"What You're Not" lyrics
"What You're Not"
I'm waiting for silence
While watching your call
I'm trying to not pick up the phone
'Cause you'd say I'm a liar
And you wouldn't be wrong
But forgive me for tryna play along
'Cause we break down together
We make out together
We fake out our problems
And make ones that never escape our endeavours
Know you could do better than me
But you don't want nothing to do with someone who makes you smile
And you don't want nothing to say to someone who hears your cries
No, you don't try making amends with someone who makes you feel alive
'Cause they're someone who always reminds you what you're not
We're a perfect distraction
From what's in our heads
Reminders of paths we didn't tread
'Cause anything is better than admitting that we're better alone
When you'd rather be dead
Than be living on your own
But you don't want nothing to do with someone who makes you smile
And you don't want nothing to say to someone who hears your cries
No, you don't try making amends with someone who makes you feel alive
'Cause they're someone who always reminds you
'Cause we break down together
We make out together
We fake out our problems
And make ones that never escape our endeavours
I know you'll do better than me
But for now, we'll take what we get
And we'll work through regret
And we'll plan for a future we pro'ly won't get
We fake love for now
But I know you'll do better than me
'Cause you won't want nothing to do with someone who makes you cry
And you won't have something to say with someone who needs more time
No, you'll go start making amends with someone who makes you feel alive
'Cause they're someone who's gonna remind you what you're not
What you're not
'Cause anything is better than admitting that we're better alone
But there's someone who's gonna remind you what I'm not

Suriel Hess - "late nights and lonely" Drive too fast on the freeway
Singing love songs alone in my car
Windows down for the feeling
Just to end up at home in the dark
All alone, treat myself like I can't break
So far gone, just to see...
JVKE - "moon and back" Baby I love you to the moon & back
Stars, talkin' like Mufasa
Know you got some Scars, but I promise that I gotcha
Stars singing like Sinatra
'Fly me to the moon' there Ain't nothin that can stop...
keshi - "Like That" (Top down whippin in the 02, 02
Top down whipping in the- top down)
Where you at
Baby on the low
I been thinking I don't wanna take it slow
Never keep you waiting on me
Six speed racing just to see...
sundial - "24" I'm twenty-four now, still at my parents' house
Thought I would have it figured out
Friends getting married, one has a baby
I barely recognize this town
Mama asked me what my plan is for the future...
Knox - "Invisible (Remix)" Call it divine intervention
The way you're readin' my mind
Feel like I've known you forever
Even though I just met you tonight
People in every direction
Nothin' but small talk in here
Tryin' to steal...
