​the punishment
[Verse 1]
Meet you up, let you see who I am
Vibe with you, let you down for a night or two
Stay with you, let you leave without me
Be alone, all alone so I'm free, oh

[Pre-Chorus]
T-T-Time is a mess when you are a waste of time
Waste of my time, yeah
Stop it
T-T-Time is something you shouldn't play me with
Don't play me with, it

[Chorus]
You were the punishment, what did I do to deserve you?
Spit out a peppermint, how hot did it even feel t'you?
You were the punishment, didn't do anything wrong
But I still got you, still got you, yeah

[Post-Chorus]
P-p-punishment, p-p-punishment
But I still got you, still got you, yeah

[Verse 2]
Breakin' no rules, but you still came right in
Tryna stay, staying is no other option
Get away, staying is never a choice
'Cause I don't care, I don't care anymore

[Pre-Chorus]
T-T-Time is a mess when you are a waste of time
Waste of my time, yeah
Stop it
T-T-Time is something you shouldn't play me with
Don't play me with, it

[Chorus]
You were the punishment, what did I do to deserve you?
Spit out a peppermint, how hot did it even feel t'you?
You were the punishment, didn't do anything wrong
But I still got you, still got you, yeah

[Post-Chorus]
P-p-punishment, p-p-punishment
But I still got you, still got you, yeah

[Bridge]
I hope I have to deal with you one last time
After this, I should just ignore your ass
I should learn to do that, yeah

[Chorus]
You were the punishment, what did I do to deserve you?
Spit out a peppermint, how hot did it even feel t'you?
You were the punishment, didn't do anything wrong
But I still got you, still got you, yeah

[Post-Chorus]
P-p-punishment, p-p-punishment
But I still got you, still got you, yeah
P-p-punishment, p-p-punishment
But I still got you, still got you, yeah
