Lyrics

Illiterate

[Verse 1]

Thought it was a tragedy

Losing you, losing me

Think about you randomly

Picture you in the driver's seat

[Pre-Chorus]

I get high to forget about you touching me

Over time I'll run out of every memory

[Chorus]

I was a open book, you were illiterate

So it's not really worth it

You were never my person

What a coincidence, saw who you're sleeping with

Said, "She's so unattractive"

That I'm overreacting

I wasn't overreacting

[Verse 2]

Finally left you in the past

Now I'm feeling free, and I'm loving me

Must have got my senses back

'Cause it wasn't that good and you weren't that great

[Pre-Chorus]

I get high to forget about you touching me

Over time I'll run out of every memory

[Chorus]

I was a open book, you were illiterate

So it's not really worth it

You were never my person

What a coincidence, saw who you're sleeping with

Said, "She's so unattractive"

That I'm overreacting

I wasn't overreacting

[Bridge]

I spelled it out for you, I told you what I wanted

You still got it wrong (Ooh)

I know that you're a liar, but if you were honest

Tell me, what went wrong?

[Chorus]

I was a open book, you were illiterate

So it's not really worth it

You were never my person

What a coincidence, saw who you're sleeping with

Said, "She's so unattractive"

That I'm overreacting

I wasn't overreacting
