about

The song takes us on a journey of chasing an emotionally unavailable lover and the transmutation of its subsequent pain, into power. It explores the awakening of self worth through self abandonment and inspires listeners to reflect on their relationship attachments.

lyrics

I been slacking on my meditating waiting out on you
I been cultivating patience on the things you might do
I’m stuck on you boy
Even though our times done
Even though you mentioned
you’re not down for me

Don’t hold back on me it's late
Why you still here making me wait
Look me in my eyes explain
Why can’t you say that I’ll be safe with you

Eye on the time I’ve been so down on this
Been wondering why I try and take the risk with you
I’m praying for peaceful days yeah
I’m embracing the change in season
I can’t go through it again
I better call it the end

Two times, fooled me once I can’t lie
Stuck with you and tried
To put my needs aside
I’m tired
Why am I begging you to stay
When nothing ever seems to change with you
I got better things to do
So give me the truth

Don’t hold back on me it's late
Why you still here making me wait
Look me in my eyes explain
Why can’t you say that I’ll be safe with you

Tell myself that I’ll get back up
Trying not to be hard on myself
I wish you well on your path
And I hope that you learn from the past
Now I know
It's time for me to let you go

Don’t hold back on me it's late
Why you still here making me wait
Look me in my eyes explain
Why can’t you say that I’ll be
Don't you hold back on me
