Lyrics

Keep

[Verse 1]

Oohh yeahh

I clutch my chest and shoulder breath

And it feels like I’m suffocating

Suffocating suffocating

I lay in bed playing it  over in my head

How I made it so complicated

Complicated complicated

And it really really hurts to know

That you ain’t talking to me anymore

And I’m trying my best to close that door

But everytime I try my heart ignore

[Chorus]

You didn’t wanna say I do

But I bought that ring for you

You keep that

Ooohhh keep it baby

On a heal will the perfect you

Will enough space for a kid or two

You keep it (oohh)

Now the only time we talk anymore

Is when i fall asleep

It’s true you really care not at all

That beautiful things we lose and some wish

Just wanna keep you just wanna keep you

Closer to me

[Verse 2]

How did we become distant lovers

I was better when were one

Now we couldn’t be fine back

You’re the only one

You’re the only one

You’re the only one

Found me poor if I become

Forever become

Forever become

Without you girl

And it feeling any hurt to know

That you ain’t nothing with me no more

And I tried my best to close that door

This stubborn heart of mine

Seems to [?] me

[Chorus]

You didn’t wanna say I do

But I bought that ring for you

You keep that..you you keep it

Ooohhh

On a heal will the perfect you

Will enough space for a kid or two

You keep it got your name

Got your name on it baby

Oohhh

Now the only time we talk anymore

Is when i fall asleep

It’s true you really care not at all

That beautiful things we lose and some wish

Just wanna keep you just wanna keep you

Closer to me

[Bridge]

Keep wishing I can hold you

Keep wishing I can kiss you too

Keep wishing beloved you and me

You’re not right here girl everyday’s

Like dejavu

I can’t get away from you

I keep trying

Just keep trying

[Chorus]

You didn’t wanna say I do

But I bought that ring for you

You you keep it

Ooohhh

On a heal will the perfect you

Will enough space for a kid or two

You keep it got your name

Got your name on it baby

Oohhh

Now the only time we talk anymore

Is when i fall asleep

It’s true you really care not at all

Beautiful things we lose and some wish

Just wanna keep you just wanna keep you

Closer to me

Just wanna keep you just wanna keep you

Closer to me

Yeah
