[Intro]
(Mm, mm, mmmm)

[Verse 1]
Oh, I thought
That it was the last time
That I'd fallen for someone like you
Who don't care about all the things that I could do for you
And I know
That it's not the first time
That I've given so much away
To be left with someone who just won't stay

[Chorus]
And I, I'm feeling so worn
Waiting to find someone who can make me feel warm
And you, I think you knew
I put my heart into us and you cracked it in two

[Verse 2]
And I saw
You losing interest
I couldn't bear to think of the thought
That you'd up and leave me to be so distraught
And I heard
You say your goodbye
But denial is my greatest skill
Bending the truth to fit wishes of will

[Chorus]
And I, I'm feeling so worn
Waiting to find someone who can make me feel warm
And you, I think you knew
I put my heart into us and you cracked it in two

[Verse 3]
I'm sorry
To play games of blame
It can be easier to say it's your fault
Than facing our lack of gestalt
And I'm aware
That it's my own baggage
But please let me plead, I'll shut up but I just
Need you to let me have this

[Chorus]
And I, I'm feeling so worn
Waiting to find someone who can make me feel warm
And you, I think you knew
I put my heart into us and I was the one to crack it in two

​mxmtoon

mxmtoon (pronounced em-ex-em-toon) is the moniker of Maia (born July 9, 2000), an Oakland-based singer, songwriter, and ukulele player. mxmtoon has a considerable online following, amounting to the hundreds of thousands, and successfully links conceptually relatable songs with goofy, self-deprecating music videos, of which evoke emotions across the gamut—everything from belly-laughing to weeping. She carries a persona that can be described as passionate, genuine, and warm; a friend who can be relied on through even the most emotionally challenging of times.

mxmtoon covers a wide range of conceptual themes in her music; such themes include matters regarding friendship, romance, body confidence, identity and teenage insecurities. She often uses a ukulele for accompaniment and has a distinctly unique musical sound characterized by elements of indie and bedroom pop, as well as slightly laconic lyrical delivery and sometimes unconventional melodic constructs. This style shined all throughout her debut EP plum blossom, which was recorded from the confines of her parents' guest room, and was released on December 7, 2018.

Nine months later, the Cavetown produced effort that was her debut full-length album the masquerade was released in September 17, 2019, followed by dawn and dusk in April 22, 2020 and October 1, 2020 respectively, with the latter two later being integrated into dawn & dusk, which was released on November 5, 2020.
