⸻

Yeah…

mm… (mm-mm)

Don’t know what it is with me… (no…)

I try though… I really do… (I do…)

⸻

You say you love me, I just stare (just stare…)

Try to feel it, it ain’t there (ain’t there…)

Heart cold but I still care (I care…)

That’s the part that ain’t fair (nah…)

I be smiling, I be there (yeah…)

But inside it’s like I’m bare (so empty…)

You give me love, I’m aware (I know…)

But I can’t return the share… (I can’t…)

⸻

It ain’t you, don’t take it personal (no, no…)

Something in me just don’t work no more (it don’t…)

I receive it, yeah I do (I do…)

But giving back? I got no clue… (no clue…)

⸻

I can’t feel love, personally (nah…)

Mentally it don’t hit me (it don’t…)

You can love me, I receive (I do…)

But I can’t give what you need… (I can’t…)

I try, I try, it don’t come out right (no…)

Say the words but they don’t feel right (feel right…)

You deserve more, I know that’s real (I know…)

But I can’t give what I don’t feel… (I don’t…)

⸻

I be wishing I was different (different…)

Wishing I could feel the distance (yeah…)

Between my heart and my mind (my mind…)

Something missing every time (every time…)

You be looking for a spark (spark…)

I be stuck here in the dark (so dark…)

Got emotions but they locked (locked up…)

Like my heart got a guard… (yeah…)

⸻

Look—

I ain’t heartless, I just numb (just numb…)

Been through too much, now I’m done (I’m done…)

Feelings muted, stuck on one (on one…)

Every time I try, I run (I run…)

You want love, I want it too (I do…)

But it don’t move the way it do for you (nah…)

I be there but I ain’t there for real (for real…)

How I’m ‘posed to give what I don’t feel? (how?)

⸻

I can’t feel love, personally (no…)

Mentally it don’t hit me (it don’t…)

You can love me, I receive (I do…)

But I can’t give what you need… (I can’t…)

I try, I try, it don’t come out right (no…)

Say the words but they don’t feel right (feel right…)

You deserve more, I know that’s real (I know…)

But I can’t give what I don’t feel… (I don’t…)

⸻

I’m sorry… (I am…)

Wish I could love you the way you love me… (I wish…)

But something in me just… gone… (gone…)

mm… yeah… (yeah…)
