I'm tryna find
Love yet
On first sight
Ooo
You don't wanna hand me your Heart
Cuz I'm tryna let me die
RighteousI'm tryna find
Love yet
On first sight
Ooo
You don't wanna hand me your Heart
Cuz I'm tryna let me die
How you living
Do you miss me
Are you here alone
It's been a min
Reminiscing
All the things we've done
I find myself out searching
For your face in other ones
But I never seem to find it
Really you're the only one
I know it's wishful thinking
But I'd love to take you home
I'm counting all my blessings
Wanna re ignite our love
I know you're looking for excuses
This'll be a better run
Trust I know i can't be perfect but We're brighter than the sun
Honestly
I wanna be
The person that you callPeriodically
It bothers me
I dropped the fucking ball
And ironically
Apologies
Don't seem to fix it all
But We're logically
A prophesy
We're written in the stars
I know you're into me
The imagery
Has covered all our scars
Will you love me to infinity
I'd even walk to mars
Just To make you feel that energy We had up in our hearts
Living life without you is only Tearing me apart
Righteous
I'm tryna find
Love yet
On first sight
Ooo
You don't wanna hand me your Heart
Cuz I'm tryna let me die
Lately I've been overthinking
Everything you've said
But I'm finally doing better
Even tho your love was dead
And I really miss the nights
That you laid up in my bed
So I'm praying for a sequel
Just To put this pain to rest
A world we're not together in
Is a world I won't possess
I swear I'm being honest
We could put it to the test
I ain't got love for any other
Cuz I'm pretty damn obsessed
And the way you got me thinking
I might as well just be possessed
Righteous
I'm tryna find
Love yet
On first sight
Ooo
You don't wanna hand me your Heart
Cuz I'm tryna let me die
We were toxic
It was obvious
You're honestly a drug
But I swear I think you're perfect
Just a living piece of art
And there's part of me
That thinks we could do better
If we start
So just take my hand
Let's rule the world
And hit a quick restart
I'll make it with the music
And I'll make it to the charts
I'll be swimming in the money
We could fill the fucking cart
We could fly to Calabasas
As we sing to Bruno mars
I know somewhere out in Brooklyn
We can reconnect our hearts
Until we meet again
I'll just keep mixing up the drugs
He forgot about the arrows
Cupid shot me with a slug
Ain't no doctor that could save me
But your voice would be enough
My broken hearts a prison
And you got me in the cuffs
I've been searching for the answers
At the bottom of my cup
I'm dependent on the liquor
I can't seem to get enough
But I'm holding it together
Hopin you call up on my phone
And if it's anybody else
They'll leave a message at the tone
Righteous
I'm tryna find
Love yet
On first sight
Ooo
You don't wanna hand me your heart
Cuz I'm tryna let me die

Love yet
True love, however,
On first sight
Despite only just seeing you
Ooo
Oh
You don't wanna hand me your Heart
You are reluctant to open up to me
Cuz I'm tryna let me die
Because I am struggling with my own personal demons
How you living
How have you been?
Do you miss me
Have you been thinking about me?
Are you here alone
Are you by yourself right now?
It's been a min
It has been a while
Reminiscing
Thinking back on
All the things we've done
The memories we made together
I find myself out searching
I continually look for
For your face in other ones
Someone who looks like you
But I never seem to find it
However, I have yet to find anyone like you
Really you're the only one
The truth is, you are the only one

Periodically
Every once in a while
It bothers me
It upsets me
I dropped the fucking ball
I messed up badly
And ironically
Interestingly enough
Apologies
Saying sorry
Don't seem to fix it all
Don't make everything right again
But We're logically
However, it makes sense
A prophesy
Meant to be
We're written in the stars
Our fate is predetermined
I know you're into me
I know you have feelings for me
The imagery
The picture in my mind
Has covered all our scars
Has hidden all of our past pains
Will you love me to infinity
Will you love me forever
I'd even walk to mars
I would go to the ends of the earth
Just To make you feel that energy We had up in our hearts
Just to rekindle the passion we once had
Living life without you is only Tearing me apart
Living without you is causing me so much pain
Lately I've been overthinking
Recently I have been thinking too much
Everything you've said
About everything you told me
But I'm finally doing better
But I am starting to improve
Even tho your love was dead
Even though our relationship has ended
And I really miss the nights
I truly miss spending the nights
That you laid up in my bed
When we slept together
So I'm praying for a sequel
So I am hoping for a second chance
Just To put this pain to rest
Just to end this suffering
A world we're not together in
A world where we are not together
Is a world I won't possess
Is a world I do not want to live in
I swear I'm being honest
I promise I am telling the truth
We could put it to the test
We could give it a try
I ain't got love for any other
I do not have feelings for anyone else
Cuz I'm pretty damn obsessed
Because I am obsessing over you
And the way you got me thinking
The way you make me feel
I might as well just be possessed
I may as well be under your spell
We were toxic
Our relationship was unhealthy
It was obvious
It was clear to see
You're honestly a drug
You are addictive
But I swear I think you're perfect
But I believe you are flawless
Just a living piece of art
You are one of a kind
And there's part of me
A portion of myself
That thinks we could do better
That believes we could achieve more
If we start
If we begin anew
So just take my hand
So come with me
Let's rule the world
Let's conquer everything
And hit a quick restart
And start fresh quickly
I'll make it with the music
I will succeed in the music industry
And I'll make it to the charts
And achieve high success
I'll be swimming in the money
I will have lots of wealth
We could fill the fucking cart
We could buy whatever we want
We could fly to Calabasas
We could travel to a luxurious destination
As we sing to Bruno mars
While listening to Bruno Mars' music
I know somewhere out in Brooklyn
I know there is a place in Brooklyn
We can reconnect our hearts
Where we can fall in love again
Until we meet again
Until we see each other once more
I'll just keep mixing up the drugs
I will continue to partake in unhealthy habits
He forgot about the arrows
Cupid neglected to aim his arrow correctly
Cupid shot me with a slug
I was hit hard by Cupid's arrow
Ain't no doctor that could save me
No one can fix me
But your voice would be enough
But hearing from you would make me feel better
My broken hearts a prison
My heartache is like a prison
And you got me in the cuffs
And you are the reason why
I've been searching for the answers
I have been seeking solutions
At the bottom of my cup
At the bottom of my glass
I'm dependent on the liquor
I rely on alcohol
I can't seem to get enough
I always need more
But I'm holding it together
But I am keeping it together
Hopin you call up on my phone
Hoping you reach out to me
And if it's anybody else
And if someone else calls
They'll leave a message at the tone
They will have to leave a voicemail
