Текст песни Nickel & Diamond - GEAR

She spent her time thinking I'm nickel and diming
In the back of my mind, I think it's better she thinks that
Cause I was in purgatory, the middle of heaven and hell
Passing on the right one at the time. Clear that I blew that

I see and accrue stacks, telling em that
Knowing that it's really loose facts -- it sounds off
My damage ain't been healed, no taking this cast off
But tell em the mask off

Mask off for the times you wanted me there for your every move
Then I hit your phone and you not around
Or when you told me stories bout how you fell out of love
Cause they loved you more

It's a travesty how I'm speaking ill of you
I don't know your shoe size, I'm just being
Spiteful and hoping you feel
Vilified 'cause I know

Lately I been feeling kinda dead inside
But it's harder seeing you when you don't look alive

I know I can't reach you from afar, I'll stay ghost
Can't cry over losing, that's just how the game goes

I been drifting out of my lane
Tryna see you coming my way
Now I'm at the crib with the speakers on

Hard to decide between a nickel and diamond
She was shrunken down in size, acting 5 cents more
You know I'm bout the money, get the change and pass go
Really I was under pressure from myself to move forward

You show me all the interest but then you run me off
Just tell me every truth, I'll get you Henny for your thoughts
A drunk mind speak a sober soul
I wouldn't find out til I heard your voicemail tone

Remember telling it to Lindsey when I went and rang her
She said "if you asking, you know, so tell me why you playing?"
I know she right, we'll never know. So the story goes
Two open books too afraid to turn each other's pages

But it's a shame though. Remember
Old talks with my dad in his leather Kangol
He told me "keep the ones close that you love most
Beyond that, getting money is the main goal."

I know I can't reach you from afar, I'll stay ghost
Can't cry over losing, that's just how the game goes

I been drifting out of my lane
Tryna see you coming my way
Now I'm at the crib with the speakers on
