[English]

Some days I'm at the bottom of the ocean

I'm getting too deep and I don't know if

It gets any better when I see the light, light

The only thing that I want is a distraction

I just can't explain the way that I'm actin'

I know it'll hit me when it all slows down, down

Scared to be all alone

Got no one else here

I gotta be lonely for the night

I'm stuck in my mind

But I want outside

Till I'ma get it right like

Ooh

All the things that money can do

I was sad 'til I bought something new

I don't even care if I'm wasting my time

I don't even care like, ooh-ooh-ooh

God, I don't take a break, I'm always crashing

I'm scared of the things that wouldn't happen

Like what if the sun came shooting out the sky, sky

Scared to be all alone

Got no one else here

I gotta be lonely for the night

I'm stuck in my mind

But I want outside

'Til I'ma get it right like

Ooh

All the things that money can do

I was sad 'til I bought something new

I don't even care if I'm wasting my time

I don't even care like, ooh-ooh-ooh

All the things that money can do

Why be sad? I can buy something new

I don't even care if I'm losing my mind

I don't even care

Scared to be all alone

Got no one else here

I gotta be lonely for the night

I'm stuck on my mind

But I want outside

'Til I'ma get it right like

Ooh

All the things that money can do

I was sad 'til I bought something new

I don't even care if I'm wasting my time

I don't even care like, ooh-ooh-ooh

All the things that money can do

Why be sad? I can buy something new

I don't even care if I'm losing my mind

I don't even care

No, I don't care
