[Verse 1]
You hit my line when she’s asleep
Pull up, hoodie up, in the backstreet heat
You kiss me like you’re drowning deep
But you disappear by the end of the week
You leave your chain on my nightstand
Then text “yo, move it” ‘cause she might scan
You’re holding two lives in your hands
I’m one of them, but I’m not your man
[Pre-Chorus]
You say, “Give me time”
I’ve been giving you nights
You say, “Baby, I’m trying”
But you’re holding me quiet
You keep my love in the dark
While you’re playing your part
I’m done breaking my heart, ‘cause
[Chorus]
I’m tired of being your secret (your secret) [riff: oh-woah, oh-woah]
Hiding every feeling I mean when I mean it (yeah)
You hold her hand in the daylight
Then you hold me tight when the clock strikes midnight
I’m tired of being your secret (so tired) [run: se-e-ecret]
You get my body but you never really see it
If you won’t stand in the truth you’re in
Then I’m walking, I’m done being your sin
[Verse 2]
You say you’ll tell her “one day soon”
But “soon” been stretching like a June-to-June
You keep your heart in a locked room
I’m stuck outside, just the taste of your perfume
You call me “bro” when we’re all out
Then in my bed it’s “baby, don’t stop now”
You’re scared of what they’ll think, I get it
But I’m the one who keeps regretting it
[Pre-Chorus]
You say, “Give me time”
I’ve been losing my shine
You say, “Baby, I’m trying”
But you’re crossing the line
You keep my name off your lips
But you’re shaking your hips
I’m not built for this script, ‘cause
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register] I’m not your side quest, I’m the whole game
Not your half-love, not your fake name
I want Sunday brunch, not Sunday 2 AM
I want front row life, not the backseat shame (yeah) [ad-lib: backseat, backseat]
[whispered vocals] Tell her the truth or let me loose
Tell yourself the truth, what you got to lose?
Piano in my chest, these keys so bruised
I can’t keep bending just to fit your rules (nah) [run: ooh-ooh-ooh]
[crescendo]
If you can’t love me in the open sky
Then baby, this is our goodbye
[Chorus]
