Never thought I’d see you rolling, Floating, On an ocean of a world that I can’t love. And after all you did I can’t believe that you’re holding up. Seeing inside of the madness, sadness, I can’t have this, guess it’s how I was brought up. And I’m not trying to say that you’re naive ‘cause you’re old enough. 
 You and I just come from different places, But places don’t explain the different faces. You wear for different eyes, Praying in church and popping that night. But I’m just a goodie nigga, what do I know? Singing out my mind over an intro. I opened up my eyes, And then I realized that all we had was just a- (Chorus) Temporary love Every time you were around I found a Common ground and Every time I felt it wrong. To criticize the status of what we had when you were gone. 
You are all I thought I needed, pleaded, Not to leave it ‘Cause with you’s where I belonged. But loving you was trying to find a peace with an atom bomb. But when you left I didn’t understand it. I left you with my love you left me stranded. And then we tried again, butterflies blindly playing pretend. But now I know exactly what the game is. So don’t try and tell me how you played it. Not tying to demonize, between you and I All that we got is just a- (Chorus) Temporary love Instrumental Break (Chorus) Temporary love

Lay to rest all that you want to say. Lay to rest all that you are. Be the shoulder that you talked about When all these tears, they didn’t fall. (Chorus) 
And I will fight this war. And I will brave the rain, But I can’t walk on water, When all I am is flame. 
I ain’t asking for a miracle. I’m just asking for a change. Swiftly pass the years that mould my face, But I believe that peace, it shouldn’t age. (Chorus) 
And I will fight this war. And I will brave the rain, But I can’t walk on water, When all I am is flame. Instrumental Break (Chours) And I will fight this war. And I will brave the rain, But I can’t walk on water, When all I am is flame.

You know that you don’t mean no harm to nobody, But baby there is more that you should know. Every day that I spend away from your body Is torture to my mind and to my soul. 
Darling, do me wrong in all of the right ways. Your love’s something I can’t do without. Pull me down, won’t you roll me ‘round ’til I’m sideways. We will never figure this shit out. 
So give me a chance to love you right, And I’ll be the one to hold you tight, And when you are lonely, girl, each night, I’ll be right there. This world, it can be so dark and cold, But nobody ever gotta know, That when you are lonely, girl, each night, I’ll be right there. (Chorus) Well I’m caving into these bad habits, ‘Cause I simply need to have it. And it’s difficult to understand it, Why I love you so,
Why I want you so. Your love is the sweetest thing when you’re sorry, But heartbreak is a game you play so well. 
For the night, it’s just you and I and our folly, And inside of your gates is where I’ll dwell. 
So give me a chance to love you right, And I’ll be the one to hold you tight, And when you are lonely, girl, each night, I’ll be right there. This world, it can be so dark and cold, But nobody ever gotta know, That when you are lonely, girl, each night, I’ll be right there. (Chorus) Well I’m caving into these bad habits, ‘Cause I simply need to have it. And it’s difficult to understand it, Why I love you so,
Why I want you so. (Feat. TheVybe) Do I ever cross your mind, When you’re out there with your friends? Doing what’s unheard of, That we probably wont speak of, But who knows what’s really going on? I can’t so much cause I’m home. 
Part of me say I gotta love you, The other me say I can’t trust you. You always asking me why I keep coming back, Y-you got me feeling for your body just like crack When you throw it back like a quarterback. Girl, you only do it ‘cause you know I like that. Ooh You’re body got me in the mood. Ooh I don’t really know what to do. (Yeah) 
So give me a chance to love you right, And I’ll be the one to hold you tight, And when you are lonely, girl, each night, I’ll be right there. This world, it can be so dark and cold, But nobody ever gotta know, That when you are lonely, girl, each night, I’ll be right there. (Chorus) Well I’m caving into these bad habits, ‘Cause I simply need to have it. And it’s difficult to understand it, Why I love you so,
Why I want you so.

Bedroom 03:50
Spent the whole night vision red. Trying to make some sense, Of all the things you said. A completely empty bed. Where you can rest your head, Is what you want instead. And I tried my best to hear, Everything you'd feel, 'Til everything I feared came to fruition. And all the signs, Hidden between your lines, Have lead me to realize the truth, my baby, And it makes me sick to say it. I know that his bedroom's Been yours for awhile now, Been yours for awhile now. And I know that he loves you Whenever he wants now, Whenever he wants now. Now my mind is running free, Thinking of the things, that you did to me. 'Cause before we could agree, To put an end to things, You were between his sheets. And I tried my best to hear, Everything you'd feel, 'Til everything I feared came to fruition. And all my friends, Tell me that I'm a mess, As I'm falling into your brokenness, my baby, Listen to the words I'm saying I know that his bedroom's Been yours for awhile now, Been yours for awhile now. And I know that he loves you Whenever he wants now, Whenever he wants now.
