See the days are gone and I've been losing my mind
The past is behind me and I have been feeling overwhelmed and confused
I'm crashing I'm running out of time
I am feeling overwhelmed and pressured with limited time
Now the way that I perceive things
My perspective on things has changed
Hopin you won't deceive me
I hope you won't betray or lie to me
But it's just the feeling inside that I
But it's my internal emotions that
Had to find a way to find out
I had to figure out a way to discover
This relationship is about
What this relationship truly means
Seems like you want to count me out(count me out)

I thought it would remain unchanged, but it still exists

Hoping that we remain together

Can you refrain from blaming me, at least this one time
Can you commit to my love
Can you fully dedicate yourself to my love
My heart's breaking down
My heart is falling apart
Girl, you know that I will never leave your side
Girl, you know I will always be by your side
I'm a believer in you girl
I have faith in you, girl
