[Verse 1]
Cameras on and I see the faces changin'
I wanna run, I wanna run
Cameras on, now I'm friends with every stranger
I wanna run, I wanna run
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, I've seen it in my past
Yeah, that fake love, it don't last
And I know what it will do to me (I know)
When I think they want me well
They tryna make me someone else
And I know what they will do to me (I know)
[Chorus]
But never with you, ooh
You love me for me
When I'm with you, ooh
I wanna, I wanna leave
Never with you, ooh
You love me for me
When I'm with you, ooh
[Verse 2]
Cameras off, everybody goes their own way
Yeah, one by one, yeah, one by one
Lights not on and nobody's got the patience
Oh, uh
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, I've seen it in my past
Yeah, that fake love, it don't last
And I know what it will do to me (I know)
When I think they want me well
They tryna make me someone else
And I know what they will do to me (I know)
[Chorus]
But never with you, ooh
You love me for me
When I'm with you, ooh
I wanna, I wanna leave
Never with you, ooh
You love me for me
When I'm with you, ooh
[Post-Chorus]
Never with you, ooh-oh-ah-oh-oh
When I'm with you, ooh-oh-ah-oh-woah
[Bridge]
Cameras on and I see the faces changin'
(See the faces changin', whoa)
Lights not on and nobody's got the patience
Ooh-ooh-ooh
[Chorus]
But never with you, ooh
You love me for me
When I'm with you, ooh
I wanna, I wanna leave
Never with you, ooh
You love me for me
When I'm with you, ooh
[Outro]
Never with you
Never with you

I talk about when I needed to post every single day. I realized, every time the camera was on, everyone’s mood changed. It kind of messed with me a little bit. No one would be talking to each other, and then all of a sudden, the camera comes on, everyone’s best friends. And for me, that was so weird...
