Lyrics[]
[Chorus]
Baby, when you fought me at the door
Kinda hard to force what's natural
Maybe you don't want what you need most
Is it crazy I'm not scared to be alone?
[Post-Chorus]
Now I barely need ya, do what you do best and be alone
Gotta tell him, "Rest in peace", bet you thought I'd die alone
It don't make sense to me but I keep my head up high alone
You ain't even there for me, but now, you're scared to be alone
[Verse 1]
Too many drinks to think about you
I had too many thoughts to let you wander
Now you're an afterthought, I lost ya
And now you want me, babe, you want me, but it's bye
Givin' mе reasons to fly, pack up my shit and be wise, jump in thе ride
Hit up my dude on the side, like, look what you threw to the side
You get the vibe, either we fuck or we fight but I got the feelin' you're right
I'm out my mind, doesn't make sense when I cry, if we can't make up 'least we try
[Chorus]
(Oh, oh, oh) Baby, when you fought me at the door (Fought me at the door)
(Oh, oh, oh) Kinda hard to force what's natural
(Oh, oh, oh) Maybe you don't want what you need most
(Oh, oh, oh) Is it crazy I'm not scared to be alone?
[Verse 2]
Yeah, I ain't wanna share my dreams when it involves you, not the man I need (Yeah)
Started feelin' like I failed my team, missin' gigs for you, bet you never felt like me
Different levels to the game, that's fast, spendin' bands last week while your ass act cheap (Yeah)
Lonely at the top while your ass miles deep, got me thinkin' that you scared of yourself, not me
Impossible, from a Prius to gold carriages, middle finger to you so you see what a whole karat is (Aaah)
I need a answer, a reader of more tarots, you couldn't tell that the both of us needed a whole therapist
I made you fam when I greeted your whole parents but later, I realized they ain't teach you what no sharin' is
I know you hearin' this, I know you scared of it, but bein' lonely better than 'needs control,' cherish it
[Chorus]
(Oh, oh, oh) Baby, when you fought me at the door (Fought me at the door)
(Oh, oh, oh) Kinda hard to force what's natural
(Oh, oh, oh) Maybe you don't want what you need most
(Oh, oh, oh) Is it crazy I'm not scared to be alone?
[Post-Chorus]
Now I barely need ya, do what you do best and be alone (I barely need ya)
Gotta tell him, "Rest in peace", bet you thought I'd die alone
It don't make sense to me but I keep my head up high alone
You ain't even there for me, but now, you're scared to be alone
[Outro]
Alone
But now, you're scared to be alone
