Lost Stars - Adam Levine

Heard you put me on your blacklist Bet you thought I had a crisis But you and I were just a bad trip Go and spread your gossip They already know Yeah, what we had was something tragic And I'm so glad I broke the habit You tried to play me like I'm Tetris Got some kind of fetish For having control I knew it all along But I kept making excuses You build me up to cut me down Oh, why do you do this? You tell me that I need you Do you think that I'm stupid? Do you think that I'm stupid? I don't hate to say it I'm glad we didn't make it I've been on a hot streak Since you've been gone So grab your shit and take it I don't have the space and I ain't sentimental I'm moving along Got me like Oh I don't hate to say it I'm glad that you're gone Oh I don't hate to say It's better than I could imagine Guess you were nothing more than baggage Yeah, I cut through all your static I'm seeing panoramic You don't even know I knew it all along But I kept making excuses You build me up to cut me down Oh, why do you do this? You tell me that I need you Do you think that I'm stupid? Do you think that I'm stupid? I don't hate to say it I'm glad we didn't make it I've been on a hot streak Since you've been gone So grab your shit and take it I don't have the space and I ain't sentimental I'm moving along Got me like Oh I don't hate to say it I'm glad that you're gone Oh I don't hate to say it I'm glad that you're gone Manic, graphic, sociopathic Plastic, acting so problematic Classic you, tryna get a reaction But nobody's laughing I don't hate to say it I'm glad we didn't make it I've been on a hot streak Since you've been gone So grab your shit and take it I don't have the space and I ain't sentimental I'm moving along Got me like Oh I don't hate to say it I'm glad that you're gone Oh I don't hate to say it I'm glad that you're gone
