lyrics:

Boo, I need you around
The pressure's getting way too heavy now
And you should know that I'm not ready, no
Not good at being alone
I know you know that I am empty now
Getting to sleep so very rarely now

We on different paths, I've known that for some time
Girl, this shit's so sad and it's like every night
This home just ain't a home
I know you broke my heart so gently
How does missing you just feel unhealthy now?

I could be chillin' with a girl who inspires inner brilliance
Now she's off on her own in the distance
I can't hit her on the phone for assistance
Though I've been wishing this could be different
I ain't got time to be ignant
But I can't cut you off like Vincent
So, I try my best to keep distant
Fight off the system that makes me the victim, uh

It's like a fall of a kingdom
Held it up but it's now just a prison
I can't leave my house without missing
All of our visions, this is a sickness
Or am I just a witness?
Or could I put an end to this business?
Tie my shoes and walk out of this stillness
Ain't got the fitness, no

I don't need a lot, I just want the best now
This been at my neck now, I've been feeling low
Hate the way it's gone, my life's such a mess now
Can't deal with the stress now, I've been feeling

Boo, I need you around
The pressure's getting way too heavy now
And you should know that I'm not ready, no
Not good at being alone
I know you know that I am empty now
Getting to sleep so very rarely now

We on different paths, I've known that for some time
Girl, this shit's so sad and it's like every night
This home just ain't a home
I know you broke my heart so gently
How does missing you just feel unhealthy now?

Bottling up all of my own soul, getting over it, I don't know
I'ma be straight, this ain't been great
It feels like I'm dying, but it's so slow
Waking me up with that "Morning boo"
Thinkin' 'bout that and I feel so blue
Maybe I'll wait and it will be fate
Or am I just sitting in my own tomb?

This ain't my life, and it's not right
I'm thinkin' 'bout you all of my night
I wanna catch flights, but I don't like
The fear to fall or what that ignites
You were my type, not one of my stripes
I think of you and I get good vibes
At least before you went of out of sight, yeah

I don't need a lot, I just want the best now
This been at my neck now, I've been feeling low
Hate the way it's gone, my life's such a mess now
Can't deal with the stress now, I've been feeling low

I don't need a lot, I just want the best now
This been at my neck now, I've been feeling low
Hate the way it's gone, my life's such a mess now
Can't deal with the stress now, I've been feeling

Boo, I need you around
The pressure's getting way too heavy now
And you should know that I'm not ready, no
Not good at being alone
I know you know that I am empty now
Getting to sleep so very rarely now

We on different paths, I've known that for some time
Girl, this shit's so sad and it's like every night
This home just ain't a home
I know you broke my heart so gently
How does missing you just feel unhealthy now?
