[English]

(Do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do)

(Do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do)

Oh, not another take

Oh, it's like that, I'm your dream come true

When it's on a platter for you

Then you pull back, when I try to make plans

More than two hours in advance, hmm

I slam the door, I hit ignore

I'm saying, no, no, no, no more

I got you blocked

After this, an afterthought

I finally cut you off

I feel so much lighter like a feather with you off my mind, ahh

Floatin' through the memories like whatever

You're a waste of time. ahh

Your signals are mixed, you act like a bitch

You fit every stereotype, send a pic

I feel so much lighter like a feather with you out my life

With you out my life

(Do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do)

(Do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do)

Like a feather, like a feather, like a feather, yeah

It feels so good not carin' where you are tonight

And it feels so good not pretending to like the wine you like

I slam the door (slam the door), I hit ignore (hit ignore)

I'm saying, no, no, no, no more

I got you blocked, excited to never talk, I

I'm so sorry for your loss

I feel so much lighter like a feather with you off my mind, ahh

Floatin' through the memories like whatever

You're a waste of time, ahh

Your signals are mixed, you act like a bitch (a bitch)

You fit every stereotype, send a pic

I feel so much lighter like a feather with you out my life

With you out my life

(Do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do)

Ahh, mmh

(Do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do)

Like a feather, like a feather, like a feather

You want me? I'm done

You miss me? No, duh

Where I'm at, I'm up where I'm at

You want me? I'm done (I'm done)

You miss me? No, duh (no duh)

Where I'm at, I'm up (I'm up) where I'm at

You want me? I'm done

(I feel so much lighter like a feather with you off my mind)

You miss me? No, duh

Where I'm at, I'm up where I'm at

You want me? I'm done

You miss me? No, duh

Where I'm at, I'm up where I'm at
