Lyrics
Temptations, they make it hard for me to change
Temptations create difficulties for me to change my ways or behavior.
We go out but there's nothing to celebrate
Despite going out, there's no reason or achievement to commemorate or rejoice.
You could tell you wanna blame your innocence
There's a desire to attribute blame to your innocence.
It's why I lie awake, why I lie awake
Resulting in my inability to sleep, causing me to stay awake.
I took a trip down memory lane
I revisited moments from the past, reminiscing about memories.
I saw you there, I'm calling your name
I visualized or remembered seeing you, calling out your name.
Temptations, they make it hard for me to change
Similar to line 1, temptations hinder my efforts to change.
It's why I lie awake, it's why I lie awake
This difficulty contributes to my insomnia, keeping me awake.
Searching for the words I never said
I'm trying to find words I never expressed previously.
'Cause I got feelings I hold in
I suppress emotions or feelings that I have.
If what you sayings true, then why you next to me
Doubting the truthfulness of what you say because of your proximity to me.
Tell me why I got a feelin' that you testin' me
I sense a test or challenge in your actions or words.
Still feel you all in my bedroom
I still feel your presence or impact in my personal space, specifically my bedroom.
How in the hell do we get to
Confusion about how our relationship reached this undesirable state.
Wishing that I never met you
Regretting or wishing that I never met you.
It's been a while since I felt you
It's been a significant amount of time since I felt your presence.
Only seen you when my eyes are closed
I only visualize or encounter you in my dreams or imagination.
We just a couple of lost souls
We are both individuals who are lost or struggling.
You take me places that I never go
You take me to unfamiliar or uncomfortable places emotionally.
We should've kept it where nobody knows
We should have kept our relationship hidden or secret.
Temptations they make it hard for me to change
Reiteration of how temptations hinder the process of changing.
We go out but there's nothing to celebrate
Similar to line 2, outings lack reasons for celebration.
You could tell you wanna blame your innocence
Repeating the desire to attribute blame to innocence.
It's why I lie awake, why I lie awake
Expressing the cause of insomnia, as mentioned previously.
I took a trip down memory lane
Revisiting memories or past experiences again.
I saw you there, I'm calling your name
Recalling the image of seeing you and calling out to you.
Temptations, they make it hard for me to change
Reiteration of how temptations impede change.
It's why I lie awake, it's why I lie awake
Reiterating the reason behind the inability to sleep.
I took a trip down mem-mem-mem-mem
Repeating the act of revisiting memories.
I saw you there, I'm call-call-call-call
Repeating the image of seeing and calling out.
I saw you there, I'm calling your name
Replication of visualizing seeing and calling out to you.
I saw you there, I'm calling
Continuation of recalling or calling out.
Call-call-call-call
Continued repetition of calling out or trying to reach you.
