Rise Up
dRea Lyrics

Can you rise up for me, up for me, up for me babe
Will you stand up and support me, be there for me, and uplift me, my love

And I thought I could give you all the time you needed
I believed I could dedicate myself entirely to you, fulfilling your every need

And I thought I could please you, you don't appreciate it
I thought my efforts to make you happy would be valued by you, but you don't seem to recognize or acknowledge them

And I thought I'd surprise you
I planned to pleasantly catch you off guard

Got undressed and waited
I removed my clothes and patiently anticipated your reaction

But you seem aggravated
However, you appear annoyed or frustrated

How you so aggravated
I am perplexed by the intensity of your agitation

Ya my love always goes unnoticed
Yes, my affection is continuously overlooked or disregarded

I can never seem to keep your focus
I am unable to capture and maintain your attention

Can you be here with me in the moment
Can you exist fully in the present with me, rather than being distracted or distant

Doing everything I can think of
Taking every possible action that comes to my mind

Got me feeling like a waste of space love
I feel as though my love and presence are unappreciated and without value

Got me wondering if you were ever in love
I am now questioning if you have ever truly experienced love

And you asked me for space
You requested distance and independence

But venus ain't far enough for you
But even the planet Venus, symbolizing distance and space, isn't sufficient for your desire for separation

The moon don't have to chase
The moon doesn't need to pursue anything or anyone

The sun to light up the afternoon
The sun naturally illuminates the afternoon without exerting effort

Even works overtime in June
Even works beyond its normal hours during the month of June

I want your undivided
I desire your complete and undistracted attention

Don't seem one bit excited
You don't appear even slightly enthusiastic

Don't care enough to hide it
You don't care sufficiently to conceal your lack of interest

Just going through the motions
You're simply going through the mechanical actions without genuine feeling or involvement

We're more than broken
Our relationship is beyond being damaged or dysfunctional

Used up all my emotions
I have exhausted all my feelings within this relationship

Can you rise up for, up for me, up for me babe
Will you elevate yourself and be there for me, supporting and standing by me, my dear
