Backwards

I cant afford to move backwards
Can you tell me what can help me with this love that I’m after...
I gotta forward the chapters
Aint enough substance (naw)
I cant be playing these games I’m tired of life as a bachelor
I never saw you as a factor
I wanna feel love, that Real love..
Better than your last but I’m staying humble
Baby you a bag that I’ll never fumble
I just wish you were right here (right here)
I just wish you were right here (right here)

Can i make it any clearer
Praying everyday just for that girl in your mirror
Complaining everyday it seems nobody hears her
They sayin you ungrateful and that’s when you would tear up
Running down those soft cheeks (ohh my)
When in doubt you call me (ohh my)
I know this sounds like a love song
And over time ive done ya love wrong
You don been down for so long..

I just want progression
I wanna invest in
Your profession (ohh my)

Tell me can you hear my message
Every time we dont speak, I be over here stressin

This is just my confession
Wanna help you expand, aint no compression
Imma help you dismantle your depression

Cause I cant afford to move backwards
I know my strong will is attractive
I promise that I won’t attack ya
Just wanna see you grow faster

I cant afford to move backwards
Not tryna be a distraction
Im tryna make your soul active

But I cant afford
No I cant afford to move backwards
