Lyrics

[Intro]
Take it away
[Verse 1]
And though we struggle apart
Thought I was good, but I'm not
And though it troubles my heart
Don't wanna cover the scar (Don't wanna cover the scar)
[Refrain]
So I go where they hold me down (Don't wanna cover the scar, don't wanna cover the scar)
And I go where they hold me down (Don't wanna cover the scar, don't wanna cover the scar)
And you're not gonna take my crown (Don't wanna cover the scar)
And I'm tryin', but this time around
[Verse 2]
I'ma float, yeah, I'm floating away
Sittin' around, and I found out it ain't 'bout no wait
I don't care what you're talkin' about
All the sh— that you say
You won't learn anyway
[Verse 3]
Talk is cheap, I ain't tryna wait
Keepin' me distracted while you play me in my face
Blockin' me from blessings that are waitin' to take your place
Either I'm the one or the one that caught a case
You decide if you like, but it's me that pulls the strings
Look, baby, no hands, watch me really handle tings
These hoes will talk
I took a break
I fell in love
My mistake
No, this love don't come for free
I would give it all, easy
Just one kiss, I pay the price
You owe me a life for a life
Lyin', cryin'
All this time in the turmoil of your love
[Chorus]
I deserve more
I deserve everything ('Cause I'd rather be holier)
All the power of your touch
All that love can bring (And I'd rather be holier)
I deserve everything
'Cause I'd rather be holier
'Cause I'd rather be holier
[Bridge]
All the power of your touch
All that love can bring
All the power of your touch
All that love can bring
[Outro]
No-ooh-oh
Mm-hm-mm
No-ooh-ooh
