(LYRICS)
[Intro: RAYE]
Sleazin' and teasin', I'm sittin' on him
All of my diamonds are drippin' on him
I met him at the bar, it was twelve or something
I ordered two more wines 'cause tonight, I want him
[Verse 1: RAYE]
A little context if you care to listen
I find myself in a shit position
The man that I love sat me down last night
And he told me that it's over, dumb decision
And I don't wanna feel how my heart is rippin'
Fact, I don't wanna feel, so I stick to sippin'
Then I'm out on the town with a simple mission
In my little black dress and this shit is sittin'
[Refrain: RAYE]
Just a heart broke bitch
High heels six inch
In the back of the nightclub, sippin' champagne
I don't trust any of these bitches I'm with
In the back of the taxi sniffin' cocaine
Drunk calls, drunk texts, drunk tears, drunk sex
I was lookin' for a man who's on the same page
Now it's back to the intro, back to the bar
To the Bentley, to the hotel, to my old ways
[Chorus: RAYE]
'Cause I don't wanna feel how I did last night
I don't wanna feel how I did last night
Doctor, doctor, anything, please
Doctor, doctor, have mercy on me
Take this pain away
You're askin' me my symptoms, doctor
I don't wanna feel
[Verse 2: RAYE]
Toke this joint how I'm blowin' this steam
Back to my ways like 2019
Not twenty-four hours since my ex did dead it
I got a new man on me, it's about to get sweaty
Last night really was the cherry on the cake
Been some dark days lately and I'm findin' it cripplin'
Excuse my state, I'm as high as your hopes
That you'll make it to my bed, get me hot and sizzlin'
If I take a step back to see the glass half-full
At least it's the Prada two-piece that I'm trippin' in
And I'm already actin' like a dick, know what I mean?
So you might as well stick it in
[Refrain: RAYE]
Just a heart broke bitch
High heels six inch
In the back of the nightclub, sippin' champagne
I don't trust any of these bitches I'm with
In the back of the taxi sniffin' cocaine
Drunk calls, drunk texts, drunk tears, drunk sex
I was lookin' for a man who's on the same page
Now it's back to the intro, back to the bar
To the Bentley, to the hotel, to my old ways
[Chorus: RAYE & 070 Shake]
'Cause I don't wanna feel how I did last night
I don't wanna feel how I did last night
Doctor, doctor, anything, please
Doctor, doctor, have mercy on me
Take this pain away
You're askin' me my symptoms, doctor
I don't wanna feel (What?)
[Verse 3: 070 Shake & RAYE]
'Cause I don't wanna feel like I felt last night
I don't wanna feel like I felt last night
Be at peace with the things you can't change (Last night)
I'll be naked when I leave and I was naked when I came, yeah
Out of reach, out of touch
Too numb, I don't feel no way
Toast up, so what?
Street small, but it go both ways
So, you'll run, yeah
But you'll never escape
Sunset in the maze
(You're askin' me my symptoms, doctor, I don't wanna feel)
[Refrain: RAYE]
I don't wanna feel how I did last night
I don't wanna feel how I did last night, oh
Doctor, doctor, anything, please
Doctor, doctor, have mercy on me
You're askin' me my symptoms, doctor
I don't wanna feel
[Bridge: RAYE]
I don't wanna feel how I did last night
I don't wanna feel how I did last night
Wanna feel, wanna feel how I did last night
[Outro: RAYE]
Lipstick smudged like modern art
I don't know where the fuck I am or who's drivin' the fucking car
Speeding down the highway sippin'
Mixing pills with the liquor 'cah fuck these feelings
I left everyone I love on read (Uh-huh)
Spilling secrets to the stranger in my bed (Uh-huh)
I remember nothing so there's nothing to regret (Uh-uh)
Other than this 4/4 kick drum poundin' in my head

Coming from a 28 year old woman to another woman. Please. Do. Not. Think. Sex. Is. The. Answer. It isn’t. A new man isn’t the answer. Please refrain from going to clubs and drinking.

[@Snlw28]

I was with him for 4 years. 4 years, man. He really, really made me believe that my future lies with him. Then last February, 10 days before Valentine, he wanted to "take a break". 4 months later in June, while he still made the "effort" to stay in touch with me, he then updated his relationship status with someone else.
And then 2 weeks ago, I heard from a friend that he got engaged. Huh.

Great song, but the lyrics make me deeply worried somehow. To anyone who finds themselves in a situation like that: there are actual doctors who treat issues like this one. If the emotional pain is unbearable, you can absolutely go to the ER.

Go to the ER and wait hours possibly, Yes if you're suicidal but they won't give you meds, but check into the psych. hospital if you qualify. If you're stoned, drunk, or high, you'll have to wait until you're sober then be evaluated.

[@BG-nm5xt]

Don't go to the ER if you're seeking pain drugs or benzos.

in my early 20s, wondering where i went wrong in life because it feels like everything was wasted on me. quit my job, wanting a divorce and helping my aunt fight cancer while wondering where i will go from this point on. dyed my hair 3 times just this year and its ending. escapism at its finest

[@ekaterinaalekseeva41]

@@shaaahm2211 sis that feeling of wasting the time doesn't go away, unless you do something with the way you think and percept things. I tried but couldn't change a thing for over a decade. Have changed everything: hair styles, husbands, jobs, cities, countries. Nothing helped.
