No Good
DVSN Lyrics

Somehow I lost the vision
I don't have a clear sense of where this relationship is going.

I'm not like you, I'm not so optimistic
I'm not as hopeful about our future together as you are.

I realize I'm just too realistic
I see things for what they really are, no matter how undesirable.

My mom says you're the one I should have kids with
My mother wants me to settle down and start a family with you.

I should just listen
I'm starting to think she's right, and I should take her advice.

Know I need you close when I'm pushin' you away
I need you to stick by me, even when I'm being distant or difficult.

So I buy a little bag just to match your little waist
I try to show my affection for you by buying you gifts and making you feel special.

And yeah, I know I'm basically the reason
I'm aware that my own flaws are causing problems in our relationship.

We can't make this work
Our issues are preventing us from moving forward and being happy together.

I don't know what I did wrong
I can't pinpoint exactly where things went wrong between us.

Didn't do this right, didn't that like you need
I feel like I've fallen short in meeting your emotional needs.

I don't know what's goin' on
I'm confused and unsure about the state of our relationship.

Think I need space now, but I want you right here with me
I'm conflicted because I want to be alone, but I also crave your presence and comfort.

I don't wanna be alone
I fear being by myself more than I fear the problems in our relationship.

Even commitment is gettin' lonely
Despite being in a committed relationship, I still feel empty and alone.

I'm just no good at love
I struggle with giving and receiving love in a healthy manner.

Got me thinkin'
I'm starting to believe that I'm not cut out for love and relationships.

Love ain't no good for me
I feel like love only leads to pain and heartbreak for me.

Yeah, we talk, there's a lot we ain't sayin'
Our conversations feel superficial and lack honesty and vulnerability.

Feel like we were rushed, but we're probably waitin' (yeah, yeah)
We may have rushed into this relationship, and now we're both hesitating to take the next step.

To see who gon' be the first one to let their guard down
Neither of us wants to be the first to expose our vulnerabilities and true feelings.

This ain't no competition
Our relationship shouldn't be a competition to see who's more guarded or in control.

Both of us could be winnin'
We could both benefit from being more open and honest with each other.

Saying all these things that we already know
We're talking about surface-level issues and avoiding the deeper or more difficult topics.

Ain't going nowhere we ain't been before, I noticed
We keep circling back to the same issues and conflicts, without making any progress.

I have a hard time
I struggle with

Openin' up to people
Being vulnerable and sharing my true self with others.

I get closed off
I become emotionally unavailable or distant.

I just, I feel that, my bein' emotional in front of someone it makes me weak
I believe that showing my emotions to someone else is a sign of weakness or vulnerability.

And vulnerable
Easily hurt or taken advantage of.

And I never
I've never

Truly loved anybody
Felt a deep, genuine connection and affection for another person.

They've always stabbed me in the back
The people I've cared about in the past have betrayed my trust or hurt me in some way.
