I can't stop thinking
Thinking about sinking
Sinking down into my bed
I call my mother
She's just a cunt now
She said I'm sick in the head
She said, "You ain't special
So who you fooling?
Don't try to give me a line"

       G#
But I can't stop thinking about
 E         B         F#
seeing you one more time
Oh, no
      G#
But I already left you and you're
 E          B     F#
better off left behind

Chorus:
       B
It's a bad obsession
It's always messing
                    F#
It's always messing my mind
       B
It's a bad obsession
It's always messing
                    F#
It's always messing my mind

B
Too bad
                F# B C#m
You're fucked up

I used to be wasted,
Always tried to take it
Take it down into my vein
I call the doctor, he's just another
He said I'm sick in the brain
He said, "You ain't special,
So who you foolin'?
Don't try to give me a line"

But I can't stop thinking 'bout
doin' it one more time, oh no
But I already left you and you're
better off left behind, oh yeah

Chorus

So bad, boy

It's a
It's a
Heads up

Chorus

But I can't stop thinking about
seeing you one more time
Oh, no
But I already left you and you're
better off left behind

It's a bad obsession and it's
always messing my mind
But I already left you and you're
better off left behind
Maybe you'll do better next time, punk
