Downtown, backstreets
He says he needs someone like me but
He don't know that all I want is me, myself, and I
Uptown, creeping
I don't mind you leaving 'cause
In the end my only friend is me, myself, and I
I can't remember the last time I needed someone who
Feeded my hunger with empty promises
Yes, I know your face, have you forgotten your place?
It's over there, go anywhere, just don't be around me
Downtown, backstreets
(S)He says (s)he needs someone like me but
(S)He don't know that all I want is me, myself, and I
Uptown, creeping
I don't mind you leaving 'cause
In the end my only friend is me, myself, and I
Your hollowed out voice, abandoned by my choice
To branch out before I lash out and do something I regret
Please don't call, leave that phone alone
I'm gonna snap, it's gonna crack, and you have to call an uber home
Call an uber, homeboi
Downtown, backstreets
(S)He says (s)he needs someone like me but
(S)He don't know that all I want is me, myself, and I
Uptown, creeping
I don't mind you leaving 'cause
In the end my only friend is me, myself, and I
Downtown, backstreets
(S)He says (s)he needs someone like me but
(S)He don't know that all I want is me, myself, and I
Uptown, creeping
I don't mind you leaving 'cause
In the end my only friend is me, myself, and I

Intoxicated
Drowning in a cloud of smoke, I'm
Feeling elated
Chemicals effecting us both
I wanna get real close to you, but
I know it's not the best thing for me to do
I'm craving your touch but
I know it's gonna be too much
Funny how you got me, baby
Running 'round acting crazy
You just amaze me
With your love, with your love
Hypnotize me
Make me do what you want
Don't criticize me
My love is something to flaunt
How do you want me, baby?
Do you like fast or slow?
Don't taunt me baby, let's just get up and go
Funny how you got me, baby
Running 'round acting crazy
You just amaze me
With your love, with your love
Ohhhh
Runnin' round actin crazy, you just amaze me
Funny how you got me, baby
Running 'round acting crazy
You just amaze me
With your love, with your love

If You Want Me To(o)
04:04

|
There's a fight, there's a war
Raging on between us
And I don't wanna be a pessimist
But I don't see us getting through this
What is the deal with a love that's so real
That makes it so hard to nurture?
I can't go on like this, but I need your kiss
Losing my sanity is my only consequence
And I'll survive with you
Only if you want me to(o)
Do you want me to(o)?
I'm not desperate or empty
Just in love
And I don't wanna feel like I'm not good enough
Why do I find it so hard to keep you satisfied?
And why don't I know where you want me to go
When I'm running through your mind?
And I'll survive with you
Only if you want me to(o)
Do you want me to(o)?
And I'll survive with you
Only if you want me to(o)
Do you want me to(o)?
Ooh do you want me to(o), cuz i want you to(o)
Ooh do you want me to(o), cuz i want you to(o)
And I'll survive with you
Only if you want me to(o)
Cuz I want you to(o)
And I'll survive with you
Only if you want me to(o)
Do you want me to(o)?

Why don't you make me into someone who let's you be who you are
Be who you are?
I am adjusting, trying to let you back gently into my heart
Into my heart
Oh oh oh oh
You're sneaking swiftly into the parts of me otherwise left hidden
Yeah yeah
I'm moving slowly towards your love and I'll be there shortly
If you promise not to shove me away
Oh oh oh oh
Oooh oooh oooh ooh oooh ooooh

It's like growing towards the sun

We moving like clockwork, baby
But we running out of time.
We stereo soldiers, baby
Trying not to step out of line.
I know my words don't mean shit to you when we shout and fight,
But I know actions mean shit to you when I'm doing what you like so...
Why do we keep going through the motions?
I just want all your love and devotion.
But why do we keep going through the motions?
I just want your, I just want your...
Why do we keep going through the motions?
I just want all your love and devotion.
But why do we keep going through the motions?
I just want your, I just want your...
Your love,
There ain't nothing better that anyone could give me but your love.
There ain't nothing I need more than your love, your love, your love.
Why do we keep going through the motions?
I just want all your love and devotion.
But why do we keep going through the motions?
I just want your, I just want your...
Why do we keep going through the motions?
I just want all your love and devotion.
But why do we keep going through the motions?
I just want your, I just want your...

Each stitch you've sewn into my heart,
They too tight, they too worn but I guess I'll keep you on, keep you on
My guess is you ain't worth it but,
you're worth to a girl like me,
to a freak like me, can't you see?
Maybe it's time for you to loosen up the reigns and
Let me inside your brain, baby.
'Cuz
I'm just tryna fall in love again
I'm just tryna fall in love again
I'm just tryna fall in love again
I'm just tryna fall in love again
I'll try to keep this shit inside.
Lord knows it'll keep you warm,
I'm just tryna keep you warm, keep you warm.
It's a game that lovers play,
When I hold you, you hold me too.
Just like lovers do, or is that not you?
Maybe it's time for you to loosen up the reigns and
Let me inside your brain, baby.
'Cuz
I'm just tryna fall in love again
I'm just tryna fall in love again
I'm just tryna fall in love again
I'm just tryna fall in love again

I don't know where she goes when she feels all alone.
I don't know where she goes when she feels all alone.
I don't know where she stands, but ooh she's good with her hands.
I don't know where she stands, but ooh she's good with her hands.
Hold me down.

'Cuz I lost my phone between your carseats,
But I lost myself between your bedsheets.
Yeah I lost my phone between your carseats,
But I lost myself between your bedsheets.
Ooh

Maybe this time she'll stay and remove all the pain.
Maybe this time she'll stay and remove all the pain.
Maybe I'll be the one, the one that she's thinking of.

'Cuz I lost my phone between your carseats,
But I lost myself between your bedsheets.

You say you do, but you don't.
So you won't let me, no you won't let me.
You say you care, but you don't.
No you don't love me, no you don't love me.
Take time,

Take care,
Take them?

In The Middle

My friends say I drink too much.
My friends say I smoke too much.
I just think I do too much, do everything to not feel so much.
I been walking these streets for days.
I been feeling like this for days.
I been working like this for days, work too hard just to feel the same.
I just think my head's fucked up.
My grandma says I should grow up.
Birthdays, Christmas I don't show up.
Burning bridges 'cuz I fuck shit up.
I been walking these streets for days.
I been feeling like this for days.
I been working like this for days, work too hard just to feel the same.
Can't follow a map to it, no signs to it, no roads to it.
Can't follow a map to it, just me and it
In the middle,
In the middle.
Feeling so little,
In the middle.

Banging on my door again ain't ya?
Now you gonna break down these walls, oh
Ripping out my soul again ain't ya?
So now you're gonna "give it your all"
You wanna let this go, but you can't seem to let me go.
You wanna hold me close, but you can't seem to let me know that
You love me, you adore me.
Say you never ever put nothing before me.
Say you love me, say you love me.
I'm tired of counting sheep waiting for you.
Say you waiting for me.
Ooh
I'm tired of counting sheep.
You know I'm not waiting, I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be.
Ooh
You wanna let this go, but you can't seem to let me go.
You wanna hold me close, but you can't seem to let me know that
You love me, you adore me.
Say you never ever put nothing before me.
Say you love me, say you love me.
Ooh
Ooh
Oh Oh
You wanna let this go, but you can't seem to let me go.
You wanna hold me close, but you can't seem to let me know that
You love me, you adore me.
Say you never ever put nothing before me.
Say you love me, say you love me.
I'm tired of counting sheep waiting for you.
Say you waiting for me.
