Keep Me Around

[Verse 1]

Gaspin' for air, thoughts comin’ 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"
