you would tie me in two knots?
How can I assume you would tie me in two knots?
