Keep Me Around

[Verse 1]
Gasping for air, thoughts coming in
Can't get ’em out, gun to my head
Barely see what I been up against
I don't know love, I just want a friend
Waiting on that K.O. in a slump again
Each June laying low 'til the summer end
Used to chase rainbows for the fun of it
Takes two to tango the devil was tryna move
But my gaze was across the room
And you waved for me to walk towards you
Tried not to be hard to talk to
I hoped I came off right
You were charming you disarmed me ’fore I ever had a clue
And your words were touching to the point that our hands followed suit

[Chorus]
Have I put myself through enough hell for now?
Know it hurts me bad to tеll you why I'm down
I can't figure out why you keep me around
When I'm causing you troublе
Have I put myself through enough hell for now?
Know it hurts me bad to tell you why I'm down
I can't figure out why you keep me around
When I'm causing you trouble

[Verse 2]
Nowadays the hours pass in a second
Short-circuit from your presence taking over my senses
Way too nervous when you inching closer on the park bench
Attempt to tell you that you're wonderful, can’t finish the sentence
Figure out how to love you
Confront my shortcomings
’Cause when I let you down there's a pit in my stomach
Don’t know what could go wrong I just know I'ma worry
Can't help but say sorry like I just learned what the word means

[Chorus]
Have I put myself through enough hell for now?
Know it hurts me bad to tell you why I'm down
I can’t figure out why you keep me around
When I'm causing you trouble
Have I put myself through enough hell for now?
Know it hurts me bad to tell you why I'm down
I can't figure out why you keep me around
When I'm causing you trouble

[Outro]
Yes, we don't do it but that's- that's how people are wired
And it takes a lot to be able to say
"Okay, this person is somebody that I don't need to have in my life"
