Passing of Time
Chris Lyrics

Time after time I tell you why again
Repeatedly, I explain myself to you over and over

Why won't you let me leave?
Why do you refuse to let me go?

Fuckin' up more than a bag, you fuckin' up friends
You're causing more damage than just a monetary loss, you're ruining relationships

If I told you the whole truth, would you lie?
If I shared everything honestly with you, would you still deceive me?

If my heart is in your hands, will I die?
If you hold my heart, will it bring about my demise?

If your momma and your daddy don't like me
If your parents disapprove of me

Would you stay in my corner when I fight?
Would you support me when I face difficult situations?

Would you love me? (Love me)
Would you truly love me?

Do you believe in life after love?
Do you trust that there can be happiness after a past relationship?

'Cause I've been thinkin' we both had enough
Because I've been contemplating that both of us have reached our limit

But I'm not sayin' that's the answer, oh
But I'm not claiming that's the solution

I won't ask, so tell me if it's real, if you really ain't on trust
I won't directly inquire, so let me know if the love is genuine, if you truly lack trust

I'ma make you bust, but I need you to be cool with yourself
I can satisfy you sexually, but it's important for you to have self-acceptance and confidence

Maybe we be goin' slow-mo
Perhaps we should take things slowly

Maybe we should pick it up like on the go-go (go-go)
Maybe we should move faster like in a lively dance

Maybe change of pace is needed for the glow up
Perhaps we require a different approach to grow and succeed

We can take it or we leave it or we show out
We have the option to accept it, reject it, or demonstrate our abilities

Don't start nothin' and it won't be nothin'
If you don't initiate trouble, there won't be any conflict

Good love comes with a little bag and no strings
Genuine love involves a small commitment without any complications

Say now, if you ready I can be your savior
If you're prepared, I can be the one to rescue you

Say, oh, say when and I'ma see you later
Tell me the exact moment, and I'll meet you at a later time

Girl, you all up in my head, I keep my distance
Girl, you're constantly on my mind, but I maintain some emotional distance

I been wishin' for the better in an instant
I've been yearning for immediate improvement

I been handlin' all my shit 'cause it's the business
I've been dealing with my own problems because it's my responsibility

But I know if I let go that I will miss this (miss this)
But I'm aware that if I walk away, I'll long for this

Time after time I tell you why again (why? Why?)
Repeatedly, I explain myself to you over and over (why? Why?)

Why won't you let me leave? (Leave)
Why do you refuse to let me go? (Leave)

Fuckin' up more than a bag, you fuckin' up friends (ooh, ooh)
You're causing more damage than just a monetary loss, you're ruining relationships (ooh, ooh)

If I told you the whole truth, would you lie? (To me)
If I shared everything honestly with you, would you still deceive me? (To me)

If my heart is in your hands, will I die? (Will I die?)
If you hold my heart, will it bring about my demise? (Will I die?)

If your momma and your daddy don't like me (don't like me)
If your parents disapprove of me (don't like me)

Would you stay in my corner when I fight? (When I fight?)
Would you support me when I face difficult situations? (When I fight?)

Would you love me?
Would you truly love me?
