Energy

How can you say "I don't love you" oh
When all I do is come back? Oh-oh
How can you say "I don't love you" oh
When all I do is come back? Oh-oh

You don't appreciate me
Confused and messy
Insecure and too proud to address it
So you treat me like the enemy
Don't stress me, don't undress me

Messy girl, we're so messy
We go way too deep, don't you see?
Every other girl, they don't have me
You're more than my girl, you're like family

So keep that same energy, babe
Keep that same energy
Keep that same energy
Unless you want me to leave

'Cause girls don't look at me the same
They only see fame, I need the real thing
I need you to recognize your place

It's funny 'cause you're always so defensive by attacking me
I'm so easy, but you bring out the ugliest side of me
Even your friends see it now, they're on the same side as me
Somehow I used to find my way to side you

How can you say "I don't love you" (how? How?) Oh
When all I do is come back? Oh-oh
How can you say "I don't love you" oh
When all I do is come back? Oh-oh

You say I know I ask too much
But you can't say it's not my business
We've gone separate ways
But now who do you lay in bed with?
Like I don't have the right to move on and forget us
Like you haven't been driving around in a fucking Lexus
That I know ain't yours

I know it's hard 'cause to everyone you're Carla's ex
But it'll be harder for whoever you choose next
Save ourselves the stress of it being average at best
And ending it by saying that it's you and not them
'Cause we know the truth is that it's me over them

Say it with your chest
I see them as pit stops your homegirls
Say their progress
Who thought being depressed
Would make you look your best
Oh, I still want you so

Keep that same energy, babe
Keep that same energy
Keep that same energy
Unless you want me to leave

'Cause girls don't look at me the same
They only see the fame
I need the real thing
I need you to recognize your place, oh-oh
