Bria Lyrics

You done got me pacing and frustrating
You have made me anxious and exasperated.

Always answer late (that’s if I answer)
You always respond slowly, or not at all.

Usually I wait a couple seconds (then I hit decline)
Normally I wait for a short time, then reject the call.

Just gimme a break
Please give me some space.

We only had one date (or two, or three, or four)
We only went out a few times.

Fuck that, who’s countin’ anyway
But who's keeping track?

But you are, you are
But you are keeping track.

You’re keeping track like I’m a runner
You are keeping track like I am running a race.

But I wouldn’t have to run if you weren’t blowin’ up my number
But I wouldn't need to run if you weren't constantly calling and texting me.

Please stop, gimme space
Please stop and give me some personal space.

I can’t keep up with your pace
I can't keep up with your level of intensity.

I won’t lie, I- I
I won't lie.

I just need time (time, for me)
I just need time alone.

I just need time (time, time for me, for me, for me)
I need time to myself.

I just need time (I’m in no rush)
I need time and I am not in a hurry.

I just need time (I need more)
I need more time away from you.

Got me sayin’ girl what were you thinking
You have me questioning your thought process.

Know you shoulda seen it (comin’ for ya)
You should have seen this coming.

Men could be so clingy, always saying (Bria, you’re the one)
Men can be so needy, constantly telling me I'm the one for them.

Please don’t be mistaken, don’t wanna be taken (at least not by you)
Please don't misunderstand, I don't want to be with you (at least not anymore).

I can do better and you know it’s true
I can find someone better and you know it's true.

You ain’t, you ain’t
You are not.

You ain’t the one I really want
You are not the one I truly desire.

You should be lucky that I even answer (any texts or calls)
You should consider yourself fortunate that I even answer your messages or calls.

Don’t know who’s the one
I don't know who the right person is.

But two or three leads to more fun
Going out with multiple people is more exciting for me.

So standby
Just wait and be patient.

We ain’t talk in like a week
We have not spoken in nearly a week.

And I counting girl, let a n***a think
And I am counting the days, giving myself time to think.

It’s been like 8 days, 10 hours
It has been a period of eight days and ten hours.

You ain’t tell me time still what you need
You have not told me how much more time you need.

Holding hands taking walks on a beach
The romantic ideal of holding hands while strolling along the beach.

Toes in sand as the sky turns pink
A peaceful, idyllic moment shared by two people.

Big ass house with 2 kids and a jeep
The traditional idea of a happy family life, complete with a big house, kids, and a reliable car.

Rushing to that bag so we can pack our things
Preparing to leave together and start a new life.

And if it’s not all that, then what do all this mean
If it does not work out as planned, then what does this all mean?

Why you tryna clip our wings?
Why are you trying to limit us?

Why your *censored* still stuck in my head
Why are you still on my mind?

Why your phone number all in my dreams
Why is your phone number appearing in my dreams?

Only see the text when I call you a queen
I only see your messages when I try to flatter you.

Why you wanna talk when you gettin’ lonely
Why do you only try to talk to me when you are feeling lonely?

Nothing I can do, you don’t care about me
There's nothing I can do about it, you just don't care about me.

Why you say want time if you just got leave?
Why did you say you need time when you were just planning on leaving?

Run it, run it back (time for me)
Repeat the song (as the singer is asking for alone time).

Play it back
Rewind the song.

Watch it, run it back
Listen to it again and again (to suggest it is worth listening to repeatedly).
