xochi. Lyrics

I don't want your metaphors

I wanted to be all yours

I don't want your metaphors

Don't want your meta-meta

I don't want your metaphors

I wanted to be all yours

I don't want your metaphors

Don't want your me- me- me- me

I'd hate to see you in somebody else's arms

It'd make me never wanna try again

Bird cage

Stuck with all these burdens that I'm lyin' in

At a new age, I just wanna hide again

It's a new day, I don't wanna find a friend

I'm lonely, but I'm lonely with you

I'm hoping that you're telling the truth

Hard to know when you're falling to pieces

If you've been shattered since two-o-one-two

Mmm

I may have sickle cell too

Way I'm missing a peace in me

Way you're missing a piece of you

And that's real shit

Airport, in your city acting like I ain't feel shit

Failed wars I was in the trenches tryna heal a bit

I know you better

I know your skin, oh

And all the times you lied

And all the times I tried

I was countin' 'em

I sick of sounding numb

I'm sick of sounding desperate

If I call 'em f*

Then I hope that I'm not outing 'em

I can't even act like it's some newfound love

You've been around

This my old shit

My nine eleven 2001

The giving tree put a splinter up in my sore thumb

And honestly I always had your love at the forefront

I guarantee if I gave you up, I'd be so done

I'd be so done

I don't want your metaphors

I wanted to be all yours (I don't want your metaphors)

I don't want your metaphors

Don't want your metaph- metaph-(I don't want your metaphors)

I don't want your metaphors

I wanted to be all yours (I don't want 'em)

I don't want your metaphors

Don't want your me- me- me- me-
