Shot Down
KITCHEN - Khalid Lyrics

You've been here before, surrounded in the cold
You've experienced similar emotional pain and loneliness in the past

You take me to places I've never known
You introduce me to unfamiliar emotions and experiences

And you push me to places I'll never go
You motivate me to explore uncharted territories within myself

I would die for you
I am willing to do anything, even sacrifice my life, for you

Tell me the truth
Please be honest and transparent with me

Am I all that you would need?
Do I fulfill all your desires and requirements?

If we're keeping it a hundred, you're all that I need for me
In all honesty, you're the only thing I need in my life

From the jump until forever from now, I would ride for you
From the beginning and for eternity, I would support and stay committed to you

But you got me shot down by love
However, your love has left me emotionally wounded and vulnerable

You got my heart now
You have control over my emotions and feelings

Why won't you stop now?
Why won't you let go of this hold you have over me?

I've been knocked down by you
You have repeatedly caused me pain and disappointment

I've been through it whole
I have experienced everything extensively

I've been through the worst
I have endured the most challenging situations

But I never knew how much our love could hurt
I did not anticipate the level of emotional pain our love would bring

Over my family I put you first
I prioritize you above my own family

Riding on my feelings is the only thing that work
Expressing and relying on my emotions is the only way to cope

I don't hear from the friends I thought were mine too
My supposed friends have distanced themselves from me as well

But I hold on to the poems I would write you
Nevertheless, I still cherish and keep the poems I wrote for you

Happy seventeen, I saw us two and you saw three
During our happy times, I envisioned a future with the two of us, but you saw someone else as well

I guess our lines are structured like a haiku
Our relationship and its dynamics are concise and structured, like a traditional haiku poem

Knocked down, knocked down
Repeatedly facing adversity and being knocked down

I've been shot down by love
Love has emotionally wounded me

And you got my heart now
You now have complete control over my heart

Why won't you stop now?
Why won't you relent and release me from this emotional turmoil?
