Devonte Hynes - 1 2 3 4 lyrics

Threatened by the law I crawled in a comfortable lap Crucified by love, ooh I fell in a predictable trap All at what cost? All I could think about was that And all that was lost That I've seen in dreams [Chorus] Simple as 1 2 3 4 Methodical persuasion I know you've done this before You've mastered the equation But you'll only hurt yourself, not me And anyone you've done it to before You'll also bear the weight of I don't need to settle the score You are the perpetrator You'll judge yourself, you'll never be free [Verse 2] The cheater never wins Even if he ends the game with the highest score And the liar never knows love You can't earn that through force I know the illusion of power Just leaves you needing more In your loneliest hour You'll be haunted by me [Chorus] Simple as 1 2 3 4 Methodical persuasion I know you've done this before You've mastered the equation But you'll only hurt yourself, not me And anyone you've done it to before You'll also bear the weight of I don't need to settle the score You are the perpetrator You'll judge yourself, you'll never be free
