Lyrics
Just give it time, I'ma keep it real
Expressing the need for time and a commitment to honesty.
Living in states of motion
Living in a constant state of change or transition.
Perpetual emotion, clouding my judgment
Experiencing ongoing emotions that cloud judgment.
I'm saying things that I shouldn't
Regretting saying things that shouldn't have been said.
You crying and lying, I couldn't leave you like that
Refusing to abandon someone in a vulnerable state.
(No)
Questioning the partner about their desires and needs.
(No)
-What is it that you want baby girl?
-What is it that you need ladybird?
Expressing the need for personal space and freedom.
I'm trying and trying, you shaking me
-Girl give space, I need to breathe
-You prying and prying with aim to please
Resisting pressure to be in an undesired situation.
Second ain't a place I aim to be
-So, keep that lovely smile far away from me
-Stop trying to share all this pain with me
Discouraging the sharing of pain as it brings closeness.
That just makes us grow closer easily
-Never seen your type before, time to flee
Expressing unfamiliarity with the partner's behavior.
Stop reaching your cold hands out
-You'll want it, then call it out
Warning against reaching out for something undesirable.
My heart been turned inside out
-What is it that you want baby girl?
Reiteration of the desire for personal space and independence.
What is it that you need ladybird?
-I'm trying and trying, you shaking me, girl
-Give me some space, I need to breathe
-You prying and prying with aim to please
-Second ain't a place I aim to be
-(J. Maya flow)
Introducing a change in the flow or perspective (J. Maya flow).

Addressing someone who may not understand the consequences of their actions (reference to Icarus).
Does he know what you've done (Done)
-I fly close
-(Close!)
-To the sun
-Icarus, surely you're done
-I know what
Acknowledging the unfavorable fate and missed opportunities.
(What?)
-Fates have in store
-Only the worst for you girl (Girl)
-When I could've had you in Dior (Dior)
-Waves washing our footprints from the shore
Describing the erasure of shared experiences and distancing.
Far away from me
-Stop trying to share all this pain with me
Repeating the discouragement of sharing pain for closeness.
Closer easily
-Never seen your type before, time to flee
-What do you want from me, baby? (Baby)
-Coming in a breeze (Baby)
Questioning the partner's intentions and presence.
