I'd love to be in love with you enough to write a love song I need to feel needed and I need it more than I let on I'll be home, just thinking about it Maybe call like I used to But I'll just stay alone, because alone is safer than with you I like you inconveniently You're squeezing out my dopamine Yeah, you like me in spite of me I feel these feelings quietly You're cool but inconvenient Now, my energy's depleted Take a seat, babe, if you need it Like I do, 'cause I'm defeated Now, I'm cancelled, I'm whatever I'm the best thing that you'll never have Now I'm lonely, yeah, if only I could text you but I'm holding out I'd love to be in love with you enough to write a love song I need to feel needed and I need it more than I let on I'll be home, just thinking about it Maybe call like I used to But I'll just stay alone, because alone is safer than with you I know I'm not around enough to make me worth the wait It's like, who wants to be close with someone who always goes away? And even when they're here, it's like "Where's your fucking head at?" "Why's it take so long to text back?" "You're so bad at loving people back" So here's a plaque for your wall For the Hall of Fame of fucking off When things get weird Because I can't handle that again It's like that, yeah, it's like that I'd love to be in love with you enough to write a love song I need to feel needed and I need it more than I let on I'll be home, just thinking about it Maybe call like I used to But I'll just stay alone, because alone is safer than with you

Now ladies and gentlemen, I'm here to tell you Me and Teddy know what it's like to Well, to pick and plant cotton, chop cotton And pick cotton, we're cotton-pickers Along with pick-up drivers We drive pick-up trucks I mean, people drive a pick-up truck We didn't know the times were lean Round our house the grass was green It didn't seem like things were all that bad I bet we walked a thousand miles Choppin' cotton and pushing plows And learnin' how to give it all we had As life went on and years went by I saw the light in daddy's eye And felt the love in mamma's hands They kept us warm and kept us fed Taught us how to look ahead Now lookin' back I understand We were walkin' in high cotton Old times there are not forgotten Those fertile fields are never far away We were walkin' in high cotton Old times there are not forgotten Leavin' home was the hardest thing we ever faced When Sunday mornings rolled around We dressed up in hand-me-downs Just in time to gather with the church Sometimes I think how long it's been And how it impressed me then It was the only day my daddy wouldn't work We were walkin' in high cotton Old times there are not forgotten Those fertile fields are never far away We were walkin' in high cotton Old time there are not forgotten Leavin' home was the hardest thing we ever faced Everybody! Yeah, we were walkin' in high cotton Old times there are not forgotten Those fertile fields are never far away We were walkin' in high cotton Old times there are not forgotten Leavin' home was the hardest thing we ever faced Everybody sing it We were walkin' in high cotton Old times there are not forgotten Those fertile fields are never far away Yeah, we were walkin' in high cotton Old times there are not forgotten Leavin' home was the hardest thing we ever faced Walkin' in high cotton Thank you very much!

فوسط زحمة وناس كتير وطريق أنا ماشي فيه عكس السير وسط الطموح والأمل والتمني فاضلي خطوة توصلني فوسط حاجات ومكيفات بحاول أنسى كل اللي فات في وسط صدري ضلعي مكسور ومن خلاله قلبي شايف نور أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع فوسط الليل وأنا بعيد عن البشر شفت نور يشبه نور القمر بس القمر مسيره يفارق ويسيبني تاني مع الوحدة أحارب فوسط قصة حب يعني وهمية كان لازم أصدق اصل الوحدة قوية مش كل المشاعر حقيقية أنا شفت نور معرفتش اغمض عنيا أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع
