Stop it, get off of me
My taste has changed
Exhausted, irony
Somehow, I’m unfair
Beautiful green eyes

The gaze that pierced my soul
has wiped away the red stain,
I break it
without hesitation, make a way
I’mma set me free, let’s see how far you’re gonna go
Cause I decide (you know I decide)
How I live my life (how I live my life)
The night I kll you (the night I kll you)
