Lyrics

half dead

[Intro: Trippie Redd]

Baby, fire in hell in my head

Fire in hell in my bed

I'm feelin' blown and half dead, oh

[Pre-Chorus: Trippie Redd]

Woke up sad, woke up sad than a fuck (Fuck)

Woke up sad, guess I'm happy when I'm sad as a fuck

[Chorus: Trippie Redd]

Probably 'cause I'm all alone

Don't even call me, leave a message at the tone

Your petty ass done hurt me to the bone

All this hurt, don't wanna even sing no singy songs

[Post-Chorus: Trippie Redd & mgk]

But my mind sing 'em anyway

But my mind will be singin' them today

But my mind sing 'em anyway

But my mind wanna hear them play (Yeah, yeah)

[Verse: mgk]

Woke up sad (Oh-oh)

I just saw my girl switch up (What the fuck?)

Woke up sad (Oh-oh; yeah)

Lookin' through the glass, I can see it's no love

Like a guillotine (Yeah), all the lines got cut (Yeah)

And I can't sleep (No), but my eyes both shut (No)

Like, I thought I was with you, but we always break up

Like, I got enemies and we can't make up

[Bridge: Trippie Redd]

Woke up sad, woke up sad than a fuck (Fuck)

Woke up sad, guess I'm happy when I'm sad as a fuck (Fuck)

I'm gon' survive in this shit, and stay alive in this shit (Yeah)

And thrive in this shit, I will not die in this shit

In my head, in my head, in my head

I'm gon' survive in this shit, and stay alive in this shit (Yeah)

And thrive in this shit, I will not die in this shit

In my head, in my head, in my head

[Chorus: Trippie Redd]

Probably 'cause I'm all alone

Don't even call me, leave a message at the tone

Your petty ass done hurt me to the bone

All this hurt, don't wanna even sing no singy songs

[Outro: Trippie Redd]

But my mind sing 'em anyway

But my mind will be singin' them today

But my mind sing 'em anyway

But my mind wanna hear them play
