keep it alive

Why should I be tripping?
If I’m single I’m still looking
I’m still choosing
I met someone new through the absence of you
When I got off stage that night
First thing that he noticed was my style and steeze
Could tell when he looked at me
You know what I want from you
You know what you need to do
If you ain’t pulling though
I know who ill call on to
(know how I feel for you, thought that you could be mine)
(running, running, running from your side)
If you keep it alive
Yeah, Gonna be whatever you saying
I mean I wanna be
You fear that I’m playing
I mean I shouldn’t be
Just put me out of misery
And tell me you believe in it
We believe in it, why shouldn’t we?
I’ve seen men turn into them n***** I don’t wanna be
Another n**** on your resume I couldn’t be
It’s a hundred of them, only one of me
I’m staring at a lot right in front of me
Just give me a chance, I said I wanna be
I mean I’m gonna be
Damn babe, for real, you had enough of me?
Through all of it, never tried for you?
I wouldn’t do it if I could honestly
Remember the n**** you fell in love with?
Cuz he missing in a situation
I don’t want to hesitate to never play the game
I don’t wanna lie
N**** never made. claim I would get inside
Told me he was just a friend but it never died
Told me I was digging hoes I could fit inside
I just couldn’t get ahold of what I feel inside
Now I’m bout to be alone, baby who am I?
Another n**** on your list but I really tried
I know I shouldn’t cry
Through all of that effort I put four or five
Only considered your heart one time
Kill myself with jealous, it’s envy see, remember me
Or maybe we were just both right
The deeper we get, I got more shy
About what I’m saying because I won’t fight
Im writing this letter because I feel like
The end is close enough to me to you to us, nothing
If you keep it alive
Keep it alive, keep it alive
If you keep it alive
Keep it alive, keep it alive
Can you keep it alive?
If you keep it alive
(running, running, running from your side)
