Post Malone - I Cannot Be (A Sadder Song) (feat. Gunna)

Lyrics

[Intro: Post Malone]
Oh, oh, oh, mm

[Chorus: Post Malone]
How am I free when you hold me so tight?
How can I be when you blockin' my light?
I cannot be what you want me
What you want me, what you want me to be
How can I see when you cover my eyes?
And can I just see when I'm so fuckin' tired?
So tell me right now what you want me
What you want me, what you want me to be

[Verse 1: Post Malone]
Yeah, ooh
What you wanna do is tell me off, no
What you wanna do is fuck me up, ooh
What you're not gon' do is top me off
So excuse me, for now, I love myself
You told me, you'd protect my heart, you'd be my only
Thinkin' 'bout that bullshit that you sold me
And I know that I ain't perfect
But you told you me you would hold me
You trip me up just to watch me fall
Smoke another a cigarette while she laughs one down
So down, down, 'til I'm flat on my face
You're the reason why I get so high

[Chorus: Post Malone]
How am I free when you hold me so tight?
How can I be when you blockin' my light?
I cannot be what you want me
What you want me, what you want me to be
How can I see when you cover my eyes?
And can I just see when I'm so fuckin' tired?
So tell me right now what you want me
What you want me, what you want me to be

[Verse 2: Gunna]
Got a custom diamond ring and, no, you don't got a wife
Got a large amount of things, I can't total the price
I told her, "I don't need her," she can leave out my life
You only get one shot, but if you leave, we go twice
Uh, pull up in a hard top, it's a drop-top
Told you we'd be multimillionaires right now
She know I do not care for no pussy on my mind
The factory Skeleton on my wrist is prime time
I thought you just like me with me
You start bein' mean to leave
I couldn't even find her 'cause you leavin' me
You could tell I'm triggered, feel my energy
And the bitch wasn't leavin' free
I keep it solid and we all agree

[Chorus: Post Malone]
How am I free when you hold me so tight?
How can I be when you blockin' my light?
I cannot be what you want me
What you want me, what you want me to be
How can I see when you cover my eyes?
And can I just see when I'm so fuckin' tired?
So tell me right now what you want me
What you want me, what you want me to be

[Outro: Post Malone]
Ooh, ah, ah, ah, ah
