Keep Lyrics by Jaheim

Struggle Love

2016

[Verse 1]
Oohh yeahh
I clutch my chest and shoulder breath
And it feels like I’m suffocating
Suffocating suffocating
I lay in bed playing it over in my head
How I made it so complicated
Complicated complicated
And it really really hurts to know
That you ain’t talking to me anymore
And I’m trying my best to close that door
But everytime I try my heart ignore

[Chorus]
You didn’t wanna say I do
But I bought that ring for you
You keep that
Ooohhh keep it baby
On a heal will the perfect you
Will enough space for a kid or two
You keep it (oohh)
Now the only time we talk anymore
Is when i fall asleep
It’s true you really care not at all
That beautiful things we lose and some wish
Just wanna keep you just wanna keep you
Closer to me

[Verse 2]
How did we become distant lovers
I was better when were one
Now we couldn’t be fine back
You’re the only one
You’re the only one
You’re the only one
Found me poor if I become
Forever become
Forever become
Without you girl
And it feeling any hurt to know
That you ain’t nothing with me no more
And I tried my best to close that door
This stubborn heart of mine
Seems to [?] me

[Chorus]
You didn’t wanna say I do
But I bought that ring for you
You keep that..you you keep it
Ooohhh
On a heal will the perfect you
Will enough space for a kid or two
You keep it got your name
Got your name on it baby
Oohhh
Now the only time we talk anymore
Is when i fall asleep
It’s true you really care not at all
That beautiful things we lose and some wish
Just wanna keep you just wanna keep you
Closer to me

[Bridge]
Keep wishing I can hold you
Keep wishing I can kiss you too
Keep wishing beloved you and me
You’re not right here girl everyday’s
Like dejavu
I can’t get away from you
I keep trying
Just keep trying

[Chorus]
You didn’t wanna say I do
But I bought that ring for you
You you keep it
Ooohhh
On a heal will the perfect you
Will enough space for a kid or two
You keep it got your name
Got your name on it baby
Oohhh
Now the only time we talk anymore
Is when i fall asleep
It’s true you really care not at all
Beautiful things we lose and some wish
Just wanna keep you just wanna keep you
Closer to me
Just wanna keep you just wanna keep you
Closer to me
Yeah
