So why can't I seem to move on

But go find comfort in her arms

I'm handling this the best

And I know I seem a mess

But mama's got her ladies, she'll be alright

And I won't remember tonight

So I won't know if I thought of you

Maybe if I keep going, pretend I'm not collapsing

I'll stop crying soon

I'm not still in love, I swear

I'm handling this the best
