for however long

if i’m not the only one, tell me i am

and if i don’t make your heart beat pretend i can

it’s for the better and my ego’s sake

that’s one more day my heart won’t break

gimme tonight, and for however long

for however long, oooo

baby i’ll take what i can get, at some point i cannot complain

i forgot how quick you forget about the memories we made

i’m tryna illuminate em, before you eliminate me first

i know it’s an uphill battle

but i’m willing to do the work and make this work

so meet me half way, that’s all i ask of you it’s not that hard

you don’t see it both ways, i’ve been compromising way too far from the start

if i’m not the only one, tell me i am

and if i don’t make your heart beat pretend i can

it’s for the better and my ego’s sake

that’s one more day my heart won’t break

gimme tonight, and for however long

gimme the truth if it feels good

for however long, oooo

tell me lies, make sure it sound authentic

imma simp for ya, playin outta bounds already

i don’t do that much

wish we had more contact, we playin two hand touch

actin funny style maybe you should do stand up, with your fine ass

i’m just lucky i could find that

lookin like a Coke bottle, sippin out your wine glass

thicker than a whole novel, i’ll read every line back

and i want the truth just gimme bits at a time

otherwise we not gon make it to the finishing line

that thang behind you, you can gimme all of that at once

i would be stupid if i passed that up, come on

if i’m not the only one, tell me i am

and if i don’t make your heart beat pretend i can

it’s for the better and my ego’s sake

that’s one more day my heart won’t break

gimme tonight, and for however long

for however long, ooo
