Lyrics

Gotta Stop

[Verse 1]

I'm sittin' up in my room, thinkin' about you

Guess I'm just a wasted boy, nothing better to do

Try not to pick up the phone eleven times a day

When I do, I hope you're not home, I got nothing to stay

[Chorus]

I gotta stop

It really hurts

I gotta stop

[Verse 2]

Eight ways to say you're sorry, twenty ways to lie

Eight ways to say tomorrow something better change

Eight ways to say you're sorry, twenty ways to lie

Eight ways to say tomorrow something better change, man

[Chorus]

I gotta stop

It really hurts

I gotta stop

[Outro]

Go!

Stop
