Verse] They say the twenties are the best years of your life But I seem to be spending mine missing sunsets 'Cause I'm busy on my phone observing everyone else How I compare and obsess Just me, my phone, and these walls And I've been sober for some months But I can feel the demons waiting on my downfall Since I'm so ugly and irrelevant I've been losing friends as if I'm tryna get rid of them I Googled why I'm still desperatе for validation and sedatives, huh Callin' men who don't givе a fuck about me Then when my mother called I pretend I'm busy I'm tryna end up anywhere except from where I been Curtains closed, bed bound, amphetamines Mmm, and this devil on my shoulder, man, I'm tryna to shake him off My ex is on my timeline, it's as if he's showing off My self-esteem is Facetune and ring lights My ego is conquering new heights Camila Cabello & Lil Nas X 'HE KNOWS' Official Lyrics & Meaning | Genius Verified Camila Cabello & Lil Nas X 'HE KNOWS' Official Lyrics & Meaning | Genius Verified [Pre-Chorus] I think I need some (Think I need some) Do you need some?
