Lyrics
The door creeks a quarter to 3
The door makes a creaking sound at 2:45 AM.
You crawl into bed, trying not to pull the sheets
You get into bed cautiously, trying not to disturb the sheets.
But I’d never fall asleep
I wouldn't easily fall asleep.
With half of my heart wandering the streets
Part of my emotions or love is outside, wandering elsewhere.
Took some time to realize what got us here
I took some time to understand how we reached this point.
Tired of locking doors laying down in fear
Fed up with securing doors and feeling scared while lying down.
Loving you does not mean I'm staying here
Loving you doesn’t obligate me to stay here.
And leaving don’t mean I don’t care
Leaving doesn’t signify that I don't care.
Tough love
Emphasizing a love that involves making difficult decisions.
Tough love
Reiterating the concept of difficult or challenging love.
You know I usually give up
It's usual for me to give in and accept whatever false story you've created.
And go with whatever lie you’ve stirred up
But choosing tough love this time.
But tough love
Reaffirming the idea of choosing tough love.
Take a coffee for the road
Take a coffee with you for the journey.
Trust me, it’s tiring being alone
Being alone is exhausting, believe me.
I am no longer your home
I am no longer the place where you find comfort.
Don’t say you took me for granted, I already know
Don’t claim you didn't appreciate me; I'm already aware of it.
Took some time to realize what got us here
Took time to understand the situation that brought us here.
Tired of locking doors, laying down in fear
Tired of feeling scared and securing doors.
Lovin’ you does not mean I am staying here
Loving you doesn’t mean I am obligated to stay.
And leaving don’t mean I don’t care
Leaving doesn’t imply I lack care.
Tough love
Reiterating the challenging nature of the love being expressed.
Tough love
Emphasizing the concept of difficult love once more.
You know I usually give up
It’s typical for me to surrender and accept your fabricated stories.
And go with whatever lie you’ve stirred up
Choosing tough love instead.
But tough love
Reaffirming the notion of tough love.
You’re so manipulative
You're manipulative in your actions.
Broken over the words you won’t stop sayin’
Hurt by the continuous hurtful words you keep using.
Done tryin’ to contemplate it
I'm done trying to understand it.
I love me enough
I value myself enough to give you some tough love.
To give you some
Choosing to offer tough love.
Tough love
Reiterating the need for challenging love.
Some tough, some tough, oh some tough
Emphasizing various facets of tough love.
Tough, tough love
Continuing to stress the idea of tough, challenging love.
Tough, tough love
Reaffirming the presence and significance of tough love.
