Chris Brown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Girl, when I can't seem to find a little peace of mind
Baby, can you scream my name?
Please girl, can you scream my name, scream my name for me?
Scream my name, scream my name for me?
Can you scream my name? Oh
Baby, I just feel like giving up
I know you missing all of my calls
I let you see all of my flaws, oh
I give you my heart, it's not enough
Waiting everyday until you're done but you never call
Then you go turn around and swear that you really need my love
So tell me will you be there
On my darkest days
Girl, when I can't seem to find a little peace of mind
Baby, can you scream my name?
Please girl, can you scream my name, scream my name for me?
Scream my name, scream my name for me?
Can you scream my name? Oh
Thinking you get everything you want
This a relationship, a scholarship, a free ride
Say that you do everything you don't
Remember all the late nights when I cried?
And now I'm *67 on your phone
Calling blocked, I'm all alone
And you know that I can't sleep, baby
Lord knows I've tried
But I hate when you're away from me, baby
Only 'posed to be mine
All mine, on my darkest days
On my darkest days
Girl, when I can't seem to find a little peace of mind
Baby, can you scream my name?
Please girl, can you scream my name, scream my name for me?
Scream my name, scream my name for me?
Can you scream my name? Oh
On my darkest days
Girl, when I can't seem to find a little peace of mind
Baby, can you scream my name?
Please girl, can you scream my name, scream my name for me?
Scream my name, scream my name for me?
Can you scream my name? Oh
Oh, can you scream my name?
Oh, will you be there for me?
Oh, on my darkest days?
Oh, oh yeah, can you scream my name?
Oh, baby
Oh, can you scream my name?

On my darkest days
In the most difficult times of my life
Girl, when I can't seem to find a little peace of mind
When I am struggling to find any sense of calm or serenity
Baby, can you scream my name?
Can you remind me that you still care about me?
Please girl, can you scream my name, scream my name for me?
I need you to show me affection and reassurance
Scream my name, scream my name for me?
Call out to me, show me that I matter to you
Can you scream my name? Oh
Can you express your love and loyalty to me?
Baby, I just feel like giving up
I am feeling overwhelmed and defeated
Lately, everything just been too rough
Recently, everything has been incredibly challenging
I know you missing all of my calls
I understand that you are not responding to my attempts to reach out
I let you see all of my flaws, oh
I have shown you all my imperfections and vulnerabilities
I give you my heart, it's not enough
Even though I have given you my love, it doesn't feel sufficient
Waiting everyday until you're done but you never call
I wait every day for your response, but you never reach out
Then you go turn around and swear that you really need my love
You then come back insisting that you truly require my affection
So tell me will you be there
Please assure me that you will stand by me
Thinking you get everything you want
Believing that you have all your desires fulfilled
This a relationship, a scholarship, a free ride
This is a partnership, not a one-sided benefit or easy journey
Say that you do everything you don't
Claiming to fulfill all responsibilities that you actually neglect
Remember all the late nights when I cried?
Recall the times I was in distress during the late hours
And now I'm *67 on your phone
I am calling you with a blocked number
Calling blocked, I'm all alone
My attempts to reach you are hindered, leaving me isolated
And you know that I can't sleep, baby
You are aware that I struggle to find rest, my mind consumed with worry
Lord knows I've tried
I have made significant efforts
But I hate when you're away from me, baby
I dislike the distance between us
Only 'posed to be mine
You are meant to be exclusively mine
All mine, on my darkest days
I need your support the most during my toughest times
Oh, can you scream my name?
Can you show me your love vocally?
Oh, will you be there for me?
Will you stand by me in times of need?
Oh, oh yeah, can you scream my name?
Express your affection for me loudly
Oh, baby
My dear
Oh, can you scream my name?
Can you demonstrate your devotion to me vocally?
