jaded

Got me sittin’ back, feelin’ complicated, more like jaded,

Pick up your phone…

Can’t ignore the feelin’, I don’t wanna go back, just leave me alone,

’Cause once goin’ forth, ain’t no turnin’ back,

Keep me by your side, you the only one I want, boy, I don’t have to lie—

I been fightin’ what I feel, but it’s written in my eyes,

Every time you say my name, it feel like July,

Warm on my skin, but you cold when you try,

To pretend you don’t need me, I see through the disguise.

I ain’t perfect, but I’m real, I won’t waste your time,

If you ridin’, then you ridin’, don’t just cross my mind,

I need more than late-night calls and empty lines,

I need actions that match up with every “you mine.”

Don’t love me halfway, don’t hold me at bay,

Don’t tell me you’ll change if you stuck in your ways,

I been hurt before, I know how this plays,

But somethin’ ’bout you make me wanna stay.

So if you knock on my heart, do it gentle this time,

I been rebuildin’ peace, had to teach me to shine,

I’m not runnin’ no more, I’m drawin’ my line—

Either love me for real…

Or let me be fine.
