[Verse 1]
I heard he spent five hundred pounds on jeans
Goes to the gym at least six times a week
Wears boat shoes with no socks on his feet
And I hear he’s on a new diet and watches what he eats
He’s got his eyebrows plucked and his arsehole bleached
Owns every single Ministry CD
Tribal tattoos and he don’t know what it means
But I heard he makes you happy, so that’s fine by me
But still, I’m just keepin’ it real
Still lookin’ at your Instagram and I’ll be creepin’ a lil’
I’ll be tryin’ not to double tap, from way back
‘Cause I know that’s where the trouble’s at
Let me remind you of the days when
You used to hold my hand
And when we sipped champagne out of cider cans
I guess if you were Lois Lane, I wasn’t Superman
Just a young boy tryin’ to be loved
So let me give it to ya
[Chorus 1]
I don’t wanna know about your new man
‘Cause if it was meant to be
You wouldn’t be callin’ me up tryin’ to f-
‘Cause I’m positive that he don’t wanna know about me
I don’t wanna know about your new man
We’ll get there eventually
I know you’re missin’ all this kind of love
But I’m positive that he don’t wanna know about me
[Verse 2]
Your new man rents a house in the ‘burb
And wears a man bag on his shoulder, but I call it a purse
Every year, he goes to Málaga with all the fellas
Drinks beer, but has a six pack, I’m kinda jealous
He wears sungla**es indoors, in winter, at nighttime
And every time a rap song comes on, he makes a gang sign
Says “Chune, bwoydem light up the room!”
But enough about him, girl, let’s talk about you
You were the type of girl who sat beside the water readin’
Eatin’ a packet of crisps, but you will never find you cheatin’
Now you’re eatin’ kale, hittin’ the gym
Keepin’ up with Kylie and Kim
In the back of the club, kissin’ a boy that ain’t him
Okay, you need to be alone
And if you wanna talk about it, you can call my phone
I just thought I would tell you, ’cause you oughta know
You’re still a young girl tryin’ to be loved
So let me give it to ya
[Chorus 2]
I don’t wanna know about your new man
‘Cause if it was meant to be
You wouldn’t be callin’ me up tryin’ to f-
‘Cause I’m positive that he don’t wanna know about me
I don’t wanna know about your new man
We’ll get there eventually
I know you’re missin’ all this kind of love
But I’m positive that he don’t wanna know about me
[Verse 3]
I woke up this morning lookin’ in the mirror
Thinkin’ to myself that I should probably be thinner
The industry told me to look like them
But I found my happiness in fried food for my dinner
I wish that she could have been my first time
And I wish that I’d never took that first line
And I wish that every word in this verse rhymed
But forgive me if it doesn’t
I wish that I could make peace with my older cousin
I wish he didn’t think that it was me when it wasn’t
I wish I didn’t love it when I’m high
And my face feels buzzin’
And the taste stays underneath my tongue, and
Wish that I had known what to do as a youngling
Wish I hadn’t dropped out of school
And missed every single party
With that hardly matters now, man, does it?
Wish I had an answer to everything, but f** it
I wish creatin’ art didn’t come with a budget
But while we’re on the subject
I wish my private life would have never gone public
But that’s the sacrifice that we make
Spendin’ my whole time high livin’ life away
[Verse 4]
I was born inside a small town
I’ve lost that state of mind
Learned to sing inside the Lord’s house
But stopped at the age of nine
I forget when I get awards now the wave I had to ride
The paving stones I played upon
They kept me on the grind
So blame it on the pain that blessed me with the life
Friends and family filled with envy
When they should be filled with pride
And when the world’s against me
Is when I really come alive
And every day that Satan tempts me
I try to take it in my stride
You know that I’ve got whisky
With white lines and smoke in my lungs
I think life has got to the point
I know without it’s no fun
I need to get in the right mind and clear myself up
Instead, I look in the mirror questioning what I’ve become
I guess it’s a stereotypical day for someone like me
Without a nine-to-five job or a uni degree
To be caught up in the trappings of the industry
They showed me the locked doors
I find another use of key
And you’ll see
[Chorus 3]
I’m well aware of certain things
That will befall a man like me
But with that said give me one more, higher
Another one to take the sting away
I am happy on my own, so here I’ll stay
Save your lovin’ arms for a rainy day
And I’ll find comfort in my pain
Eraser
[Verse 5]
I used to think that nothing could be better
Than touring the world with my songs
I chased the picture perfect life
I think they painted it wrong
I think that money is the root of evil and fame is hell
Relationships and hearts you fixed, they break as well
And ain’t nobody wanna see you down in the dumps
Because you’re living your dream
Man, this sh** should be fun
Please know that I’m not trying to preach
Like I’m Reverend Run
I beg you, don’t be disappointed
With the man I’ve become
Our conversations with my father on the A14
Age twelve telling me I’ve gotta chase those dreams
Now I’m playing for the people, Dad, and they know me
With my beat and small guitar wearing the same old jeans
Wembley Stadium crowd two hundred and forty thou
I may have grown up but I hope that Damien’s proud
And to the next generation, inspiration’s allowed
The world may be filled with hate
But keep erasing it now
I’m using jumpers for goalposts, cigarettes for throat cold
Mum sayin’, “Don’t smoke, ” no, I don’t listen
I got love for a ghost note
Shows on the gold coast
People that I don’t know share the same vision
I find truth in the hard times
And words that aren’t mine
Tryin’ to find a love with a compatible star sign
Sometimes I can’t write, sentences can’t rhyme
Starin’ at my notepad quick
I’m tryin’ to find mine
sh** quick before I hit it again
Surrounded in the industry by all these ignorant men
And who knew that I’d be paid just to pick up a pen
Just let me hit the studio when we can rip it again
I’m a competitive dick with an adrenaline kick
My daddy told me
“Work hard and you can never be sh**”
I’ve seen all my heroes dethroned except my dad
Set back here reminiscing ’bout the times we had
One wish
[Chorus 4]
I don’t wanna know about your new man
‘Cause if it was meant to be
You wouldn’t be callin’ me up tryin’ to f-
‘Cause I’m positive that he don’t wanna know about me
I don’t wanna know about your new man
We’ll get there eventually
I know you’re missin’ all this kind of love
But I’m positive that he don’t wanna know about me
