"Relationships" lyrics

"Relationships"

Wasting time, driving through the Eastside
Doing my thing 'cause I can't decide if we're through
Well, are we?
And if we are, what we gonna do?

Relationships, oh
What's all this talk about relationships?
It feels like everyone's caught up in it
Oh, just you wait, you must be new to this
(Goes like, goes like, goes like)

You got a look on your face
Like you're caught in a lie, lie, lie (Goes, goes like, goes like)
I got you all to myself
But I keep asking why, why why in this relationship

Baby, how can I explain
When an innocent mistake
Turns into seventeen days? Fuckin' relationships
Don't they end up all the same
When there's no one left to blame?
I think I'm in love, but I can't stand fuckin' relationships
(Goes, goes like, goes like)

Why do I have a guilty conscience?
I've always been averse to conflict
But you really fucked with my confidence
(Goes like, goes like, goes like)

You gotta tell me the truth
If you don't want to try-y-y (Goes, goes like, goes like)
I hear a voice in my head
And it keeps asking, "Why am I in this relationship?"

Baby, how can I explain
When an innocent mistake
Turns into seventeen days? Fuckin' relationships
Don't they end up all the same
When there's no one left to blame?
I think I'm in love, but I can't stand fuckin' relationships
(Goes, goes like, goes like)

Relationships
How did we get ourselves into this?
Relationships
Oh, this can't just be the way it is
Relationships
Or is it just the shit our parents did
And had to live with it
In their relationship?
Relationships ('Ships, 'ships, 'ships)
Relationships
Fuckin' relationships

Baby, how can I explain
When an innocent mistake
Turns into seventeen days? Fuckin' relationships
Don't they end up all the same
When there's no one left to blame?
I think I'm in love, but I can't stand communicating it
Let me tell you how it ends
When we can't even pretend
Feels like we're not even friends in this relationship
But I would do it all again
If you put down your defenses
I think I'm in love, so why am I trying to escape from it?
Maybe that's just how it goes
When you're not fully grown
But, baby, when you know, you know, fuckin' relationships
So don't let it bring you down
'Cause it all comes back around
I think I'm in love, but I can't stand fuckin' relationships
