#JessieReyez #MutualFriend

Our mutual friend
Said you’d been calling
And said that you're sorry
And said that you wish we could talk
Well guess what?
You’re about 7 months late

Our mutual friend
Don’t know that you’re too self serving
But I do and that’s why your words don’t mean shit
And guess what?
This heartbreak morphed into hate

And you should be grateful that I didn’t hurt you back

If you die tomorrow
I don’t think I’d cry
I gave ya one too many nights
Don’t care if it sound cold it is what it is

And if you die tomorrow
I don’t think I’d cry
I gave ya one too many nights
Don’t care if it sound cold it is what it is

Our mutual friend
Had front row tickets to all our events
Every time that you played all your games
Well guess what I got new hobbies these days

And never again will I let you turn me back into a mess
That girls been on a carton of milk
And guess what
Your karma’s that you love me still

And you should be grateful that I didn’t hurt you back

But if you die tomorrow
I don’t think I’d cry
I gave ya one too many nights
Don’t care if it sound cold it is what it is

And if you die tomorrow
I don’t think I’d cry
I gave ya one too many nights
Don’t care if it sound cold it is what it is

Our mutual friend asked me how I sleep with so much hate in my heart
I told him I sleep like a baby
Told him I sleep like a baby yeah

If you die tomorrow
I don’t think I'd cry
I gave ya one too many nights
Don’t care if it sound cold it is what it is yeah yeah

And if you die tomorrow
I don’t think I’d cry
I gave ya one too many nights
Don’t care if it sound cold it is what it is yeah yeah

And if you die tomorrow
I don’t think I’d cry
I gave ya one too many nights
Don’t care if it sound cold it is what it is

To all people who keep saying she is so underrated: be happy you will be one of the people who can say you were here before she exploded. Because she will. That's a certainty.

[amiekp]

Jessie makes me want to sing and scream

[shannonfilialunae]

Jessie’s lyrics are so damn honest and painstakingly relatable to anyone who had been with anyone who was abusive in some capacity. But it’s more than that, her unique voice, her music that makes you feel, the melodies. Thank you for making music Jessie.

[tineeew]

I need an acoustic album of all her songs. Period. 🔥🔥

[Melisa-yfhp]

I love this song. It’s literally criminal how underrated she is bro😐 she’s so

[chelseadusseau]

She deserves a Grammy. She’s real. She’s raw. She’s iconic. She’s a lyrical genius. So proud of her, so happy I’ve been here through the years to see her grow. She’s absolutely amazing.

[MedicatedWaifu]

Been listening to you for so long now, “figured” was my safe haven back when I was in an abusive relationship, it’s been a 5-6 years since . And you still make music that literally heals me when I need it most . This is another heartache that you’ve made something to help heal myself with . Thank you for all the soul you put into your music .

[Leah-izSic]

Im so happy Jesse is finally getting the recognition she deserves! Love your music girl

[JessMoonFairy]

I love this song...this was so good..I still remember the day I found "figures " 6 yrs ago.. Jessie has the most phenomenal voice

[graceshaw]

after the tiny desk performance i’m always waiting for the transition into figures it’s so fkn good

[emiliemercure]

"Your karma’s that you love me still". This part got me.

[gtckcpi]

criminally underrated. I thought I was a late “new” follower in 2019 when I first discovered her and couldn’t believe I hadn’t heard of her before… now 2022, even more shocked she hasn’t blown up the way she deserves. Not many artists sound even better live than the actual record, she’s just loaded with talent & passion for her craft.

[sc-tkms]

Im confused her talent arrived for me years ago peeps are just discovering her lol! Maybe I should get online a little bit more often 😂 I love her realness and authenticity

Well, guess what? You're about seven months late
Our mutual friend don't know that you're too self-serving
But I do, and that's why your words don't mean shit
And guess what? This heartbreak morphed into hate
And you should be grateful that I didn't hurt you back
If you died tomorrow, I don't think I'd cry

Well, guess what? I got nеw hobbies these days, yeah
And nеver again will I let you turn me back into a mess
That girl's been on a carton of milk
And guess what? Your karma's that you love me still, whoa
And you should be grateful that I didn't hurt you back
But if you died tomorrow, I don't think I'd cry
I gave you one too many nights
Don't care if it sound cold, it is what it is
And if you died tomorrow, I don't think I'd cry
I gave you one too many nights
Don't care if it sound cold, it is what it is, oh
Yeah, our mutual friend
Asked me how I sleep with so much hate in my heart
I told them I sleep like a baby
Told them I sleep like a baby, yeah

I gave you one too many nights
Don't care if it sound cold, it is what it is
B*TCH A**

[antonioarvayo]

Keep healing, J. Your catharsis is beautiful, I am mesmerized by your way of doing so with your art 🧡

[ghadasmallworld]

This heartbreak morphed into hate.. and you should be grateful that I didn’t hurt you back… and if you died tomorrow, I don’t think I’d cry…. It is what it is…. WELL DAMN JESSIE.. I SECOND ALL THAT

[matthieusavary]

It's impressive how she changes the lyrics sometimes : in Tiny Desk version, there is a "I wish I could hurt you back", and not in this one. It's just like she were constantly living the thema, actualizing it as far as she feels the sense and the mood of it. Hardly ever seen a singer putting that much soul in her performance. Every song remains an open, a liquid magma, with opposite feelings collapsing together (hate and love, strengh and insecurity, sadness and joy...). Love it, love her.

[nikkicapone]

Jessie is one of those rare gems who has the ability to emote in a way that speaks directly to the heart, plus her voice is powerfully unique

[ohPokie]

Been listening to Jessie for years now. As a 30 year old dude, she goes fucking hard. Keep on keeping on Queen.

[mannyflorizz]

IMO she all the characteristics/ charisma to be a huge star… Not only does she have great vocals & a soulful tone but she wears her emotions on her sleeve without the worry of criticism. She is just genuinely herself & I bet she’s had the opportunity to sell out but yet she hasn’t so let’s appreciate her now & forever ❤️
