Pools

Pools - NIKI

When I was young I used to check for you under my bed

But now I'm older and instead I let you sleep on it

You're smoking five days a week

Don't you say hun why you can't breathe

You've got nerves saying it ain't that deep

Friends don't wear skin to sleep

Why'd you let me sink in

Pools of wishful thinking

I don't wanna swim anymore

Look at all these blood stains

I've been calling warpaint

There ain't nothing here to fight for

King of my condo there's a second toothbrush by the sink

Then I ask where your kingdom lies

You hand me a blank map with X and ink

I'm every metaphor

You hold me like I'm your everything and more

But when the sunwaves greet the floor

You make it clear I'm everything but yours

Why'd you let me sink in

Pools of wishful thinking

I don't wanna swim anymore

Look at all these blood stains

I've been calling warpaint

There ain't nothing here to fight for

I'm giving up the fight

Don't wanna waste my time

You've gone for your life

Be my guest be my guest

Oh I'll be fine

Oh I'll be fine
