Her love is in your head

You lost your earrings in her bed

You couldn't tell her that you lost 'em

'Cause you're scared and you're not talking

So you think of what to say

Then save it for another day

'Cause you just never had the heart

Now they just drift further apart

From you, oh

From you, oh

From you, oh

From you, oh

From you, oh

Her love is in your head

You lost your earrings in her bed

You couldn't tell her that you lost 'em

'Cause you're scared and you're not talking

So you think of what to say

Then save it for another day

'Cause you just never had the heart

Now they just drift further apart

From you

Extra, extra, read all about it

Mac is in his feelings and he can't get out of it

Extra, extra, read all about it

Mac is in his feelings and he can't get out of it

Extra, extra, read all about it

Mac is in his feelings and he can't get out of it

Extra, extra, read all about it

Mac is in his feelings and he can't get out of it

From you, oh

From you, oh

From you, oh

From you, oh

Extra, extra, read all about it

Mac is in his feelings and he can't get out of it

Extra, extra, read all about it

Mac is in his feelings and he can't get out of it

Can't get out of it

Can't get out of it

(Okay, well, I hope you like my mixtape)
