Lyrics

Chorus:
I’m not tryna run away, I just feel we need some space.
Keeping my distance when I feel I may hurt you,
I am not the villain when my energy don’t serve you.
I ain’t tryna runaway from my feelings,
But I know when I stick with them, then it’s hard to forget them,
I ain’t tryna runaway, I just gotta keep my distance for a minute,
I just hope that you get it. There’s no hard feelings.
Verse:
I know I got a lot to work on, hard for me to be on the phone,
I been tryna work on my craft, I ain’t tryna leave you alone.
I just wanna paint a bigger picture, but I see me and you fading,
It’s been too many years, and I know you won’t keep waiting.
Always admired your patience. Why do are bond keep breaking,
Maybe I could be the problem, or it could just be us,
Hate when we argue, I can see that we losing trust.
Truthfully, is hard to believe that our future can’t hold us.
What do we do?
When we see our lives in different views, in two different shoes,
I’m in school, she got a job tryna find her way, got a god giving tool,
Seen each other grow into somebody new.
Looking for the signs, looking for the cue, what we gonna do?
I don’t have a clue, but I know that it’s true that I love you, and I want the best for you,
I’ll space myself away if I can’t give my all to you.
May not be the best for you,
May not be the ideal guy,
But I know that I try, Ian tryna break that tie.
Chorus:
I’m not tryna run away, I just feel we need some space.
Keeping my distance when I feel I may hurt you,
I am not the villain when my energy don’t serve you.
I ain’t tryna runaway from my feelings,
But I know when I stick with them, then it’s hard to forget them,
I ain’t tryna runaway, I just gotta keep my distance for a minute,
I just hope that you get it. There’s no hard feelings.
Verse 2:
Forgiveness, Essential
Take the door off the hinges,
It could all be so simple.
Integrity and realness.
What you see in your mental?
What you feel in your mental?
What you hear in your mental?
Get it off your temple.
Growing up, I was taught to put my emotions in a grave.
Also keep my pride in a safe place,
Every single thing you ain’t gotta chase.
Love comes along with the hate, gotta take both if you wanna be great,
Shake the world being you everyday. Naturalness let it all fall in place.
Unconditional love
Soft love even when it gets tough.
You are enough, never feel otherwise. Far cry but I’m here by your side.
Into you I confide these thoughts. Glide over skies, till the sunrise, through the storms I fought.
Made it come to a halt.
Left it all in the vault,
I don’t always hear the voices, gotta let the music talk.
Life is about choices and look what it all brought, look what it all brought.
Look what it all brought to us
Chorus:
I’m not tryna run away, I just feel we need some space.
Keeping my distance when I feel I may hurt you,
I am not the villain when my energy don’t serve you.
I ain’t tryna runaway from my feelings,
But I know when I stick with them, then it’s hard to forget them,
I ain’t tryna runaway, I just gotta keep my distance for a minute,
I just hope that you get it. There’s no hard feelings.
