A'Rose

I tend to give ‘em way too much credit
Guess I’m a little too empathetic
Don’t need to waste my time
Trying to prove I’m enough for ya
I just happen to make it a habit

I was just fine before I met ya
Don’t think that I was counting seconds
Better be worth my time
(Better be committed, ‘cause baby I’m fine)
I been around, heard the excuses
Read all the lines, yeah I see through it
Better be worth my time
(Better be committed, ‘cause baby I’m fine)

Baby I’m fine
I’m VIP, gonna take a lot to get to me
I’m fine
RSVP, don’t interrupt my energy
Doin’ alright, livin’ a daydream
No I don’t need you to wake me
Better not waste my time
(Better be committed, ‘cause baby I’m fine)

Your empty words left me distracted
Guess all this time you were just actin’
Rehearse your lines before
You left intentions at the door
Go ‘head accuse me of overreacting

Baby I’m fine
I’ll be alright
With or without you
Don’t waste my time
Feeding me lies
I Know you’re about to
I don’t need to wait no more
I won’t even miss you
I’m already out the door
No it’s not an issue, trust me

I’m not ready for this winter weather
Feel the seconds ticking nothing’s getting any better

We were up all night, spending all of our time
Dancin’ round three words, we were doing just fine
Started with
Picking fights just to keep it alive
How did we get to where our friends are picking a side?
Holding hands, driving way too fast, past the warning signs
Now it’s all on the line

Seasons change but I don’t want ‘em to change us
And these days you been saying my name different
So afraid to see us fall but it’s immanent
If I’m being honest

I’m not ready for this winter weather
Feel the seconds ticking, nothing’s getting any better
See it all comin’ down, guess we’ll be going down together
I’m not ready for this winter weather
I’m not ready, I’m not ready

Leaves are falling faster, I can see a pattern
We’re headed for disaster
The nights are getting colder, I can feel you folding
Used to hold me in the morning
But lately you’ve been bitter
Like the coffee on my lips that you never kiss
Tell me it gets better
We said forever but I didn’t mean like this

Seasons change but I don’t want ‘em to change us
And these days you been saying my name different
So afraid to see us fall but it’s immanent
If I’m being honest

I’m not ready for this winter weather
Feel the seconds ticking, nothing’s getting any better
See it all comin’ down, guess we’ll be going down together
I’m not ready for this winter weather
I’m not ready, I’m not ready

Just take me back before all of this happened
Rewind to a time that wasn’t so tragic
Wake me when this feeling goes out of fashion
Cause this ending is getting hard to imagine

I’m not ready for this winter weather
Feel the seconds ticking, nothing’s getting any better
See it all comin’ down, guess we’ll be going down together
I’m not ready for this winter weather
I’m not ready, I’m not ready

Seasons change but I don't want 'em to change us
So afraid that we're not gonna make it

I never knew that I could feel like this
Until the day you came along
I was wounded
I was worried
I had walls
Until you broke them down down down

Don't let me be alone like this
Come home to me
You know you want to

Be with me, you are the missing piece inside of me
Be with me, I ain't gonna wait forever
Be with me, come home and be with me my baby
Be with me, yeah

You could just talk yourself out of this
Or you could just be a man
You were wounded
You were worried
You had walls
Until I knocked them down down down

Don't let me be alone like this
Come home to me
You know you want to

Be with me, you are the missing piece inside of me
Be with me, I ain't gonna wait forever
Be with me, come home and be with me my baby
Be with me, yeah

Love me then leave
Do as you please
I am not that woman
That you can take what you need

Kiss me goodnight
Can’t say goodbye
You say I’m a maybe
But still call me baby

Stand up and be a man
I dare you to love me, yeah
I dare you to look me in the eye
And tell me that you can get by
Without my love

Please tell me why
I’m not defined
As the kind of woman
Who’s love at first sight

'Cuz you clearly see
What this could be
You still let it all go
And so easily

Stand up and be a man
I dare you to love me, yeah
I dare you to look me in the eye
And tell me that you can get by
Without my love

Love me then leave
Do as you please
I am not that woman

It's like the look you gave when I walked in and saw you
In case I read you wrong just stay away

Cuz you got a hold on me
I can't release
If I can't have you then stay away

You don't know how to treat the heart that you hold
And I'm the fool that let you in to stay within my soul

You locked me in and I've held it in too long
Insatiable
You're well aware of what you do

Cuz you got a hold on me
I can't release
If I can't have you then stay away

You don't know how to treat the heart that you hold
And I'm the fool that let you in to stay within my soul

Break it down, tell me I don't need ya
When you know I'm the one to hold you down
Don't say you never needed me to hold you
Hold you
Down
Promised I would never let you go
Then there I go, wrong way I know
Flatline I go
Same pace as the script change I don't play games
Good girl it's been a pleasure, I can't wait forever
Though I wouldn't stop ya

Take me there if you want to
Leave me there if you need to
I'll be there anyway
Waiting to know if you'll go or if you will stay

You don't know how to treat the heart that you hold
And I'm the fool that let you in to stay within my soul

There’s a light in my eyes
It never dies as time goes by
You’re the reason that I find
The faith within this heart of mine
So don’t be surprised
That I’m better near you
I’m better near you

You’re the flame of my soul
Warm when it’s dark and I’m cold
I’m never too far from home
Through the highs and lows
Without you I’m just not whole
Home is wherever you are
And I’m better near you

With you I’m safe you bring my hope
I’ll never face this world alone
So it’s no surprise
That I’m better near you

You’re the reason that I strive
To hold on and keep the love alive
So don’t be surprised
That I’m better near you
I’m better near you

You’re the flame of my soul
Warm when it’s dark and I’m cold
I’m never too far from home
Through the highs and lows
Without you I’m just not whole
Home is wherever you are
And I’m better near you

And the distance tries to keep us away
But no amount of that will shake us
You’re always with me
And I’m near you
I'm with you

You’re the flame of my soul
Warm when it’s dark and I’m cold
I’m never too far from home
Through the highs and lows
Without you I’m just not whole
Home is wherever you are

What's this you're making me, making me feel that I
Wanna be near you and kiss you and feel you tell me why
Why did you lead me this way
What are you doin' to me
Are you just a reflection of what I want you to be

Break me free from
imagining of
Everything we could be
A ride or die
That's always with me

Don't wanna be here
Stuck forever
No more games
Come and get me, get me outta here

It's makin' me ill
Stressin us
I can't see what's up ahead, up ahead
Why ya turnin' me on
Turnin' me on
Are you are you just an illusion

Why it so hard to tell
Tell that you know me well
I think you put me you put me you put me in a spell
Why would I be a fool
Only to fall for you
Are you just a reflection of what I want you to be

Break me free from
imagining of
Everything we could be
ride or die
That's always with me

Don't wanna be here
Stuck forever
No more games
Come and get me, get me outta here

It's makin' me ill
Stressin us
I can't see what's up ahead, up ahead
Why ya turnin' me on
Why ya turnin' me on
Are you are you just an illusion
