Let me start with I've let you go

But you don't get it, though

Politely I've asked you to leave,

But still you follow

It's hard when you're full of heart

When the house you built just falls apart

Well keep the paint fresh, keep the outside clean

Make sure the neighbors see you wear that ring

Don't tell them a thing, they don't know you like me

You're the girl that cries, "water in the basement"

Everybody stop, wait, look, see

You're the girl that could lie to my face

And fabricate a flood to get through to me

I went away and you found a replacement

So call him, don't call me

To the girl that cries, "water in the basement"

You drama everything

I heard a good friend once say

"You got one life, live it, 'cause they'll take it away"

From both of us, one day, you know they will

So colour it up, colour it up

Say your last goodbye, I don't give a fuck

Bottoms up, just watch me walk away

I'm here to say that -

I don't need your sorry dreaming

What makes you think you can -

Tell me how I to feel or how hard I should fall

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, now you listen

Oh my, you're not anything I need in my life

No, you're not anything I even want

'cause they don't know you like me

You're the girl that cries, "water in the basement"

Everybody stop, wait, look, see

You're the girl that could lie to my face

And fabricate a flood to get through to me

I went away and you found a replacement

So call him, don't call me

To the girl that cries, "water in the basement"

You drama everything

Here's what you gotta do

Hold you head high

Shoot first, man, don't ask why

Yeah, you won't feel the pain at all

Well I guess I, grew this mind

I think for myself and I'm fine

No, I don't need anything from you at all

They don't know you like me

You're the girl that cries, "water in the basement"

Everybody stop, wait, look, see

You're the girl that could lie to my face

And fabricate a flood to get through to me

I went away and you found a replacement

So call him, don't call me

To the girl that cries, "water in the basement"

You drama everything

(Fabricate a flood to get through to me)

(So call him, don't call me)

You drama everything

Drama

So much drama
