Avenue

I've been tired of losing sleep
I've been tryna find my peace
I thought I was on your surface until I got in too deep
And you know I've been at your service every time you needed me
But it ain't right to spend the night without your body next to me

I can't get a hold of you
I've been looking for a way to let you go
'Cause I'm not the same man that I was before
But tonight I think that you should let me know

I can't get a hold of you
I've been looking for a way to let you go
'Cause I'm not the same man that I was before
But tonight I think that you should let me know

Can I hold you?
Even if it's for the last time I ever do
'Cause your love's the only one that I ever knew
So I'll drive all the way back to your avenue
All I ask from you is, can I hold you?
Even if it's for the last time I ever do
'Cause your love's the only one that I ever knew
So I'll drive all the way back to your avenue, your avenue

So how about we pick up where we left off?
Heard you got a new man and you ran off
But you couldn't give a damn, my heart was in your hands
I guess you'd understand why I went off
Sipping Henny just to help me get the edge off
Showing up at your door, like a stand-off
Drunk dials, got me telling you to get lost
And how I truly hope you're happy with your next love
How you made a mess of

Mess of me, what's left of me
It's fucked up that I only gave the best of me
The only girl in the world with access to me
Treat me like I'm nothing but accessory
You a necessity, I want you desperately
Although I know you only gon' end up depressing me
Want you caressing me, and undressing me
Tell me you love me, even if it it's just to mess with me

I've been tryna get my head 'round the fact you gone
I get high, sip strong 'till the break of dawn
I've been lying to my friends, say, "I'm moving on"
Then go cry in my bed, maybe write a song

I know it's ages ago
But I just can't let you go
So for one more time, I just wanna know

Can I hold you?
Even if it's for the last time I ever do
'Cause your love's the only one that I ever knew
So I'll drive all the way back to your avenue
All I ask from you is, can I hold you?
Even if it's for the last time I ever do
'Cause your love's the only one that I ever knew
So I'll drive all the way back to your avenue, your avenue

I don't wanna hear your regrets or apologies
I just want you to hold on to me
Without your love, it's so hard to breathe
It's getting hard to breathe
And I hope that you see that you've got me right where you wanted me
You've broken your promise, but honestly
I don't want your love, I just want my peace

Let me die in your arms
Let me die
Let me die in your arms
Let me die
Let me die
Let me die
Let me die in your arms
Let me die
