[Chorus]
She said...
I think you're holding me back
I feel your energy's low
I think you're holding me up
Maybe we should let this go
I think I'm holding you back
I know my energy's low
Feels like I'm holding you up
But please don't leave me alone
[Verse 1]
I ain't fell out of love in a minute
Her name tatted on my neck, I can feel it, fuck
Heart been cold, yeah I'm a villain
Uh, I tried to love you like you love me and it killed you
Tried to be honest, when I lie it don't make sense
Really a dog, I got my paws on a fake bitch
I get a call from my girl, man I hate this
And I don't even know how to explain shit
[Pre-Chorus 1]
You say I'm wrong and I know
I play the fool, but I know
I play to win, but I lose
Want you to stay, but I go
[Chorus]
I think you're holding me back
I feel your energy's low
I think you're holding me up
Maybe we should let this go
I think I'm holding you back
I know my energy's low
Feels like I'm holding you up
But please don't leave me alone
[Verse 2]
I should be sponsored by plan B
If plan A don't work, you can hate me
Lately we been playin' tug-of-war a lot
Don't want a woman, want a puppet, I manipulate
And I know you need the same, cause you too strong
We try to play, took this game for too long
And I gave you signs that I'm no good
But yet I'm wrong if I move on
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I stayed too long and I know
I pulled you in and I know
Thought I would change, but I won't
I'm your favorite enemy
[Chorus]
She said...
I think you're holding me back
I feel your energy's low
I think you're holding me up
Maybe we should let this go
I think I'm holding you back
I know my energy's low
Feels like I'm holding you up
But please don't leave me alone
