  • If I lose you tonight
    Take my love and hang it out to dry
    If I lose you tonight
    Box me up and bury me alive

    Ayy, if I lose you then I lose
    I went by all the rules to keep your love, so I'm confused
    But yet you left me high and dry, you loosened all my screws
    My heart feel so abused, you dragged until I lost my muse
    Now, I'm caged in the zoo thinkin' 'bout
    What I didn't do, I tried to please you
    I guess that wasn't enough because you still ended up leavin'
    My pops said don't give up because it's out there, keep belivin'
    But it feel like I'm dreamin', steady fightin' for your love
    I'm startin' to feel like I been fiendin', gave up, didn't give a reason
    I think that hurt the most because now I'm just stuck here thinkin'
    The image of you leavin' in my head, it keep repeatin'
    And now I'm slowly sinkin'
    Not reachin' out for help, just slowly fallin' to the deep end

    If I lose you tonight
    Take my love and hang it out to dry
    If I lose you tonight
    Box me up and bury me alive

    Ayy, if I lose you, then I might just go insane
    Like you might never be around, but it's your voice that's in my brain
    I really gave you all my heart, you gave it back without even stayin'
    But I remain to keep the love I had for you, it never changed
    Stuck walkin' in the dark, can't miss the puddles from the rain
    You pulled the stitches out my heart, you ever felt that kind of pain?
    This time, I'll box it up because I'll never be the same
    I'm rearranged and at this point, I'm losin' more than I can gain (than I can gain)

    If we fall off the edge and we're no longer flesh
    And the darkness comes too soon
    Put a gun to my head and then lay me next to you
    'Cause all I know is

    If I lose you tonight
    Take my love and hang it out to dry
    If I lose you tonight
    Box me up and bury me alive
