No Strings
Unraveling Ties: Liyah Knight's No Strings Reveals the Struggle of Moving On
Lyrics
I see you're on your own, but not alone
I notice that you are alone, but you don't feel lonely.
Asking for space and you got it
You requested some space, and I've given it to you.
Still keeping me in your pocket
You still keep me in your thoughts or emotions.
Hate that you take advantage of my flaws
I dislike that you exploit my weaknesses.
I'm too nice to keep it a hundred
I am too kind to be completely honest or direct.
The small is making me nauseous
Small things are making me feel sick or uneasy.
We don't need to be friends
We don't need to maintain a friendship.
If it's really over why should I pretend
If the relationship is truly over, there's no need for pretense.
Oh oh
Expressing a sense of realization or understanding.
That I still think of your body (NO)
I still remember your body, but I don't want it.
The way you held mine, I forgot it (NO)
I've forgotten the way you held me, and I don't want to remember.
No loose ends gotta cut it (NO)
There are no unresolved issues; it's time to move on.
When there's no strings attached at all
The relationship is truly over with no emotional ties.
Phone call I appreciate it (NO)
I appreciate the phone call, but I'd rather not fake conversations.
But I'd rather not talk than to fake it (NO)
Silence is better than pretending or faking emotions.
Holding on ain't worth the waiting (NO)
Holding onto the past is not worth the wait.
When there's no strings attached at all
No emotional attachments remain.
I know you're not my business anymore
You are no longer my concern or priority.
We don't have to share all our problems
We don't have to discuss all our problems openly.
Not talking about it will solve em
Ignoring the issues may be a solution.
I've deleted all the threads
I've deleted all our communication threads.
Cos I'm tryna let it go
I'm trying to move on from the past.
But it's hard to clear the air
It's challenging to resolve issues when you keep contacting me.
When you're blowing up my phone
Your constant messages make it hard to move on.
Why you tryna be friends
Why do you want to be friends now?
If it's really over
If the relationship is over, there's no need for further interaction.
Why you tryna come over, oh
Why are you trying to reconnect or visit?
We don't need to be friends
We don't need to maintain a friendship.
If it's really over why should I pretend
If it's genuinely over, there's no reason to pretend otherwise.
That I still think of your body (NO)
I don't desire your body anymore.
The way you held mine, I forgot it (NO)
I've forgotten the intimate moments we shared.
No loose ends gotta cut it (NO)
All loose ends in our relationship need to be cut.
When there's no strings attached at all
No emotional ties remain; it's time to move on.
Phone call I appreciate it (NO)
I appreciate the phone call, but I'd prefer genuine communication.
But I'd rather not talk than to fake it (NO)
Silence is better than fake conversations.
Holding on ain't worth the waiting (NO)
Holding onto the past is not worth the wait.
When there's no strings attached at all
No emotional attachments remain.
Not waiting by the phone,
I'm not anxiously waiting for your call.
Waiting by the phone for you.
I'm not eagerly waiting for you to call me.
There's no strings attached at all.
No emotional ties exist anymore.
