(Verse 1)
I’m done with your late-night text,
Chasing shadows, what’s next?
All I need is the truth,
Stop playing games, let’s be uncouth.
I’m tired of these empty scenes,
Lost in your never-ending dreams.
Unlock the door, make it right,
Show me love, not just the fight.
I’m tired of the daydreams,
Caught up in your slipstreams,
You pull me close then push away,
I’m done tryna read between.
Your words fall like a soft breeze,
But they don’t put my mind at ease,
I’m over all your hidden schemes,
You’re fading in my memories.
(Pre-Chorus 1)
Stop with the waiting, I crave the real,
This back-and-forth is hard to feel.
Are you in or are you out?
Don’t keep me guessing, let me know, no doubt.
You keep me hanging just out of touch,
But I’m not here for the almost-love.
You say I’m yours, but I need to know,
Are we rising or just sinking slow?
(Chorus 1)
I don’t wanna wait, I need that spark,
Cut the chase, light up the dark.
I’ll be on my way, just say the word,
If you’re not sure, don’t be absurd.
I don’t wanna wait, I need your touch,
Say the words, don’t leave me in a clutch.
Do you want me, or just play?
Your mixed signals lead me astray.
I don’t wanna wait, I need your high,
You keep me guessing, boy, I can’t lie.
Is this for real or just a ride?
Cuz I’m losing patience, you’re out of time.
(Bridge 1)
In the quiet, I’m lost in thought,
Searching for the answers you’ve not brought.
What’s the secret, what’s the game?
Are we more than just a flame?
You haunt me like a shadow, yeah, you linger close,
Actin' like you’re lost, but I know you know.
I can feel the spark, but you keep it low,
Why you afraid to let it show?
We’re always dancing ‘round the truth,
But I see through the smoke, I see through you.
You want control, but boy, I do too,
So tell me, are we breaking through?
(Chorus 2)
I don’t wanna wait, I need that spark,
Cut the chase, light up the dark.
I’ll be on my way, just say the word,
If you’re not sure, don’t be absurd.
I don’t wanna wait, I need your touch,
Say the words, don’t leave me in a clutch.
Do you want me, or just play?
Your mixed signals lead me astray.
I don’t wanna wait, I need your high,
You pull me in, then you leave me dry.
Is this a game or a lullaby?
I’m tired of dancing ‘round your alibi.
(Verse 2)
I’m done with the fast talk,
We’re caught up in a slow walk,
Tell me, are we on lock?
Or is it just smoke and mirrors?
I’ve been losing my breath,
Chasing down what’s left,
If we ain’t got the depth,
Then boy, what’s next?
I don’t wanna play this tug-of-war,
I’m reaching out, but you shut the door.
You say you’re close, but I feel the space,
I’m falling behind in this endless chase.
(Pre-Chorus 2)
Tell me, is this just a phase?
Or are we stuck in a maze?
You’ve been running in place,
While I’m drifting away.
(Chorus 3)
I don’t wanna wait, I need your high,
You pull me in, then you leave me dry.
Is this a game or a lullaby?
I’m tired of dancing ‘round your alibi.
I don’t wanna wait, I need yooooooooouuuuuu
