Drifter by Respect Lyrics
Drifter
She be known
As a drifter
And
She hits up
On my phone
Everytime
That Shes alone
But i dont want you to know
What i go Through
When that phone moves
And i know you
Probably be thinking
That im still in love with her
But im not and i assure
I just dont wanna
See her get hurt
Or sleep out on the dirt
In the cold
Half burnt half stoned
With a Fifth of jack
That she kills up on her own
Ciggarrette holes
On her clothes
As she tries to dispose
Of her hopes
Sorrow in her tone
When she spoke
Saying sorry for the way things go
I still dont even know
If this is just a bad dream
How can i wake up
And make everything
Go back to the way
That it was
That night i stayed up
I couldn't go to sleep
I tucked her in to bed
And i walked out on the street
Just wanting to scream
But i maintained my composure
As the days got less colder
It started seeming
Like she might of got over
What was holding her back
So i told her
In fact
That im happy for her
But its time for her to leave
And As She looked at me in disbelief
She Went retrieved
All of her stuff
Wimpering as she slammed
The door
I watched her walk outside
Must have only been like 50 yards
Then she hitchhiked
With the first car
Middle fingers up from the
Passenger Door
As they drove by through the dirt
I started thinking about
If it was worth it
But fuck it
Lifes imperfect
And i tried my best
Even if im always nervous
And i feel it in my chest
Doesnt mean i got no purpose
It just means
I get no rest
From my mind
No clarity in time
If Its all progress
She be known
As a drifter
And
She hits up
On my phone
Everytime
That Shes alone
But i dont want you to know
What i go Through
When that phone moves
And i know you
Probably be thinking
That im still in love with her
But im not and i assure
I just dont wanna
See her get hurt
She be known
As a drifter
And
She hits up
On my phone
Everytime
That Shes alone
But i dont want you to know
What i go Through
When that phone moves
And i know you
Probably be thinking
That im still in love with her
But im not and i assure
I just dont wanna
See her get hurt
Or sleep out on the dirt
In the cold
Half burnt half stoned
With a Fifth of jack
That she kills up on her own
Ciggarrette holes
On her clothes
As she tries to dispose
Of her hopes
Sorrow in her tone
When she spoke
Saying sorry for the way things go
I still dont even know
If this is just a bad dream
How can i wake up
And make everything
Go back to the way
That it was
That night i stayed up
I couldn't go to sleep

And i walked out on the street
