Here come the rising tide (rising tide) (You can't escape) The streets of persuasion Are plated with gold Your heart's in the right place, But you travel down the wrong road Like so many before you The gates open wide Let's go out tonight

Sitting here, patching myself up Crying over what's left, 'cause Without you I ain't shit, but no pressure Guess I gotta learn my lesson I know that I've been swerving on this course Can't find me somewhere writin' when I'm wrong Girl, I'm just tryna see

I love to love ya baby I need a crunk tight nigga Makes seven figgas Laced with a platinum Not the silver shit nigga X to L stigga Now don't get me wrong cause I'm not a ho But I know what I got you can't handle though

Introspection, termination Can't tell right from wrong Fed up with this whole system It's gone on far too long You tell a thousand lies been told a thousand times Your words we hear but we cannot sympathize Thousand lies been told a thousand times Hard

But I can't find the words to tell you I don't wanna be alone, But now I feel like I don't know you Please don't get me wrong Because I'll never let this go, Maybe if my heart stops Beating it won't hurt this much And never will I have to Answer again to

And you keep talking but we both know it's not true. And no matter what we both had to go through, I just can't, I can't hold on. I still know (I still know) That you're wrong (you're wrong). And when you asked if I believed, and I told you, But I can't

How long can this go on Tell me what is wrong And maybe there's a way That we can work it out There must be some kind of way That we can make it right But I, I just can't do it all Without you, without you Hey you, wake up, get yourself together

So wait up, wait up Give me one more chance To make up, make up I just need one last dance Na na na na oh-oh Tear drops in your hazel eyes I can't believe I made you cry It feels so long since we went wrong But you're still on my mind

Everything was wrong You were still around How many times must I tell you Tired of you and everything you stand for I thought we'd reached an agreement But when I woke up this mornin' Why can't you show some feelin'? Why can't you understand? Messed up

Will you sing us a song And we'll sing it back to you We could sing our own But what would it be without you I am finding out that maybe I was wrong That I've fallen down and I can't do this alone Stay with me This is what I need please I am nothing now
