I swear there's something in the wind outside today
And it ain't cool
Got me thinking 'bout how things decay
And about you

But I'll be fine, I have to set delay
Before I try to fall in love, not pain
Yes, I'll be fine, I just can't rush
Not again, not again, no, not again

Fuck, why is falling in love so hard?
I think I'm just moving too quickly
Based on the patterns I've been studying on myself
Of the most scientific research and I think
That I should just take things a little slower
You know, I've learned a lot in experience
You know, I'm grateful to be in this place right now, ayy

I swear there's something 'bout a loss there is to gain
Perhaps a lesson
If you do it once, don't do it again
Unless it's destined, oh

But you'll be fine, you have to set delay
Before you try to fall in love, not pain
Yes, you'll be fine, you just can't rush
Not again, not again, no, not again
