[Hook]
You come uninvited
You take me by surprise and
You keep me up at night, oh I

Can't run from where I'm hiding
You make it hard to fight
Way you keep me paralyzed

[Verse 1]
When I'm all alone you go and take control away
What we don't know can't hurt, can't understand what might've been
Don't wanna know what you heard, your words don't hold no weight
I been low so long don't notice when I dive again
In my defense, I've been known to chase
But I don't want wind up in
The type of thing
I just can't escape

Render my movement useless
And my home so hopeless
You ain't used to do this
But now you hone your focus
I say

[Hook]
You come uninvited
You take me by surprise and
You keep me up at night, oh I

Can't run from where I'm hiding
You make it hard to fight
Way you keep me paralyzed

[Verse 2]
Got a new bottle now
Maybe this one can calm me down
Just like you wanted
You ran from your promise

Got a new bottle now
Maybe this one'll put me down
Instead of your comments
Is it worth being honest?

What I wouldn't give to control myself
Couldn't give in so I told myself
That I'd be better off just giving up on me
And be someone else

Spending more time working on my health
Used to go and lie bout the things I felt
But now we set it off
I meant it all, I need you to be my help
I say

[Hook]
You come uninvited
You take me by surprise and
You keep me up at night, oh I

Can't run from where I'm hiding
You make it hard to fight
Way you keep me paralyzed

[Bridge]
I could lay it all down for you
You won't pull me close you
You put me down
Must feel so strong

Lay it all down for you
You won't pull me close you
You put me down
It's been so long

So long
So long
So long

[Verse 3]
So long as we sleep on it
7 nights out the week, honest
Wasn't coming for me
Things we say ain't for lease, own it

Way you felt, could've least shown it
I need help, so I reach for it
Tell me how it's gon' be
Really, tell me how it's gon' be 'cause

I need peace and it's all in the mental
Late night, ain't right
That I lean on you 'til the morning
It's nothing against you
Spent days long on the same song
Couldn't right wrongs, even with a pen or the pencil

Now I keep a new standard
The way I'm gon' handle it
Couldn't hold on when I thought I was gon' damage it
You shouldn't wait long when you reaching for a hand with it
I say

[Hook]
You come uninvited
You take me by surprise and
You keep me up at night, oh I

Can't run from where I'm hiding
You make it hard to fight
Way you keep me paralyzed
