[Verse 1]
GIt started with my head caught Din between
AmIt didn’t even mean that Cmuch to me
Then Gevery single night since the Dvery last time
I Amsaw you I don’t even know what’s Cwrong with me
Im Gfighting with the truth I Ddon’t believe
When AmI don’t even know you Cpersonally
And Gnow I think I might be Dlosing it completely
AmHoping that you’ll call me acciCdentally
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh Amno, you’re messing with my Chead
Oh Amno, don’t believe it when you Csaid
It was only a kGiss
[Chorus]
Oh! You Dhit me with the lights outAm  
NoCw I’ve gotta shoot you Gdown
