Self-Destructive

Aus10 Vocals, Production, lyrics just coalesce to a downtempo, chill trap vybe that's so pleasant to the ears. Definitely my favorite track off the EP!

lyrics

i don’t wanna wait
i don’t wanna wait
but i know that it’s too soon
i could run away
but i wanna stay
so i gotta play it cool

if only i had been the one to meet you first
but knowing i was second only makes me hurt
and every time you say her name it makes it worse
so maybe we should stop

we can’t help it if we want this
are we selfish? are we self-destructive? (x2)

CHORUS/DROP:
i don’t wanna wait
i don’t wanna wait
but i know that it’s too soon
i could run away
but i wanna stay
so i gotta play it cool

SECOND VERSE:

if we never try
if we never try
then i guess we’ll never know
lying to ourselves
promise not to tell
it’s out of our control

if only i had been the one to meet you first
but knowing i was second only makes me hurt
and every time you say her name it makes it worse
so maybe we should stop

we can’t help it if we want this
are we selfish? are we self-destructive? (x2)
