But I wanted you to know that you don't belong here You think you're so important to me, don't you? Don't kill my vibe You love to tear me down, you pick me apart Then build me up like I depend on you But I throw myself from heights that used to scare me Guess you're surprised I'm the puzzle you can't figure out I tried to play it nice but Oh-oh-oh, ooh, ooh Don't kill my vibe Oh-oh-oh, ooh, ooh Don't break my stride (I tried to play it nice but) You think you're so important to me, don't you?
