[Hook: Daughter]
Shadows settle on the place, that you left
Our minds are troubled by the emptiness
Destroy the middle, it's a waste of time
From the perfect start to the finish line

[Verse 1: Ivan B]
See, I barely know you right now
And in fact we're not really friends
Right now my heart is screaming "Don't you do this again"
I can’t pretend that I don’t feel it;
These feelings that I’m concealing
While I’m writing, thinking “Damn
When will I see you again?”
And I know I shouldn’t do this
You wouldn’t know I’m a mess
But you could be the piece that fills the gap that’s been left
Cause I look at you, I forget;
I see a book to be read
And yet I haven’t said a word
I know it’s all for the best
And plus I know you want better
I bite my tongue; it’s whatever
Biggest flaw of the heart is it looks for love to feel better
It ain’t the same anymore;
Don’t take a chance anymore
I don’t look back to my ex;
I’m not who she wants anymore
And, my heart says “yeah”, but I don’t listen
I’ve been looking for a sign
And I’ve been acting like I missed it
Hating what I'm feelings so I'm saying I don't feel it
Cause the girl I barely know has got my heart just out here trippin' like

Shadows settle on the place, that you left

[Verse 2: Ivan B]
Yea, we got Math from 55 in class at 7 in the morning
And besides from college credit
Yeah, you kind of make it worth it
A feeling’s worth a thousand words
And somehow I can’t word it
Cause I know there’s more to find;
There’s more to you below the surface
The grayest skies couldn’t dim those hazel eyes
Yeah, walking with you after class is where I realize
That I’m not searching for something;
I’m on the run ‘til I fall
And if you ever got to know me
Would you know me at all?
Temporary affection is all I see all around
I been down; I picked this pen up just to write my heart down
But see this feeling just won’t let up
When I’m turning around
I'm lovesick, sick of love, with no cure to be found
The latest nights is when it hits me
Man, no one really gets me
I don't know if you're the one
Or if I want you to fix me
Look, I'm done with pretend
Let me know who you are
Truth is, I'm at the end; I'll look at you as a start
[Hook: Daughter]
Shadows settle on the place, that you left
Our minds are troubled by the emptiness
Destroy the middle, it's a waste of time
From the perfect start to the finish line
