Lately I been feeling kinda off, I won’t lie
Like I’m asking for too much just to get a little time
Told myself I’m good, I don’t need nothing extra
But it’s heavy when I’m quiet, feel it build under pressure
Tryna keep it cool, keep it cute, don’t say too much
But every time I bring it up it get switched up
Now I’m second guessing everything I said
Like maybe I’m the one that’s doing too much in my head
⸻
Pre-Chorus
I be shrinking just to keep the peace
But it don’t feel like peace to me
Say I’m fine, but it’s hard to be
When I don’t get no room to breathe
⸻
Chorus
Don’t count moments like I’m free
That’s not how it feel to me
You see pieces, I feel everything
That’s the difference, honestly
If it’s love, why it feel one way
Why I gotta beg for space
I’m not asking for too much
Just a little room to breathe

Verse 2 (conversation)
Said I needed something steady, you like
“we both been getting time”
I just sat there reading that like…
maybe I’m tripping, maybe it’s fine
Then it turned into
“don’t rewrite it”
Now I’m staring at my phone like
how I rewrite something I’m living in
I can name like… a few times
But that’s not even the point
It’s everything in between
That you don’t ever really join
⸻
Pre-Chorus
Now I don’t even say too much
Let it sit, let it build up
‘Cause every time I open up
It get flipped into something else
⸻
Chorus
Don’t count moments like I’m free
That’s not how it feel to me
You see pieces, I feel everything
That’s the difference, honestly
If it’s love, why it feel one way
Why I gotta beg for space
I’m not asking for too much
Just a little room to breathe
⸻
Bridge (almost spoken/thoughts)
Maybe I don’t need you to get it
Maybe I just need me a minute
Somewhere I don’t gotta explain it
Somewhere I can feel like I’m in it
‘Cause I know what it’s been like
I was there for all of it
You can keep your version, that’s fine
I’m done arguing with it
⸻
Outro (soft, trailing)
I’m not tryna fight about it…
I just…
need a little space
