Lyrics:
It was built in a day,
so it fell in a day
What do you expect?
What do you expect?
What do you expect?
What do you expect?
At best, we’re a stretch
And a leash won’t hold my neck
I’m a mess
What do you expect?
What do you expect?
What do you expect?
And it’s okay
I know I’ll be replaced
A bitter aftertaste
But it’s not that bad
It’s okay
There’s nothing to explain
Only yesterday
you weren’t so sad
Keep your breath
Keep my texts
Who’s next?
Who’s next?
I hope it connects
I’m not at my best
But I put my best foot forward
Foot forward
Foot forward
I put my best foot forward
Foot forward
Foot forward
What else can I do?
Foot forward
Foot forward
Foot forward
I put my best foot forward
Foot forward
Foot forward
And it’s okay
I know I’ll be replaced
A bitter aftertaste
But it’s not that bad
It’s okay
There’s nothing to explain
Only yesterday
you weren’t so sad
And it’s okay
I know I’ll be replaced
A bitter aftertaste
But it’s not that bad
It’s okay
There’s nothing to explain
Only yesterday
you weren’t so sad

Metro on the beat 🔥
metro can do alot better than this
Feels weird
@@ashertheaudiophile1917 they have already collaborated before
Frank dukes
@@lilknux7660 no way
Such sad lyrics, but the juxtaposition of the happy sound is simply beautiful. Thank you James for another outstanding record
Metro on beat
The juxta-what now?
The moment the tag line METRO comes on you know its finna be fire.
Difficult to choose a favourite from the album, but this is up there
One of the best songs I’ve heard in my life
Song is SO short, but it's absolutely perfect. Pure perfectionism demonstrated right here. It's hard enough to write good songs, but it's so much more difficult to write a PERFECT song.
Nice. I like break up songs like this. They focus on positivity and forward motion rather than the ex. "Who's next/who's next?" Haha yes..."and it's okay..."
Why is this so pleasing to my ears ❤️❤️😩
Partially because metro boomin produced it😜
Because young metro wanted some more
Those cyclical chords are just spot on!!
It's so GOOD !! ALBUM OF THE YEAR !!
Bro I'm so glad I got family with good music tastes, otherwise I wouldn't find this
The goat!
Went to see him live and he preformed this song and it was amazing! Literally my soul was outside my body when he played this. He literally levitated me lmfao love him 🥰
Big mood
So good! Love this new vibe, great to see you in Minneapolis!
this song has got to be the last few from the album that I came to love. its so so good. the layering between vocals and the lyrics!!! oh and the instrumental is to die for! i hope there's a tour for this album soon
Great music, and one of the most beautiful album covers that underlines the messages of the songs. Both together are a great piece of art.
Children at schools should learn English via his songs, his melodic British English 🤤🤤🤤
Damn metro onna beat 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This one just came at the perfect moment in my life, one of my favorites for sure but the whole album is a real gem
Damn, think this is the best 🔥🙌 I appreciate that you have created such ear-friendly pieces of art
Beautiful. My favourite.
A true pioneer!
Absolutely incredible thanku so much love and God bless x
Unbelievable track. Every track on here Goes CRAZY on repeat
This song is tooo good
METROOOOOO!

Foot forward, foot forward, foot forward I put my best foot forward Foot forward, foot forward [Chorus] And it's okay, I know I'll be replaced A bitter aftertaste, but it's not that bad It's okay, there's nothing to explain Only yesterday, you weren't so sad [Bridge] Who's next And it's okay Who's next? I Who's next? I Who's next? I Who's next? I And it's okay Who's next? I Who's next? I Who's next? I Who's next?
