Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I've been waiting for you
And I've been feeling like I'm
Lost this time
And you've been holding on me
And I've been holding on you
But what is it for
What is it for
And all you do is hope and pray
But we just need to wait sometimes
I be feeling all this weight sometimes
Let me just
Take a second I'll be fine
Cause you and I been trying, you've been crying all the time
Probably understand if I confided in you, fine
You're a wake up to me lying and you're tired of all the lies
Can we just
Stay up, lay up, yeah
And deal with all the hate stuff later
You wanna hold me down, feeling held back
You tell me that you love me and I felt that
Cause you've been waiting for me
And I've been waiting for you
And I've been feeling like I'm
Lost this time
And you've been holding on me
And I've been holding on you
But what is it for
What is it for
You and I
Fighting this war
Tryna find peace out here
Do or die
Fighting this war
But what is it for
You ask a lot of me, I shouldn't have to question it
I guess I felt the pressure, I be heading home - let me think
Indecisive and now I got you waiting on me
Need to heal, but got you being patient on me
You're an angel that I love with everything I have
Feeling like we're draining one another, never giving back
Thinking - what is it for, if it's that
But this flame wouldn't burn so bright if we didn't match
Cause you've been waiting for me
And I've been waiting for you
And I've been feeling like I'm
Lost this time
And you've been holding on me
And I've been holding on you
But what is it for
What is it for
You and I
Fighting this war
Tryna find peace out here
Do or die
Fighting this war
But what is it for

Wondering what the point of our relationship is if it is not fulfilling or nourishing
But this flame wouldn't burn so bright if we didn't match
But our passion and attraction would not be so strong if we were not compatible
