Don't Say Goodbye
Alok Lyrics

I hate to love it
The conflicting emotions of not wanting to love someone who is causing pain, but not being able to help feeling that way.

Hate to love the way you keep me burning
The feeling of being trapped in a situation where you are continuously longing for someone but their actions keep you yearning.

Burning for your touch but you don't give it
Desperately wanting physical contact with someone but they are not reciprocating the same level of desire.

Give it to me only when you need it
The feeling of being used for only physical pleasure and never receiving true affection.

I know you need it
Despite the pain, the feeling of knowing that the other person is just as desperate for physical contact and desires it as much as you do.

But when you come my way
The anticipation and yearning when the other person is in close proximity.

Put it all on me
Willingness to take on all of the other person's emotional baggage and love them unconditionally.

But you never see
The feeling of being invisible to the other person despite being so vulnerable and open to them.

Ain't going home tonight
The willingness to compromise and stay all night just to be in the presence of the other person.

Unless you come with me
The constant need for the other person to be around to feel complete, and the fear of losing them.

Don't say goodbye, bye, bye, bye, bye
Begging the other person to stay, despite the fact that things may not be perfect.

Stay one more night, night, night, night, night
Being willing to compromise and stay for just a bit longer to keep the other person close.

You make it right
The feeling that the other person can make everything feel right and complete.

Love me wanting
The feeling of wanting someone to love you back so desperately and the pain that comes with it.

Something 'bout me craving gets you going
The knowledge that the other person craves your attention and the power that comes with it.

A taste in every space that we're alone in
The idea that every space you share with the other person becomes a reflection of your shared experiences and connection.

Then tease me on the dancefloor till the morning
The playful teasing and seduction that can lead to intimacy and deeper understanding.

The way you play me, I can't control
The feeling of losing control around the other person and the dangerous allure of being powerless in their presence.

Just wanna be the one who can take you home
The feeling of wanting to provide safety and comfort to the other person and keep them close.

You tell me that you want it, you wanna tell
The knowledge that the other person is trying to communicate their desire for you, but is having difficulty expressing their emotions.

But keep me waiting
The frustration of wanting immediate affection and attention, but also the awareness that true love can sometimes require patience.
