[Verse 1]
Soften my skin, you know how to get in
You color my sleep, you're winning
Lightning pa** through me, I'm drinking
To suffocate these ills that I swallow and speak
[Chorus]
Cause you're the sweet, meaner side of me
That I can't claim, that I can't k**
Cause you're the sweet, meaner side of me
That I can't claim, that I can't k**
[Verse 2]
All of our questions and all of our games
They got me into thinking I'm not doing okay
If it takes me ten times, patience help me relate
To the way we react to my perfect mistakes
[Chorus]
Cause you're the sweet, meaner side of me
That I can't claim, that I can't k**
Cause you're the sweet, meaner side of me
That I can't claim, that I can't k**
[Verse 3]
And all of our questions and all of our games
They got me into thinking I'm not doing okay
You're having to try to help me, like I haven't understood
I'm trying hard to reach out here but I don't feel good
And all of our pleasures and all of our pains
They're adding up so quickly, help me carry the wait
You're having to try to help me like I haven't understood
It just feels like it isn't working
I don't even know how much I want to
But I'm hauling all that I, I'm hauling all that I
I'm hauling all that I, that I've got inside of me for this fight
[Chorus]
Cause you're the sweet, meaner side of me
That I can't claim, that I can't k**
Cause you're the sweet, meaner side of me
That I can't claim, that I can't k**
Cause you're the sweet, meaner side of me
That I can't claim, that I can't k**
Cause you're the sweet, meaner side of me
That I can't claim, that I can't k**
