High Road
Letra:
[English]
Well, I can tell that you're mad
And I ain't half surprised about that
Since the day that we met
It's always who cuts first and never who bleeds last
Rumors always turn into yelling and fighting
And once it's in your mind, only one way you're driving
And I know, I know
I'ma take the high road, baby get stoned
Have a little too much of something terrible
I'ma let you cool down while I walk out
You ain't messing me up like the times before
I don't need a ticket to your shitshow
Knock yourself out and hit a new low
Well, I'ma take the high road, take the high road, take the high road
Call me a son of a bitch
For being honest, yeah, that's what I get
And fuck it, I quit
You keep on losing your head about some girl I ain't with
And rumors always turn into yelling and fighting
And what's this in your mind, only one way you're driving
I know, I know
I'ma take the high road, baby get stoned
Have a little too much of something terrible
I'ma let you cool down while I walk out
You ain't messing me up like the times before
I don't need a ticket to your shitshow
Knock yourself out and hit a new low
Well, I'ma take the high road, take the high road, take the high road
Whoa, whoa
I'ma take the high road, baby get stoned
Have a little too much of something terrible
I'ma let you cool down while I walk out
You ain't messing me up like the times before
And I don't need a ticket to your shitshow
Knock yourself out and hit a new low
Well, I'ma take the high road, take the high road, take the high road
I'ma take the high road, take the high road, take the high road
Oh, yeah, yeah, mm
