On the IG live where Grace first played a recording of this song, she noted "No one really likes this song. They tell me they like it, but they are not super enthusiastic about it. But I LOVE this song" (she did want to rerecord some of the vocals)

At her first public performance of the song, at The Elsewhere venue in Brooklyn on September 26 2023, she gave a snippet of the back story for the song saying; I wrote this song about a lot of people I worked with..

Lyrics

Feeling like I just got beaten up(iffy, she was speaking over it)
Maybe I just don’t work hard enough
Have we lost it, have we lost the touch?
Just tell me straight up what it is you want

But if I’m seen as a cigarette butt, smoked down just to get a quick buzz
Thrown down into the dirt and dust, when you’ve had enough
When you’ve had enough
Might as well just cut it off now, save us from just dragging it out

I guess I should just go
No, you don’t need me now

I guess I should just go
No, you don’t need me now

It used to be so new, and free, and fun
(Ah ah)
(Ah ah)
But now it’s office jobs for everyone
(Ah ah)
(Ah ah)

But if I’m seen as a cigarette butt, smoked down just to get a quick buzz
Thrown down into the dirt and dust, when you’ve had enough
When you’ve had enough
Might as well just cut it off now, save us from just dragging it out

I guess I should just go
No, you don’t need me now

I guess I should just go
No, you don’t need me now

I’m screaming in am empty room
Is my voice too loud for you
Thinking ‘bout all that we used to do

And at this point, I’ve lost my voice
Trying to sing through all the noise
Doesn’t sound the way it used to

I guess I should just go
(Well, I guess I should go)
(Well, I guess I should go)
(Well, I guess I should go)
No, you don’t need me now
(Well, I guess I should go)
(Well, I guess I should go)
(Well, I guess I should go)
