Lyrics

The Surface

[Verse 1]

Check your phone

Three in the morning, I know you all alone

I know you've got your reasons to keep your heart in stone

In what world do you love me? (Uh)

So many times I've said, "I'm sorry", you gotta move on

That's what you said to me (That's what you said to me)

But do you mean it? (But do you mean it?)

You said you'd never leave (You said you'd never leave)

Should've seen this from the start (Oh-oh)

You called me but don't wanna start over

[Chorus]

'Cause you know I been right here

Baby, yeah, you know I been right here

You acting like you perfect

It's way more under the surface (Mm)

[Verse 2]

Footsteps at my door

Hoping that it's you that's at my porch

In my mind we're all over each other (Oh)

And when the sun comes up, you're still my lover (Oh)

And when it's all said and done I tried for you (Mm, you, you)

Even if I had to lie for you (You, you)

And even if I had to cry for you (Yeah)

You know I'd die for you, I'd die

[Chorus]

'Cause you know I been right here

Baby, yeah, you know I been right here

You acting like you perfect

It's way more under the surface (Mm)
