Holy Basil Lyrics by Upset

Upset

2019

[Verse 1]
Took a knife right to the back for that
Said I'm never going back to that bar
You wait in line with all your faithless friends
Does it make you feel ashamed
To watch them smile while they rub salt in my face?

[Chorus]
You lost control, you lost a friend
I lost my voice, got drunk again
You lost control, you lost a friend
I lost my voice, got drunk again
And all the while you were counting back in your head
You cried when your said that I always won
And you had it so hard, had it so hard, have it so hard now

[Verse 2]
Took a knife right to the back for that
Said, "I'm never gonna leave my house"
Lay in bed all day and hide my face 'cause I feel anxious
Don't want to feel like a chump anymore

[Chorus]
You lost control, you lost a friend
I lost my voice, got drunk again
You lost control, you lost a friend
I lost my voice, got drunk again
And all the while you were counting back in your head
You cried when your said that I always won
And you had it so hard, had it so hard, have it so hard now

[Bridge]
Lost my voice, got drunk again
Lost my voice, got drunk again
Lost my voice, got drunk again
Lost my voice, got drunk again

[Chorus]
You lost control, you lost a friend
I lost my voice, got drunk again
You lost control, you lost a friend
I lost my voice, got drunk again
And all the while you were counting back in your head
You cried when your said that I always won
And you had it so hard, had it so hard
Have it so hard, have it so hard now
