Commitment Lyrics by Jaye Newton

Just Pray for Me

2019

[Chorus]
You are the air I breathe
You are my holy sea
I live, I pray, I see
I pray, you pray for me
You are the air I breathe
You are my holy sea
I live, I pray, I see
I pray, you pray for me

[Verse 1]
We ain't together but we might as well be
Livin' in her room without a fee, she caters to me
I can see in her eyes, I'm everything and more
She's optimistic 'bout the future and what is in store
Yet on my end, I'm scared to love her like I should
‘Cause though I'm capable and this love affair feels good
This ain't my first rodeo, I done seen it all
I done love been hurt, hurt others, I ain't tryna fall
Too deep in that cycle again
So I get cold and don't let her in
She doesn't understand, I'm selfless
And I'm tryna save her heart from the start
You don't wanna love me in this stage of my life
I've grown with older age, now I'm wise
Me bein' too focused
Leads to compromisin' of your time and attention
Only late nights and early mornings will suffice
We go out maybe once or twice, should I mention? But I know
She's in love, though she's never told me
Before I leave, she just wanna hold me
Each time makes me feel it could be the last
Want it to last
But how can I slow down when my entire life
I've livin' so fast?
Young and naive, she doesn't have a past
I'm her first love, first everything
Pretty sure she's thought of weddin' rings
Addicted to her presence, our flame brightens the more that I hit
Inhale, exhale, I'm stressed, why can't I commit?
Temptation thickens the more that I ascend
So accustomed to lustful livin'
We on different chapters in life and it is evident
Bein' laid up is way out of my element
Frustrated, I hate it, I feel idle
But my presence in your life is so vital
I want a friend, not a title
Tryin' not to play you like a recital
So please, do not let me

[Chorus]
You are the air I breathe
You are my holy sea
I live, I pray, I see
I pray, you pray for me

[Interlude]

[Bridge]
I think that we are movin' way too fast
I don't want the same mistake I did was my last
We need foundation
Is that too much to ask?
You got a temper
Produced by Bossman, right
You're a slave to your pride
You lack empathy, I cannot confide
We need foundation
‘Cause these emotions I hide
She ask me, “Are you scared of loving me?
And if not, tell me, what can it be?
‘Cause if you loved me
You would be with me”

[Outro]
