Your love feels like a SZA song with a hint of Jhené
And even when I do you wrong, never push me away
And even when you ain't okay, you make me feel great
You judge me by my character and not my mistakes
You make me want to leave the one I'm with, Usher Ray
But also understand the fact that I gotta stay
I've yet to figure out why you choose to sit and wait
When you possess all it takes to just walk away
You can easily find a man that'll put you first
It's like the better you treat me only makes me feel worse
Cause behind that smile you force, I know that you're hurt
I be wanting to let you go so you can match your worth
But after all your efforts, I feel that'll make me a jerk
Tell me what it is about me, I don't see the perk
I ain't even romantic, and I barely flirt
You like to take broken things and try and make them work
You play it cool, but I can hear your silent screams
Feel like a fool for chasing this silent dream
Work like a mule just to be kept behind the scenes
Work like a mule just to be kept behind the
You play it cool, but I can hear your silent screams
Feel like a fool for chasing this silent dream
Work like a mule just to be kept behind the scenes
Work like a mule just to be kept behind the
You my favorite human being, yet I still desert you
Maybe this is all a sign that I don't deserve you
You deserve time that doesn't come attached to curfews
Every time I gotta leave, I know how that shit irk you
I've taken so much from you, don't know how to reimburse you
You was at peace before I came along to disturb you
Is it wrong that I long to live inside your virtue
When everything you want and need isn't in our purview
You gotta leave and do whatever it is that serves you
While you're a gift, all I can ever do in life is curse you
I know you don't wanna give up, trust me I heard you
I can't both love you and hurt you, so I must urge you
You play it cool, but I can hear your silent screams
Feel like a fool for chasing this silent dream
Work like a mule just to be kept behind the scenes
Work like a mule just to be kept behind the (scenes)
