[Hook: Malia Carter] I want you in my life I need you by my side You're letting time pa** by Let's not pretend (x1) [Verse 1: Brandon Carter ] Blood runnin' like I got hypertension Excuse me, hey, I forgot to mention: There's all this tension between us, I'm sensing?! I just hope you take me as an exception Heart starts poundin' louder than an engine Sorry, but I got a question: Have I shown affection? Have I learned my lesson? Have I drawn you into the other direction? Yes, it's in my intentions Love is nothing to mess with You are my natural selection I treat you like you're a blessing Girls like you are harder to find Every time that I sleep, I start losing my mind Everyday I talk to you, I just make up a lie I know this ain't much, but I like you a lot There's a bridge that's in between us You're the inspiration that gets me across Yes, You & I are nothing alike Thing about me, I gotta nothing to hide It takes more words than one just to describe You have all the more reason to look at me and deny But without you I cannot survive Please don't take away my spirit, and keep me alive If you go away, I have every right to deprive I wait everyday, it shows you never reply I'm just wonderin' will it ever arrive? I'm just wonderin' if there's another way to decide? I'm just wonderin' if you'll start changing your mind? Cause I can only move forward there's no space to rewind [Hook] I want you in my life I need you by my side You're letting time pa** by Let's not pretend (x4) [Verse 2: Brandon Carter] I don't really know you Let's be honest, I praise everyone who told you, that I liked you But people don't know what I go through It's wedged in my chest cause I'm only human It's hard to know what your thinking I know I messed up, but let's face it I might sound dumb, but yeah we faded This life's chapter is kind of overrated I take back all the choices that I made and, I pray on the problems I've created Whether you like me or not, my loyalty stays here I've written a whole 'nother story, I'm not lettin' one page tare You don't know what you got until it's gone If our hearts won't attach, then I hope that you stay strong Stay dear to my heart cause friendships are never gone I don't know if you might care But if you need me, I'll be right here You & I, apparently are forsaken Can we keep a friendship and what makes it? There's a gap in me and I'm vacant What's missing; so complacent? I'm sitting here still waiting Have I gained your trust, or am I forever gon' be hated?! [Hook] I want you in my life I need you by my side You're letting time pa** by Let's not pretend (x2) [Verse 3: Brandon Carter] So this is it, friendships don't last long You doing it to me, I'm on the injured list Add to my to pain with my cast on! Taking it as my fate, this is my last song Cause it's hard to comeback from rejection taking it as, I'm the dude you'll always pa** on I made mistakes, and my past's wrong I'm tryna go back to the days when You & I, were on the same page Life isn't scripted, so the future can always change "You can do anything or get anything" - they always say I'm taking my chances, I just got to wage I'm rushing for the end, but this is not a race I thought this tension would end, and this is not the case I'd be there if you fall, I'd make sure you're okay I'd catch you above all, you aren't time I waste I know what this is about and I got it Keep this on the low-key; you're more than awesome (Christina, you ready?!) Man awe' man, just hear me please! Everyone can see I come in peace One time, just once, should you agree?! Set the law with a gavel in which you weave You're thinking this boy is an odd one I'll guarantee what I promise Cause to get through to you, to being friends I'll to start over, with no option [Outro] Don't let me go, don't let me go Don't let me go (×2) Things need to change All I ask, is change All it takes, is change
