[Chorus]
I don't know why I do this to myself
Do this to myself
When I know better
I don't know why I do this to myself
Do this to myself
When I know better
[VERSE 1]
I still laid down in your bed expecting something different
I let you strip off my clothes in the name of experience
I just went with the flow in hopes of commitment
Not in the form of gold but in companionship
Thought the music would unite us but it blurred my vision
We faked love to the black messiah
[Chorus]
I don't know why I do this to myself
Do this to myself
When I know better
I don't know why I do this to myself
Do this to myself
When I know better
[VERSE 2]
In the name of honesty you say I'm not something you require
But your face said something different as you were breathing deeper
I just went with the flow in hopes of commitment
Not in the form of gold but in companionship
Thought the music would unite us but it blurred my vision
I should've known but god damn you lured me
[Chorus]
I don't know why I do this to myself
Do this to myself
When I know better
I don't know why I do this to myself
Do this to myself
When I know better
[Bridge]
There is this darkness inside of me
Oh I just want it to leave
There is this darkness inside of me
Let me be, let me be
There is this darkness inside of me
Oh I just want it to leave
There is this darkness inside of me
Let me be, let me be
[Chorus]
I don't know why I do this to myself
Do this to myself
When I know better
I don't know why I do this to myself
Do this to myself
When I know better
