Tired Of Earning Love

[Verse 1]
You only call when you’re bored
Then blame me if I don’t pick up
You say I’m cold, heart on the floor
But you’re the one that keep switchin’ up
Got me jumpin’ through hoops just to hold you
Got me doubting myself when I know you
Tell me why I gotta bleed just to show you
What I been showin’ you
[Chorus]
Why I gotta earn your love just to lose it?
Why I gotta break myself just to prove it?
I’m tired of the games, tired of the pain
Tired of beggin’ you to stay the same
Why I gotta fight this hard just to feel you?
Why I gotta heal your scars just to kill you?
Inside of me, girl, I’m givin’ up
I’m tired of all this work just to taste your love (yeah)
[Verse 2]
You say “it’s fine,” but your tone cut deep
Turn my good days into bad weeks
You hold my past like a weapon
Bring it up every time you feel threatened
I text back fast, you leave me on read
Then flip it ‘round, say it’s all in my head
Love shouldn’t feel like an interview
Why I gotta prove that I’m into you?
[Chorus]
Why I gotta earn your love just to lose it?
Why I gotta break myself just to prove it?
I’m tired of the games, tired of the pain
Tired of beggin’ you to stay the same
Why I gotta fight this hard just to feel you?
Why I gotta heal your scars just to kill you?
Inside of me, girl, I’m givin’ up
I’m tired of all this work just to taste your love (tired of it)
[Bridge]
I gave you my trust, you gave me excuses
You call it love, I call it confusin’
If peace is a price, I pay it in silence
Distance from you, from all of this violence
I wanted a home, you wanted a hero
I gave you my all, you gave me a zero
I’m layin’ it down, I’m choosin’ me now (yeah)
Can’t keep chasin’ you around
[Chorus]
Why I gotta earn your love just to lose it?
Why I gotta break myself just to prove it?
I’m tired of the games, tired of the pain
Tired of beggin’ you to stay the same
Why I gotta fight this hard just to feel you?
Why I gotta heal your scars just to kill you?
Inside of me, girl, I’m givin’ up
I’m tired of all this work just to taste your love (tired of all this work)
I’m tired of all this work just to call it love

rap, Slow, spacious R&B-trap ballad at ~65 BPM, male vocals. Deep sub-bass and sparse, swung drums under icy pads and distant vocal chops. Verses keep an intimate, confessional tone with close-mic lead and soft auto-tune glides; hook blooms with stacked harmonies, filtered ad-libs, and a wide reverb tail. Occasional half-time drops and muted 808 slides to stretch the emotion, letting silences hit as hard as the drums., slow, r&b, romantic
