Take Care
The Weeknd. & Drake Lyrics

I know you've been hurt by someone else
I can sense that someone has hurt you before

I can tell by the way you carry yourself
Your demeanor and actions give away the pain you're carrying

If you let me, here's what I'll do
If you allow me, I have a promise for you

I'll take care of you (I'll take, I'll take)
I am willing and able to protect you and look after you

I've loved and I've lost
I have experienced both love and heartbreak in my life

I've asked about you and they told me things
I've inquired about you and received information from others

But my mind didn't change and I still feel the same
Even after hearing about you, my feelings remain unchanged

What's a life with no fun? Please, don't be so ashamed
Life without enjoyment is not worth living, so don't feel embarrassed about seeking pleasure

I've had mine, you've had yours, we both know, we know
We've both experienced our share of hardship and understand each other's struggles

They won't get you like I will, my only wish is I die real
No one else can provide the same level of care and love as I can, and I hope to remain genuine

'Cause that truth hurts and those lies heal
Hearing the truth can be painful, but lies can provide temporary relief

And you can't sleep thinking that he lies still
You struggle to rest knowing that he is still lying to you

So you cry still, tears all on the pillowcase
You cry yourself to sleep every night, leaving your pillow wet with tears

Big girls all get a little taste, ah
Even the toughest of women are susceptible to heartbreak

Pushing me away so I give her space, ah
You distance yourself from me, so I respect your need for personal space

Dealing with a heart that I didn't break
I am trying to navigate your heartbreak, even though I am not the one who caused it

I'll be there for you, I will care for you
I will always offer you my support and affection

I keep thinking you just don't know
I can't help but feel that you don't fully understand the depth of my feelings

Tryna run from that, say you done with that
You are trying to distance yourself from your pain and declare that you are finished with it

On your face, girl, it just don't show
You may be hiding your true emotions and putting on a brave face

When you're ready, just say you're ready
When you feel prepared, let me know

When all the baggage just ain't as heavy
When your emotional burden becomes easier to carry

And the party's over, just don't forget me
When the fun and excitement fades, I hope you don't forget about me

We'll change the pace and we'll just go slow
We'll adjust our approach and take things at a more relaxed and gradual pace

You won't ever have to worry, you won't ever have to hide
You can always be yourself and never feel the need to conceal your true emotions

And you've seen all my mistakes, so look me in my eyes
You are familiar with my imperfections, so look at me directly to see the real me

'Cause if you let me, here's what I'll do
I have a plan in mind, but only if you allow me

I'll take care of you (I'll take, I'll take)
Once again, I promise to protect and care for you

Yeah
A casual response, expressing agreement or acknowledgement

It's my birthday, I'll get high if I want to
Today is my birthday, so I can indulge if I choose to

Can't deny that I want you, but I'll lie if I have to
I can't deny that I desire you, but I will deceive people if necessary to keep my feelings hidden

'Cause you don't say you love me
You haven't verbally expressed your love for me

To your friends when they ask you
When your friends inquire about me

Even though we both know that you do, you do
We both acknowledge that you do have love for me

One time, been in love one time
I've only been in love once before

You and all your girls in the club one time
You and your friends have experienced a night out at the club together

All so convinced that you're following your heart
You are all confident that you're doing what's best for yourself emotionally

'Cause your mind don't control what it does sometimes
Occasionally, your heart takes control over your rational thinking

We all have our nights, though, don't be so ashamed
We all have moments of weakness, so don't feel embarrassed about it

You hate being alone, well you ain't the only one
You despise feeling lonely, but you're not alone in that sentiment

You hate the fact that you bought the dream
You don't like that you believed in a certain dream or ideal

And they sold you one
And someone or something convinced you to believe in it

And you love your friends, but somebody should've told you some'
You care for your friends, but someone should have warned you about something

To save you, instead, they say
To help you out, they simply say

Don't tell me, I don't care
I don't want to hear it, I'm indifferent

If you hurt, I don't tell you
I don't inform you when you've caused harm to me

You don't care, it feels true
It seems like you truly don't care
