You've been tryna link
I've been on the fence
Contemplating all these distractions
My mind is spent
Cup of coffee
I'd rather take it black
I'm always half & half
It's always half & half

This is a tug-of-war
I feel like my face hit the mud
I'm pulling away
Trust me when I say this ain't a game
Hard to complain to you
Why the charades?
I feel like my words just got stuck
My throat's closing up
Trust me when I say I'll never change

I just tone down
It's a chain reaction
I'm always acting
The script is lacking
I'm always packing
For the nights remember
Like I'm looking backward
It's a chain reaction
I'm always acting
The script is lacking

Tired but I'll leave a message
When I'm rolling up
Knocking down the walls
Just to build it up again
The second quarters down
My defense wore thin
Caught me on an indecisive day
But that's every day
You're my everyday

This is the final straw
Slept on me then
This year they're all waking up
Trust me when I say I never change

I just tone down
The boys slowin' down
I just tone down. (ay, ay)
You know now
You know now

It's a chain reaction
I'm always acting
The script is lacking
I'm always packing
For the nights remember
Like I'm looking backward
It's a chain reaction
I'm always acting
The script is lacking
Tired but I'll leave a message
When I'm rolling up

It's a chain reaction
I'm always acting
The script is lacking. (I'm running away)
Tired but I'll leave a message
When I'm rolling up
I'm always packing
For the nights remember
Like I'm looking backward
Tired but I'll leave a message
When I'm rolling up
