The fourth track on Soul Searching, Bazzi’s first mixtape. This marks the debut collaboration between Bazzi and American singer/rapper, 6LACK. On the track, they both talk about struggling to maintain a relationship with their significant other and how it has affected them.
[Chorus: Bazzi]
I been hoping, I been praying
Someone else could feel this pain and
Save me from the fear, it linger
Only has me falling quicker
Look me in my eye, tell me that we fine (Ah, ah)
'Cause right now I feel like I'm stuck up in the fire (Ah, ah)
Fading slowly, falling faster (Yeah, yeah)
Falling faster (Yeah, yeah)
[Verse 1: Bazzi]
Three days out the week, I don't even sleep
Thoughts runnin' so deep, take control of me
Crashin' in at once, don't know what it's from
Breakin' me to crumbs, I'm tryin' to run
All these drugs takin' all control of me, ooh
Fuckin' with my energy, ooh
Pullin' and it's holdin' me, ooh
Alternate reality, reality
[Chorus: Bazzi]
I been hoping, I been praying
Someone else could feel this pain and
Save me from the fear, it linger
Only has me falling quicker
Look me in my eye, tell me that we fine (Ah, ah)
'Cause right now I feel like I'm stuck up in the fire (Ah, ah)
Fading slowly, falling faster
Falling faster
[Verse 2: 6LACK]
I can't even eat, I might need some tree
Insecurity got a hold of me
Yeah, I been feelin' down, guess I'll smoke a blunt
Look up to the sky, pray for what I want
But I know that I gotta get back to me (Ayy)
Recenter and actually (Yeah)
Catch myself midair (Yeah), then start to floatin' up ('In up)
Sometimes I hate my choices, but I can't hold no grudge (Yeah)
[Chorus: Bazzi]
I been hoping, I been praying
Someone else could feel this pain and
Save me from the fear, it linger
Only has me falling quicker
Look me in my eye, tell me that we fine (Ah, ah)
'Cause right now I feel like I'm stuck up in the fire (Ah, ah)
Fading slowly, falling faster
Falling faster

In an interview with Billboard, Bazzi claimed that the track is his favourite from the mixtape as he does not know of any record like it:
6lack did his thing and really brought a special energy to that verse, and I think what I’m talking about in the song is really important. Some heartbreak music...
