[Verse 1]
I let the bats out, we walk through
The cathedral out into the moon
Your flashback is airtight
Like an elephant, never hurt a fly
Mother instinct never gonna die

[Chorus]
Alright, stay
You got my attention
All my pain
Is bottled affection

[Verse 2]
Now it's my turn to play cool
Nothing you can say can even break through
I see the weapons, I pulled out
I met my match, so why am I proud?
I'm not the same kid, I grew up
Didn't I? Or did I get stuck?
You get older, it gets worse
You be the good one that gives it up first
Or the bad one that never gets hurt

[Chorus](2X)
Alright, stay
You got my attention
All my pain
Is bottled affection
[Outro]
My affection, my affection
Pouring out, pouring out
Bottled affection, bottled affection
Pouring out, pouring out
Bottled affection, bottled affection
