[Verse 1]
Used to ghost when it got too real
Left texts on read, let time just kill
Blamed stress, blamed work, blamed fate
Anything but looking in the mirror straight
Now I double back when I raise my voice
Own my part, that’s a grown-man choice
“I’m sorry” ain’t soft, that’s steel
That’s courage, that’s how bruises heal
I don’t run from the mess I made
I sweep it up, we can talk, we stay
You say “I’m hurt,” I don’t flip, I listen
If you cry in my hands, that’s a blessing I’m given
[Chorus]
This that grown man season, baby, can you feel it
Touch you with respect, every word got meaning
I don’t play with hearts, I protect your feelings
(yeah) that emotional healing
Turn you on with the way I’m honest
Lips on your neck while I keep my promise
Body to body, but the mind come first
Emotional maturity, I make it sound like a curse (so good)
[Verse 2]
You trigger old pain, I don’t make you pay
I unpack my past, keep it out your way
I don’t call you “crazy” when you call me out
I call myself lucky that you stay around
Late-night talks when your doubt get loud
I don’t laugh it off, I don’t pass it down
I say “I’m here, even when it’s rough”
“Tell me more,” when you said enough
I put my ego on airplane mode
So we can land this love on a safer road
I don’t flirt with a line I can’t defend
I’d rather lose a thrill than lose my best friend
[Chorus]
This that grown man season, baby, can you feel it
Touch you with respect, every word got meaning
I don’t play with hearts, I protect your feelings
(oh) that emotional healing
Turn you on with the way I’m honest
Lips on your neck while I keep my promise
Body to body, but the mind come first
Emotional maturity, I make it sound like a curse (so good)
[Bridge]
I’m not afraid to say I’m scared (yeah)
I’m not ashamed to say I care
You can lay your burdens here
Whisper all your secret fears
I’ll take it slow when you need space
Kiss your forehead, hold your waist
Love ain’t lust, but it tastes like this
Deep talk, deep trust, deep kiss (mm)
[Chorus]
This that grown man season, baby, can you feel it
Touch you with respect, every word got meaning
I don’t play with hearts, I protect your feelings
(yeah) that emotional healing
Turn you on with the way I’m honest
Lips on your neck while I keep my promise
Body to body, but the mind come first
Emotional maturity, I make it sound like a curse (so good)
