Khalid Lyrics

There's just
There is something important

Something I've been meaning to say to you
Something I've been wanting to tell you

Pick up your phone, hit me back, alright?
Please answer my call and respond

Peace
Goodbye or farewell

When there's someone you like
When you have feelings for someone

Not someone you love
Not someone you are deeply in love with

Say you needed the time
You claimed to need some time alone

And I don't wanna fuss
And I don't want to argue or fight

Got a lot on your mind
You have many things bothering you

And I'm not one to trust, no, mm-hmm
And I find it difficult to trust you

Are we playing a game?
Is this a game we are playing?

Am I down on my luck?
Am I having bad luck?

'Cause this shit's not the same
Because this situation is not as it used to be

We don't even touch
We don't have any physical contact

Should I stay in my lane?
Should I keep my distance?

I don't wanna bug you, mm
I don't want to bother or annoy you

So, when you're laying in your bed
So, when you are lying in bed

Playing my songs
Listening to my music

Can we share the thoughts that you keep? (That you keep from me)
Can we discuss the thoughts you hide from me?

Oh, you're running through my head
Oh, you're constantly in my thoughts

Leading me on
Giving me false hope or leading me in a certain direction

Honestly, I wouldn't change a thing, mm
Honestly, I wouldn't alter any part of our relationship

Don't be such a drag
Don't be so negative or burdensome

You don't gotta worry 'bout that, mm
You don't have to stress about that

I'll give you space if you need it
I'll give you distance or time alone if that's what you require

Say it to my face if you mean it
Express it directly to me if you truly mean it

You make me so mad (mad)
You anger me

Why you gotta do me like that? (Mm-mm, mm-mm)
Why do you treat me in this manner?

Don't leave me waitin' for no reason, oh, oh-oh, oh
Don't make me wait without any justification

Don't leave me waitin', waitin', baby
Don't leave me waiting, waiting, my dear

Why when I pull your way you start to let go?
Why do you distance yourself from me when I try to get closer?

I open up and you throw it out the window
I share my feelings with you, and you disregard them

I'd do anything for you to say
I would do anything for you to acknowledge

All we can do is try but you're so in denial
All we can do is make an effort, but you refuse to accept the truth

Been working at this for a long, long time
We have been trying to make this work for a significant period

It's feeling stagnant, we don't even fuck
Our relationship is stagnant, we don't even have intimacy

And I just stay in my lane 'cause I don't wanna bug you, mm
And I choose to keep my distance because I don't want to disturb you

Girl, I'm open
Girl, I'm vulnerable or emotionally available

Don't worry 'bout a thing
Don't stress or be concerned about anything

You should see me at night
You should witness the real me during nighttime
