Poems of Sorts - Trouble in Paradise

Text you when I'm drunk and I can't hold my tongue
(I can't hold my tongue)
How come I haven't seen you it's been far too long
(How you been?)
Heard you're havin' trouble there in paradise
(Me?)
I'm just tryna survive
But I swear that I could help you
Yeah I swear that I could help you
If you let me

Come close but not too close
I don't wanna feel what you feel for me
It's a no
And have a nice day
I hope you don't waste away
But if you did I wouldn't be surprised
Wish that I could say I had a good time
But there was nothin' there for me
Except some cheap food and some white wine

So tell me why I still care
About you and the ring you wear
Do you really really think that's fair
Yeah it's not your fault I'm aware
Do you really really think that's fair
Yeah it's not your fault I'm aware

Text you when I'm drunk and I can't hold my tongue
(I can't hold my tongue)
How come I haven't seen you it's been far too long
(How you been?)
Heard you're havin' trouble there in paradise
(Me?)
I'm just tryna survive
But I swear that I could help you
Yeah I swear that I could help you
If you let me

Turns out
You can't blame it all on anxiety and depression
(Honestly I just can't do this today)
I won't
Stand by and listen to you and your sly mentions
(Uhhhh, shut the fuck up)
West coast days go by oh so slow
(So slow)
Not that you'd know he's got you home
(You home)

So tell me why I still care
About you and the ring you wear
Do you really really think that's fair
(That's not fair)
Yeah it's not your fault I'm aware
Do you really really think that's fair
Yeah it's not your fault I'm aware

Text you when I'm drunk and I can't hold my tongue
(I can't hold my tongue)
How come I haven't seen you it's been far too long
(How you been?)
Heard you're havin' trouble there in paradise
(Me?)
I'm just tryna survive
But I swear that I could help you
Yeah I swear that I could help you
If you let me

Call you when I'm drunk and I can't hold my tongue
How come I haven't seen you it's been far too long
Heard you're havin' trouble there in paradise
I'm just tryna survive
But I swear that I could help you
Yeah I swear that I could help you
If you let me

Call you when I'm drunk and I can't hold my tongue
(I can't hold my tongue)
How come I haven't seen you it's been far too long
(Far too long)
Heard you're havin' trouble there in paradise
(Paradise)
I'm just tryna survive
But I swear that I could help you
(I know I could help you I know)
Yeah I swear that I could help you
If you let me
