NIKI – Pools lyrics
[Verse 1]
When I was young I used to check for you under my bed (under my bed)
But now I'm older and instead I let you sleep on it (sleep on it)
You're smoking five days a week
Don't you say I'm why you can't breathe
You got nerve sayin' it ain't that deep
Friends don't wear skin to sleep
[Hook]
Why’d you let me sink in pools of wishful thinking?
I don’t want to swim anymore
Look at all these bloodstains I’ve been calling warpaint
There ain’t nothing here to fight for
[Verse 2]
King of my condo, there's a second toothbrush by the sink (by the sink)
Then I ask where your kingdom lies, you hand me a blank map with X in ink (X in ink)
I’m every metaphor
You hold me like I’m your everything and more
But when the sun rays greet the floor you make it clear I’m everything but yours
[Hook]
Why’d you let me sink in pools of wishful thinking?
I don’t want to swim anymore
Look at all these bloodstains I’ve been calling warpaint
There ain’t nothing left to fight for
[Outro]
I’m givin' up the fight
Ain’t gonna waste my time
You go run for your life
Be my guest, be my guest
Oh, I'll be fine
Oh, I’ll be fine
When I was young I used to check for you under my bed (under my bed)
But now I'm older and instead I let you sleep on it (sleep on it)
You're smoking five days a week
Don't you say I'm why you can't breathe
You got nerve sayin' it ain't that deep
Friends don't wear skin to sleep
[Hook]
Why’d you let me sink in pools of wishful thinking?
I don’t want to swim anymore
Look at all these bloodstains I’ve been calling warpaint
There ain’t nothing here to fight for
[Verse 2]
King of my condo, there's a second toothbrush by the sink (by the sink)
Then I ask where your kingdom lies, you hand me a blank map with X in ink (X in ink)
I’m every metaphor
You hold me like I’m your everything and more
But when the sun rays greet the floor you make it clear I’m everything but yours
[Hook]
Why’d you let me sink in pools of wishful thinking?
I don’t want to swim anymore
Look at all these bloodstains I’ve been calling warpaint
There ain’t nothing left to fight for
[Outro]
I’m givin' up the fight
Ain’t gonna waste my time
You go run for your life
Be my guest, be my guest
Oh, I'll be fine
Oh, I’ll be fine
