OLD NEWS lyrics

[Intro: Jabari Manwa]

I did this all for you (I did, I did, I did this all for you)

[Chorus: Jabari Manwa]

I did this all for you, what more I gotta prove?

The games you’ve put me through, they’re oh so old, be new

I did this all for you, what more I gotta prove?

The games you've put me through, that's old news

[Verse 1: Matt Champion]

I wish it didn't end like this

You stopped lovin me a long time ago, didn't notice

Caught a new wave, couldn't contain how I feel about it

Easy to say I'm to blame, go the day about it

How you say you don't love me like you used to?

Solitude is becomin' so unusual

Old news, that you rush into everything

It's why I'm stuck here, tellin' you, you

[Chorus: Jabari Manwa]

I did this all for you, what more I gotta prove?

The games you’ve put me through, they’re oh so old, be new

I did this all for you, what more I gotta prove?

The games you've put me through, that's old news

[Verse 2: Merlyn Wood]

Say less, rain check, we friends I guess

I got regrets, hop in, lessons

You don't hear me, but I bought you earrings (What?)

From the PJ's, treat you like an heiress

I ain't trickin', but I got it for your hair and nails (What?)

I always treat 'em too good, and it always fails

You an angel, I'm the one that tripped and fell (I’m trippin’)

Can't let it go, I missed my own fairytale (I'm winnin')

[Verse 3: Baird]

I'm out my head, I'm in my notebook, I'm feelin' hopeful

I joined the band in Dylan's tour bus, turn up my vocals

Still makin' faces at your GoPro, like fuck the promos

I'll do the live shows for a one-horse town

The blue-black behind my eyelids and unheard sounds

The words cracked in silence, the sun go down

But no regrets, coyote baby, you can watch me howl

We just so different, you and I, guess we both know now

Guess we both know now

[Chorus: Jabari Manwa]

I did this all for you, what more I gotta prove?

The games you’ve put me through, they’re oh so old, be new

I did this all for you, what more I gotta prove?

The games you've put me through, that's old new

[Verse 4: Joba]

Wish I knew what it meant when I said I loved you (I love you)

Rips in the threads of the net I fell through (Ah)

What I gotta do for you?

Bet my life paid the price

Almost died, shit was tight (For real)

What a life to lose, beautiful and tragic, it reigns true

Pleasure and pain, both remain (They do)

I was amazed and amazed with you

That's what I meant, not what I said to

If you only knew
