A collection of lyrics that speak to my heart From the album: Thank U, Next

"
"Me with no makeup, you in the bathtub
Love how my face fits so good in your neck
Why can't you imagine a world like that?
Feels like forever, baby, I never thought that it would be you
Imagine a world like that
Imagine a world like that
Can you imagine it?
Can you imagine it?
Can you imagine it?
Can you imagine it?
Can you imagine it? (Can you imagine?)
Can you imagine it? (Can you imagine?)
Can you imagine it? (Can you imagine?)
Ooh, imagine it (Can you imagine?)
Imagine it, imagine it
Imagine it, imagine it
Imagine, imagine
Imagine, imagine
Imagine, imagine"

"But all I can say is at least I'll wait for you
Lately, I've been on a roller coaster
Tryna get a hold of my emotions
But all that I know is I need you close
And I’ma scream and shout for what I love
Passionate, but I don't give no f***s
I admit that I'm a lil' messed up
But I can hide it when I'm all dressed up
I'm obsessive and I love too hard
Good at overthinking with my heart
How you even think it got this far, this far?
And I can be needy, way too damn needy
I can be needy, tell me how good it feels to be needed
I can be needy, so hard to please me
I know it feels so good to be needed
Sorry if I'm up and down a lot (Yeah)
Sorry that I think I'm not enough
And sorry if I say sorry way too much
You can go ahead and call me selfish (Selfish)
But after all this damage, I can’t help it (Help it)
But what you can trust is I need your touch"

"I'd rather be alone tonight
Really don’t wanna be in your arms tonight
I'll just use my covers to stay warm tonight
Think I'm better off here all alone tonight
Ain’t no checkin' on when I get home tonight
Just makin' sure I'm good on my own tonight
Yeah, I'm just sayin', baby
I can’t really miss you if I’m with you
And when I miss you, it'll change the way I kiss you
Baby, you know time apart is beneficial
It’s like I'm the universe and you'll be N-A-S-A
Give you the whole world, I'ma need space
I’ma need space, I'ma, I'ma need
You know I'm a star; space, I'ma need space
I'ma need space, I'ma, I'ma need space (N-A-S-A)
Give you the whole world, I'ma need space
I'ma need space, I'ma, I'ma need
You know I'm a star; space, I'ma need space
I'ma need space, I'ma, I'ma need space (N-A-S-A)
It ain't nothing wrong with saying I need me time
Usually, I would orbit around you
But gravity seems to be the only thing that's pulling me
You'll be my rise and shine soon as them stars align, mmm
I'm tryna self-discover
Keep me in your orbit and you know you'll drag me under
I'd rather be alone tonight"

"Because I'm trying to do the best I can
And they can't find something to satisfy me, ugh
Mmm, yeah, yuh
Even though you're bad for me, I know
You're the one that I'm thinkin'
Love me, love me, baby
Are you down? Can you let me know?
Love me, thank you, leave me
Put it down, then it's time to go
Get it like you love me
But you don't, boy, it's just for show
Take it or leave it, you gotta take it or leave it like uh
Don't want you in my bloodline, yeah
Just wanna have a good time, yeah
And no need to apologize, no
But you gon' have to let this s**t go
Don't want you in my bloodline, yeah
Not tryna make you all mine, yeah
And no need to apologize, no
But you gon' have to let this s**t go, yeah
No, we won't be talking the next day
I ain't got nothin' to say (Yeah, nah)
I ain't lookin' for my one true love
Yeah, that ship sailed away
I know what you want, what you want from me
I know what you think, what you think you see
I know what you looking for, but I'm complete
I know what you need, but it won't be me"

"If I'm being honest, I done been through way too much
And I won't say I’m feeling fine
After what I been through, I can’t lie
F**k a fake smile, smile
F**k a fake smile, fake smile"

"I've been outta sight
I've been worried 'bout you lately
Runnin' outta time
'Cause I don't wanna roll with it
Tryna get control of it
Why can't I let go of it?
I got a bad idea
Forget about it, yeah, forget about him, yeah
But, boy, don't trip (Don't trip), you know this isn't real
You should know I'm temporary"

