[Spoken Intro]
Wasting time, driving through the Eastside
Doing my thing ’cause I can’t decide if we’re through
Well, are we?
And if we are, what we gonna do?

[Verse 1]
Relationships, oh, what’s all this talk about relationships?
It feels like everyone’s caught up in it
Oh, just you wait, you must be new to this
(Those lies, those lies)
[Pre-Chorus]
You got a look on your face
Like you‘re caught in a lie, lie, lie (Those lies, those lies)
I got you all to myself
But I keep asking why, why why in this relationship

[Chorus]
Baby, how can I explain when an innocent mistake
Turns into seventeen days? Fu*king relationships
Don’t they end up all the same when there’s no one left to blame?
I think I’m in love, but I can’t stand fu*king relationships
(Those lies, those lies)

[Verse 2]
Why do I have a guilty conscience?
I’ve always been averse to conflict
But you really fu*ked with my confidence
(Those lies, those lies, those lies)

[Pre-Chorus]
You gotta tell me the truth
If you don’t want to try-y-y (Those, those lies, those lies)
I hear a voice in my head
And it keeps asking, “Why am I in this relationship?”

[Chorus]
Baby, how can I explain when an innocent mistake
Turns into seventeen days? Fu*king relationships
Don’t they end up all the same when there’s no one left to blame?
I think I’m in love, but I can’t stand fu*king relationships
(Those, those lies, those lies)

[Bridge]
(Relationships) How did we get ourselves into this?
(Relationships) Oh, this can’t just be the way it is
(Relationships) Or is it just the s*it our parents did
And had to live with it in their relationship?
(Relationships-ships-ships)
(Relationships) Fu*king relationships

[Chorus]
Baby, how can I explain when an innocent mistake
Turns into seventeen days? Fu*king relationships
Don’t they end up all the same when there’s no one left to blame?
I think I’m in love, but I can’t stand communicating it, woah
Let me tell you how it ends when we can’t even pretend
Feels like we’re not even friends in this relationship
But I would do it all again if you put down your defenses
I think I’m in love, so why am I trying to escape from it?, woah
Maybe that’s just how it goes when you’re not fully grown, woah
But, baby, when you know, you know, fu*king relationships
So don’t let it bring you down ’cause it all comes back around
I think I’m in love, but I can’t stand fu*king relationships
