"Failing In Love"

So close to givin' up
When you stay, you're fuckin' up
When your prayers aren't enough and the tears don't work
I thought we were family, so you know how it hurts
I'm crazy about you
But that's not enough
From a boy to a man, still never grew up
I don't wanna feel this, don't wanna get stuck

[Pre-Chorus:]
I'm in, I'm out
Can't get over you, no doubt
(Wish I) Wish I knew what I do now
Wouldn't keep the door open 'til you appear
Ooh, I'm passin' your house
Got me wantin' to burn it to the ground
(Damn, I) Wish I knew what I do now
But it wouldn't even save us

[Chorus:]
And I keep failin' in love
How'd I lose it?
Feels like it's never enough
But I can't let it go
And I keep givin' my all
So tired, so tired, so tired
And I keep failin' in love
How'd I lose it?

Not gettin' any rest
'Cause this love has been a headache (Yeah)
It used to be fun (Yeah), was your only one
It used to be feelings, now it's just a mess (Yeah)
Nobody really wins (Nobody)
When there's beef between me and you
'Cause I'ma do me (Yehah), and you gon' do you
And now it's a problem 'cause you don't approve

[Pre-Chorus:]
I'm in, I'm out
Can't get over you, no doubt (No)
(Wish I) Wish I knew what I do now (I wish, I wish)
Wouldn't keep the door open 'til you appear
Ooh, I'm passin' your house
Got me wantin' to burn it to the ground
(Damn, I) Wish I knew what I do now
But it wouldn't even save us (No, no, no)

[Chorus:]
And I keep failin' in love (I don't know what I do wrong)
How'd I lose it?
Feels like it's never enough (Feels like it's never, never, never)
But I can't let it go
And I keep givin' my all
So tired, so tired, so tired (I keep givin' my all)
And I keep failin' in love (I keep failin' in love)
How'd I lose it?

[Outro:]
Oh-oh-oh (We got London on the track)
I keep failin', I don't know what I'm doin' wrong, oh
Help me, I
Help me, I need to figure it out
Help me figure it out, yeah
