killing me

Jorja Smith

What has your heart been like?
You used to spend weeks on my mind
But it s been seven months of these lies
You know it hasn t felt right

I need to be loved by myself
Before I ll love someone else
And that s not you
That s not you anymore

I m just tryna live with myself
And you have to do that as well
My heart aches to see you like this
Pretending it s me that you ll miss
You need to be loved by yourself
It s okay to ask for help
But not from me
Not from me anymore, oh, oh

I need to be loved by myself
It s okay to ask for help
Not from you, not from you anymore

I started to take my advice
I m still stayin out late at night
But now I m not worried bout fights
Or if I ve said something you don t like
Just being in love with myself
With you it was something else
You re not for me, me

I couldn t take it no more
Let me free, I ll close the door
It was killing me, it was killing me, it was killing me
Now, I can see what was left
It weighs heavy on my chest
It was killing me, it was killing me, it was killing me

Now that we ve said our goodbyes
I see you in all that s alive
Your voice still haunts me at night
But this time it don t make me cry (cry, cry)
Just tryna be real with myself
Love can sometimes hurt like hell
Just let it be, just let it be, just let it be

I couldn t take it no more
Let me free, I ll close the door
It was killing me, it was killing me, it was killing me
Now, I can see what was left
It weighs heavy on my chest
It was killing me, it was killing me, it was killing me

I need to be loved by myself
Before I ll love someone else
And that s not you
That s not you anymore
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Ah-ah-ah (ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh) , ah-ah-ah
