[Intro — INTIMATE, MALE VOCAL] Ooh Yeah I know you want me here I just can't promise that tonight [Verse 1 — SMOOTH, RESTRAINED] You told me you love me, and I hate that I need to focus on my future My future, my future, yeah, I hate that I'm sorry, baby, so sorry, baby I need to focus on me right now Maybe we can reconnect somehow I don't know the answers right now But I gotta focus on my future right now You keep asking if there's someone else Like I could give you what I can't give myself I hate the way your eyes change when I speak Like you hear goodbye in everything I mean You deserve more than half of me More than promises I can't guarantee And I still want you closer than you know That's what makes it so hard to let you go [Pre-Chorus — SOFT, RISING EMOTION] Don't think I never cared Don't think it wasn't real I'm trying to become someone Who knows just what to feel And if I stay tonight I'll say what you wanna hear Then wake up in the morning Still not knowing why I'm here [Chorus — CATCHY, SOULFUL, LAYERED VOCALS] My future right now I can't let myself down I'm sorry, baby I still want you around My future right now I gotta figure me out Ooh, I wish I could stay But I can't stay this way [Verse 2 — WARM, VULNERABLE] Your perfume still lives on my coat I read your last message, then leave it alone I type out the truth, then erase half the page 'Cause the honest words hurt in a different way You said that love should be enough I wish that wanting you could fix all of us But I've been losing time trying to be The man you need while forgetting me And I know how it sounds when I say I need space Like I'm finding a reason to walk away But I still think of you when the day gets long And I still hear your voice when something goes wrong I don't want to keep you waiting on a chance Or hold you close when I can't make a stand If you find someone who can give you more I won't blame you for walking out that door [Pre-Chorus — AIRY, VULNERABLE] Don't think I never cared You know how deep it goes But love can't make a decision That only I can own And if I stay tonight I'll say what you wanna hear Then wake up in the morning Still not knowing why I'm here [Chorus — FULLER HARMONIES] My future right now I can't let myself down I'm sorry, baby I still want you around My future right now I gotta figure me out Ooh, I wish I could stay But I can't stay this way [Bridge — FALSETTO, CLOSE AND FRAGILE] If I call you when the night gets lonely Would you answer like you still know me? If I tell you that I miss your touch Would that mean I haven't changed enough? I don't wanna use your love for shelter Then leave you when I feel a little better So if goodbye is what I have to do I'll carry all the pain instead of passing it to you [Final Chorus — EMOTIONAL, WIDE VOCAL LAYERS] My future right now I can't let myself down I'm sorry, baby I still want you around My future right now I gotta figure me out Ooh, I wish I could stay But I can't stay this way [Outro — SOFT FALSETTO] Ooh I'm sorry, baby Ooh I gotta focus on me right now My future My future right now Ooh...