"Look at the cards that we've been dealt
If you were anybody else
Probably wouldn't last a day
Every tear's a rain parade from hell
And I'm puttin' you through more than one ever should
And I'm hating myself 'cause you don't want to
Admit that it hurts you
We'll get through this, we'll get past this, I'm a girl with
A whole lot of baggage
But I love you, we'll get past this, I'm a girl with
A whole lot of baggage, oh yeah
And after all that we been through
There's so much to look forward to
What was done and what was said
Leave it all here in this bed with you"

"Here's the thing: you’re in love with a version of a person that you've created in your head, that you are trying to but cannot fix. Uh, the only person you can fix is yourself. I love you, this has gone on way too long. Enough is enough. I'm two blocks away, I’m coming over.​"

"Painted a picture, I thought I knew you well
I got a habit of seeing what isn't there
Caught in the moment, tangled up in your sheets
When you broke my heart, I said you only wanted half of me
My imagination's too creative
They see demon, I see angel, angel (Angel), angel
Without the halo, wingless angel
Falling, falling, but I never thought you'd leave me
Falling, falling, needed something to believe in, oh
I thought you were the one
But it was all in my head
It was all in my head
runnin' from your issues
I figure we can work it out, hmm
Painted a picture; I thought I drew you well
I had a vision of seeing what isn't there
Caught in the moment, tangled up in your sheets
When you broke my heart, said you only wanted half of me
My imagination's too creative
They see Cain and I see Abel (Abel), Abel (Abel), Abel
I know you're able, willin’ and able
Falling, falling, but I thought that you would need me
Falling, falling, needed something to believe in, oh
I thought that you were the one
But it was all in my head
It was all in my head
runnin’ from your issues
I figure we can work it out, hmm
Wanted you to grow, but, boy, you wasn't budding
Everything you are made you everything you aren’t
I saw your potential without seein' credentials
Maybe that's the issue (Yeah, yeah)
Said maybe that's the issue, ah
Can’t hold that s**t against you, ah
Guess I did it to myself, yeah
Thought you were somebody else, you
Thought you were somebody else, you (You)
Thought you were somebody else, you"

"Girls with tattoos who like getting in trouble
Been through some bad s**t, I should be a sad b***h
Who woulda thought it'd turn me to a savage?
Rather be tied up with calls and not strings
Wearing a ring, but ain't gon' be no "Mrs."
My smile is beamin' (Yeah), my skin is gleamin' (Is gleamin')
The way it shine, I know you've seen it (You've seen it)"

"One taught me love
One taught me patience
And one taught me pain
Now, I'm so amazing
Say I've loved and I've lost
But that's not what I see
So, look what I got
Look what you taught me
And for that, I say
Thank you, next
I'm so f****n' grateful for my ex
I ain't worried 'bout nothin'
Plus, I met someone else
We havin' better discussions
I know they say I move on too fast
But this one gon' last
'Cause her name is Ari
And I'm so good with that
She taught me love (Love)
She taught me patience (Patience)
How she handles pain (Pain)
That s**t's amazing (Yeah, she's amazing)
I've loved and I've lost (Yeah, yeah)
But that's not what I see (Yeah, yeah)
'Cause look what I've found (Yeah, yeah)
Ain't no need for searching, and for that, I say
Thank you, next (Thank you, next)
Thank you, next (Thank you, next)
I'm so f****n' grateful for my ex"

"You got me some type of way (Hmm)
Ain't used to feelin' this way (Mmm-mmm)
I do not know what to say (Yeah, yeah)
But I know I shouldn't think about it
You could hit it in the mornin' (Mornin')
Yeah, yeah, like it's yours
I know it ain't right
But I don't care
Practically on my knees (Yeah, yeah)
But I know I shouldn't think about it
You know what you're doin' to me
Actin' all innocent, please
When I know you out here thinkin' 'bout it
Then you realize she's right there (Yeah)
And you're at home like, "Damn, she can't compare"
Say I'm trippin' if you feel like
But you without me ain't right (Ain't right)
You could call me crazy 'cause I want you
Say I'm trippin' and it ain't right
But you without me ain't nice (Ain't nice, yeah)
Break up with your girlfriend (Girlfriend)
Yeah, yeah, 'cause I'm bored"
