[Pre-chorus] Take you to the candy store, real sweet Like roses I think My toes and my feet Real cold like you are to me [Chorus] Sun shining on the shattered glass Teach me what you think new class Ooh-ooh, new seat I'll try again next week Sun shining on the shattered glass Teach me what you think new class Ooh-ooh, new seat I'll try again next week [Verse] I don't learn my lesson (Woah) Keep me guessing Asking questions Count my blessings (Yeah) Count my problems I ain't stressing That's my motto No time for messing (Yeah) Stuck in the present, no time like the past Spent the past year tryna recreate the last Spent the past year tryna unblur my mask Ain't tryna be rude but I really gotta ask Why, Why you gotta make yourself a problem? Smashing through the gates of my garden Of my garden, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh [Pre-chorus] Take you to the candy store, real sweet Like roses I think My toes and my feet Real cold like you are to me [Chorus] Sun shining on the shattered glass Teach me what you think new class New seat I'll try again next week Sun shining on the shattered glass Teach me what you think new class Ooh-ooh, new seat I'll try again next week [Outro] I'll try again next week
