s/o kwan li for the first half of the instrumental & karyfana for the cover art
lyrics
We both want the same things
But we don't see eye to eye, yeah
I was waiting on rain
You left me out to dry
Think i'm done, but you hit me up, ill hit you back
Paint a smile on my face, hope my mask doesn't crack
Heard you fuckin' w someone that got you frustrated
You could do better
Sorry, I said it.
I'm tryna move pass it, pass it,
Stuck in my ways, know im petty n passive
Know you can't eat your cake and still have it
But don't get mad if I try to ration
can't even be mad, you told me you were like this
I said that I liked it
I still do but goddamn im fighting to see you
I tried to be see through
Attempts at transparency
But its not enough, apparently
Why do you pull me back in
Talk to me like you are more than friend
Its just the same, again and again
Lack of response got me drinking again
Why do you pull me back in
Talk to me like you are more than friend
Its just the same, again and again
Lack of response got me drinking again
You just like to start shit, stop it
feel myself being pulled inside it,
Hear your voice and I get excited
See your face when I try to write
Thought this was real
I knew the deal
but I'm still not prepared
I tried to call
the vibe was off
I swear you're never here
You tell me come over
The voice on my shoulder
Says you should go hold her
I hop in my car
Distant, you're distant
This isn't sufficient
connection is missing
But you still hold on
I swear its your ego
We both could free tho
Regardless we grow
So is this so wrong
Conflicted, conflicted
I notice the friction
I think you like tension
How can we go on
Why do you pull me back in
Talk to me like you are more than friend
Its just the same, again and again
Lack of response got me drinking again
Why do you pull me back in
Talk to me like you are more than friend
Its just the same, again and again
Lack of response got me drinking again
Watching the growth of this artist has influenced me in more ways than I can speak of. Honestly, very well written project. My favorite track was THINKABOUTME Solomon Wexley
