Closer to Me

Ooh
Mmm-mmm
Mmm
Been inconsistent for a minute
Just listen for a moment
Lay here, don't leave me (Leave me)
Oh, I was hoping we could be closer
Just hold me when it's shaky
Say you still need me, yeah (Uh, yeah)
Sometimes I feel like you don't tell me you fuck with me enough (Oh)
'Cause the whole time, you were giving away what should have been my love (Yeah, my love)
Always in lust
I can't worry and trust you, baby
I invested too much
I've been healing, don't rush it, babe
Can we make up
For all the times we weren't touching, baby?
I'll stop bringing it up
Hoping we could be better for us
Us
Come closer to me, babe (Closer to me, babe)
(Yeah, uh)
When I'm triggered, getting rid of all the bitterness and issues
You don't believe me (Believe me, yeah)
Ain't your responsibility to make me happy
But you damn sure don't make it easy (Easy on me)
Sometimes you feel like ain't no room for mistakes, but I don't judge (I don't judge you, baby)
I just need to know that it's always been different with us (Us, us)
Always in lust
I can't worry and trust you, baby
I invested too much
I've been healing, don't rush it, babe
Can we make up
For all the times we weren't touching, baby?
I'll stop bringing it up
Hoping we could be better for us
Us
Come closer to me, babe (Closer to me, baby)
(Yeah, uh)
I'll stop bringing it up
If you love me, if you're in love
Oh, I deserve that, I wanna love
Yeah, I deserve that, that kinda love
I know things get better with time
It don't matter if we don't stop drawing the line
I just need you to come closer to me, babe (Babe)
Yeah, closer to me, babe, yeah
Feel you touch me, oh, [?], oh
Hey
Oh-oh
