Recognize

Do you recognize me through your half cut eyes

When I'm just a stranger in your apartment?

Do you recognize me when the daylight burns

Just like a knee-slide on your carpet?

Could I still be cool when your texts won't send?

When I'm jaded, wasted, but on the mend

I'll be cool, nothing to lose

But I still care for you (Yeah)

Okay, he's gotten her a lot

But, she can tell he doesn't get it (Mm-mm-hmm)

Trips and gifts, but she just wants him to be present (Mm-hmm)

Acceptin' it 'cause she just tryna keep the peace (Mm-hmm)

But she disrespects herself

The more she lets it be beneath her standards

She's lookin' for answers (Mm-mm-hmm)

Different love languages, he don't understand her (Mm-hmm)

Emotional negligence, she lives in his residence (Mm-hmm)

She don't wanna be maintained, she wants to be connected with (Fuck)

Hard to take it day by day

'cause really she's been here for months (Mm-mm-hmm)

Know his life's a blur

But once just focus just on her for once (Mm-hmm)

He makes her feel like she's not interestin'

She's talkin', he's not there (Mm-hmm)

Now she's missin' him and how it used to be back when he cared

She know exactly how she wanna feel (Mm-mm-hmm)

She know exactly that this ain't that (Mm-hmm)

She feels like a ghost and she wanna feel real (Mm-hmm)

But she lookin' at him and he won't look back, oh

Do you recognize me through your half cut eyes

When I'm just a stranger in your apartment?

Do you recognize me when the daylight burns

Just like a knee-slide on your carpet?

Could I still be cool when your texts won't send?

When I'm jaded, wasted, but on the mend

I'll be cool, nothing to lose

But I still care for you

He got his needs too

He needs to feel seen to (Mm-mm-hmm)

If he don't get gassed up

He starts losin' steam too (Mm-hmm)

Physically rejected, every day, he feels unwanted (Yeah, mm-hmm)

He don't even try no more

It adds up, he's exhausted

From lovers to roommates

Startin' to lose faith (Mm-mm-hmm)

Wonderin' if he should leave

He already lives out a suitcase (Mm-hmm)

Physical negligence, he lives in his residence (Mm-hmm)

He don't want a thank you card

He just wants her to have sex with him, for real

Hard to take it day by day

'cause really it's been this for month (Mm-mm-hmm)

Knows it's hard for her

But wants her to approach him just for once (Mm-hmm)

She makes him feel like

He's not worthy of affection and it hurts (Mm-hmm)

Now he's contemplatin' leavin', but he never leave her first

He knows exactly how he wanna feel (Mm-mm-hmm)

He knows exactly that this ain't that (Mm-hmm)

He feels like a ghost to her, he wanna feel real (Mm-hmm)

But he's lookin' at her and she won't look back, oh

Do you recognize me? (Oh)

(Oh, yeah, yeah)

We can't keep playin' chicken with each other's needs

Halfway between fear of mind is where we gotta meet

I don't know what it's gonna take for us to see

We're mirrors for each other's blind spots

Yeah, yeah, yeah

We might be patient but time's not

It's on me, no, it's on you, no, it's on us

We know what we gotta do

Oh (Mm-mm-hmm)

Yeah, yeah (Mm-hmm)

(Mm-mm-hmm)

(Mm-hmm)
