Pools
NIKI Song Lyrics

When I was young I used to check for you under my bed (under my bed)

But now I'm older and instead I let you sleep on it (sleep on it)

You're smoking five days a week

Don't you say I'm why you can't breathe

You got nerve sayin' it ain't that deep

Friends don't wear skin to sleep.

Why'd you let me sink in pools of wishful thinking?

I don't want to swim anymore

Look at all these bloodstains I've been calling warpaint

There ain't nothing here to fight for.

King of my condo, there's a second toothbrush by the sink (by the sink)

Then I ask where your kingdom lies, you hand me a blank map with x in ink (x in ink)

I'm every metaphor

You hold me like I'm your everything and more

But when the sun rays greet the floor you make it clear I'm everything but yours.

Why'd you let me sink in pools of wishful thinking?

I don't want to swim anymore

Look at all these bloodstains I've been calling warpaint

There ain't nothing left to fight for.

I'm givin' up the fight

Ain't gonna waste my time

You go run for your life

Be my guest, be my guest

Oh, I'll be fine

Oh, I'll be fine.
