Here we go again, this ain't nothing new

I ain't tryna run game, but it's true 'cause you

You call me for help, you gotta chill

Need time for yourself, you gotta heal

This ain't somethin' you felt, it's how you feel

Aight, wе built this all wrong, I'll take blame

But instead of us tеarin' it down, we'll rearrange, baby

If I leave this up to you (To you)

We'll lose all that we knew (We knew)

Tell me, have you ever been so deep

We don't even know where we are?

Together shouldn't feel so lonely, yeah

Though it's where I wanna be
