J. Perry Lyrics

You don't love me but your arms hold onto me
Despite not feeling affection towards me, you still desire physical closeness.

You confuse me cause you don't know what you want
Your mixed messages and unclear intentions make it difficult for me to understand how you feel.

I should run away
It would be wise for me to distance myself from this situation.

Before I fall too deep
To prevent myself from getting too emotionally involved in something that may not be good for me.

I should leave your bed
To physically remove myself from an intimate situation that may cause me harm in the long run.

Before I fall asleep
To avoid prolonging a dangerous or unhealthy situation.

But my heart wants to stay
Despite the risks, I feel drawn to this experience on an emotional level.

Pretend it's love for today
In order to satisfy my emotional desires, I must temporarily delude myself into thinking that this is a genuine romantic connection.

Cause you and I, both need love
Our desire for love and affection motivates us to engage in this situation, even though it may not be the healthiest choice.

You don't see me cause your lips are locked with mine
The physical intimacy we share causes you to overlook my true feelings and intentions.

You only need me cause you're lonely at night
Your desire for companionship is driven by a temporary, superficial need rather than genuine affection.

Now I really see
I have gained clarity about the situation and my own feelings.

What your colors are
I can now see your true intentions and values.

I'm not colorblind
I am not ignorant to your true nature and intentions.

Don't need you on my mind
I do not wish to dwell on someone who does not have my best interests at heart.

You're wrong for me but I love you
Despite recognizing that this situation may not be a healthy choice, I still have strong feelings of affection towards you.

But my heart wants to stay
My emotional attachment to you persists, in spite of the potential consequences.

Cause you and I, both need love
Our shared need for love and companionship continues to motivate us to pursue this situation, even though it may be unhealthy or unwise.

Anyway
Despite the risks and challenges, we both continue to desire love and affection, and are willing to pursue that connection in whatever way possible.
