(verse1) wild and reckless feeling like a god again both too selfish writing rules to break and bend (prechorus) now you can say that you don't feel the pain run away like hands do in the dark i can say that we were just a game when you left i threw away my heart (chorus) now I’m young and numb falling hard never got me nowhere wish i never fell in love wish i taught myself not to care all these highs and lows only get your heart broke now im young and numb watch me let you go im savage, fuck feelings i know love’s fleeting (verse2) me and my friends we don't wanna go outside losing feeling but we’d rather lose our minds (prechorus) started with you laying on your back what a perfect waste of all my days but we love like an anxiety attack stop me when you start to shake (chorus) now I’m young and numb falling hard never got me nowhere wish i never fell in love wish i taught myself not to care all these highs and lows start to weigh on my soul now im young and numb watch me let you go (bridge) im savage, fuck feelings i know that love is fleeting eyes stuck on your ceiling but we’ll play love for the weekend im savage, fuck feelings i know that love is fleeting eyes stuck on your ceiling but we’ll play love (chorus)

Money 03:14
(verse) 
what do you think about when you think about me, hey 
if money is love, I just wanna get paid 
pull me in now you want to take me away 
 look good in the lights but its all fake I bought a dream, you looked good in my head 
 and your boys said you’re a real best friend 
 I was convinced how good we could be 
but all of your shine is a fantasy (prechorus) if you turn my love into currency i gotta spend it on me (Chorus) imma spend that money on myself 
imma spend that money on myself
 and i got that gold in my sight
 when i make it imma take it in my stride imma spend that money on myself
 imma spend that money on myself
 and i don't need you like you think i do (verse 2) 
used to pull me in thought that it felt right 
used to walk around, lost, caught in the hype 
 wanted you to spend up, spend time
 all you want to do is spend the night when you come over, kissing me slower 
 trying to win me, pulling me closer
 baby i know
that you’re still broke i gotta get what i’m owed (Chorus) imma spend that money on myself 
imma spend that money on myself
 and i got that gold in my sight
 when i make it imma take it in my stride imma spend that money on myself
 imma spend that money on myself
 and i don't need you like you think i do (Bridge) gucci, fake dior
 all these girls that you want more 
 you’re just plated gold
 wear you once and you fall apart 
x2 (Chorus, Bridge repeat)
