[INTRO]
You feel so far away, even when you’re next to me
(yeah…) I miss the way you used to love me
[DROP]
[HOOK]
Why did you have to turn into the stranger I know everything about
Baby we’re supposed to be “together forever” what’s all this about
Everything I earn is for us stop showing so much fucking doubt
I know you want me around more, baby I’m working don’t pout
(don’t pout…)
[VERSE 1]
I’ve been working every day just to give us something better
You keep questioning my love like I won’t keep my promise forever
I know I haven’t been around, but I’m still trying to hold us together
You see the time that I’ve been gone, I see the life we’re building together
(together…)
I hate when you get quiet, ‘cause I know what that means
You start pulling back from me and disappearing in your dreams
I would give you all I have, even pieces of me
But I can’t keep fighting for a love that you don’t believe
(don’t you believe?)
I know money can’t replace me being there when you need me
But everything I’m doing is so someday you won’t need me
I just want you beside me when this whole thing gets easy
After everything I’ve sacrificed, I need you to see me
(see me…)
[PRE-HOOK]
Baby, I don’t want your doubt
I just need you to stay
I’m trying to build our future
Don’t let us break on the way
(don’t let us break…)
[HOOK]
Why did you have to turn into the stranger I know everything about
Baby we’re supposed to be “together forever” what’s all this about
Everything I earn is for us stop showing so much fucking doubt
I know you want me around more, baby I’m working don’t pout
(yeah, yeah)
[VERSE 2]
I remember when forever didn’t sound like a lie
When you would grab my hand and swear you’d never say goodbye
Now we’re sleeping next to each other, still feeling miles apart
And I’m wondering how the hell we got this far from the start
(how’d we get here?)
You know everything about me, every scar and every flaw
So how’d you become a stranger when you’re the one I wanted most?
I don’t need you to be perfect, I just need you to be honest
If there’s something that you’re feeling, baby, tell me what the problem is
(tell me…)
Maybe I’ve been chasing money when you needed my attention
Maybe all these long nights made you question my intentions
But I swear there’s nobody else, you’re the reason that I’m stressing
I’m just scared I’ll lose you while I’m trying to give you everything
(everything…)
[BRIDGE — beat strips back]
Don’t let all this distance turn us into strangers
(please don’t)
Don’t let all this working make you think I don’t love you
I’m doing this for us…
I’m still doing this for you
(for you…)
[FINAL HOOK — full drop]
Why did you have to turn into the stranger I know everything about
Baby we’re supposed to be “together forever” what’s all this about
Everything I earn is for us stop showing so much fucking doubt
I know you want me around more, baby I’m working dont pout
(don’t pout…)
(I’m right here)
(together forever…)
(yeah…)
