[Part I: Sidetracked]

[Verse 1]
I don't make the rules
I'm just here facin' my all fuckin' fears in the name of you
Engineered to sit back and watch you steer for a game or two

[Pre-Chorus]
Do my best to let you know where it's all at
Act like I don't know you're lyin' 'cause you like that
Make a scene and fuckin' leave just to come right back

[Chorus]
How you do it? How you do it? Keep me sidetracked
How you do it? How you do it? Keep me sidetracked
How you do it? How you do it? (Do it)

[Verse 2]
It's time to face it
You love the way you do me
It's intoxicating
How your toxic traits consume me
You love the chase
You love the way I lose me
When I'm all wrapped up in you
When there's nothing I can do
When there's nothing I can do
[Part II: Perfect Lover]

[Chorus]
My perfect lover
I love you, but you love her
Dispersed and smothered
Will I recover?

[Verse]
It's just shades of blue
As I try to get away from you
As I try to strip away the truth
Will I recover?

[Pre-Chorus]
I wish that I could tug on your heart and make you miss me bad
But it's much too late
She's taken up the space in your mind over what we had
See it on your face
This is what you get when you miss and ignore the flags
A heart that breaks
But if there was a way in the world I could get you back
I would get you back

[Chorus]
My perfect lover
I love you, but you love her
Dispersed and smothered
Will I recover?
[Outro]
My perfect lover
My perfect lover
