Rent Free (Acoustic)
[Verse 1]
How you livin'?
I heard you got more room, no roof, no ceilings
You needed space to grow, now you have no limits
And I don't even think I've been the same since you went missin'
I changed for love like—, yeah
'Cause I know you ain't have to take that, take that, you ain't to take, yeah
And I was thinkin' maybe if I gave you time, maybe time could erase that
Bad stuff, but even took that love
And now I'm here problem-solvin' until this add up

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I've been through a lot this year
You been through a lot this year

I keep tryna fight these fears
Like sleep, I don't quite get here
I had to be right, yeah, yeah
I had to be right, yeah, yeah

Ooh, don't you go makin' it harder

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I've been through a lot this year
You've been through a lot this year
When it come to the fights this year
Who really paid the price this year?
I keep tryna fight my fears
Like sleep, I don't quite get here
I had to be right, yeah, yeah
I had to be right

[Chorus]
You live in my mind rent-free
I admit it was my pride that let you leave
I done filled up all my time just to feel empty, yeah
How you don't pay me no mind and then still be
In mine rent-free?

[Outro]
Oh, love
We started it up
I done did too much work, yeah
I can't call it quits, oh, no-no
With a bag of tricks like it—
Got the pride in it like it—
Put the love on ice, it was a—
