[Verse 1: Khai Zhen]
It’s funny that it’s obvious
Maybe I don’t say this enough
Girl all I want is your kiss
Hoping I’m not shutting you out
[Pre-Chorus: Khai Zhen]
Cause baby you’re so comfortable
I'm not trying to mess this up
Are you still open to my heart
[Chorus: Khai Zhen]
I know I deserve this
I know it isn’t worth it
I don’t wanna go off
Tried my best to move on
Running round in circles
Got me sipping purple
I know I can’t be perfect
I don’t deserve your love
I don’t deserve this love
I don’t deserve it
I don’t deserve this love
I don’t deserve your love
[Verse 2: yowha]
Sometimes I just feel lеss
Even though I didn’t say this too much
There’s too much in my hеad
I didn’t even know where to start
And I’m so emotional
Sometimes I can’t speak my heart out
Are you still down to keep this up?
Oh I’m sorry for overthinking again
We give this love another chance
I know we’re grown now, I know we can (you know we can, right?)
And I know if I take the chance
To love somebody I need to be ready for what's coming next
Baby I ain't healed but
Don't let me go
[Pre-Chorus: Khai Zhen, yowha]
Cause baby you’re so comfortable
I'm not trying to mess this up (mess this up)
Are you still open to my heart (open to my heart)
[Chorus: Khai Zhen, yowha]
I know I deserve this
I know it isn’t worth it
I don’t wanna go off
Tried my best to move on
Running round in circles
Got me sipping purple
I know I can’t be perfect
I don’t deserve your love
I don’t deserve this love
I don’t deserve it
I don’t deserve this love
I don’t deserve your love
