Sitting in the dark Off in my room Thinking of you I'm at the brink of me breaking' down 'Cause all these thoughts of me and you apart Won't leave my head right now Baby, baby call me crazy 'Cause I know without you I won't be no good When the latch on my heart comes to you You should know If I don't have you Rocks me to the core I can't love no more If I don't have you Know I'm done for sure Nobody worth fighting for I'll tear down these walls That's on my life I'll lose my mind if I don't have you Looking at my phone But you ain't even call I put it in a drawer 'Cause I wanna be right next to you If you wanna talk Baby come on through Before it's all done Tell me I'm your only one Baby, baby call me crazy 'Cause I know without you I won't be no good When the latch on my heart comes to you You should know If I don't have you Rocks me to the core I can't love no more If I don't have you Know I'm done for sure Nobody worth fighting for I'll tear down these walls That's on my life I'll lose my mind if I don't have you (If I don't have you) It's way too late to start things over Can't seem to get it together We're trying, we try But we won't look wrong Dead in their eyes Let's try and make it right 'Cause I don't wanna fight Can't see myself without you, in my mind Please don't say you're done with me 'Cause you're my baby Baby You should know If I don't have you Rocks me to the core I can't love no more If I don't have you Know I'm done for sure Nobody worth fighting for I'll tear down these walls That's on my life I'll lose my mind if I don't If I don't have you Rocks me to the core I can't love no more If I don't have you Know I'm done for sure Nobody worth fighting for I'mma tear down these walls And that's on my life I'll lose my mind if I don't have you
