  • I feel like I'm losing you whenever I'm offline
    Though I never had you, I used to pretend that you're mine
    I feel like there's nothing for me here but still I try
    I feel like there's nothing for me here but still I try
    Bruising my finger, hitting your line
    If I'm holding back I might just lose my mind

    Keeping my phone alive (alive)
    Hoping that you call this time (oh, I)
    Thought I heard you ringing (you)
    You know I hear things sometimes
    Call my line, call my line
    Come alive, come alive
    Show me, don't pretend
    Show me, don't pretend
    Show me, don't pretend

    Keeping you on my radar
    Lately, you're so damn cold
    You used to hold me down
    You're far, so it's been awhile
    I still remember your voice
    How you talk so soft in the morning
    You're the only one I'm wanting
    Love stays still and I'm frozen
    But I'm opening thoughts that I keep within
    I guess I gotta be a man
    I tried as hard as I can

    Keeping my phone alive (you)
    Hoping that you call this time
    Thought I heard you ringing
    You know I hear things sometimes
    Call my line, call my line
    Come alive, come alive
    Show me, don't pretend
    Show me, don't pretend
    Show me, don't pretend
    Show me, don't pretend
    Show me, don't pretend (come alive, oh)
    Show me, don't pretend (yeah, yeah, yeah)
    Show me, don't pretend Writer/s: Khalid Robinson, Mohamed Ahmed, Ryan Vojtesak, Saif Musaad, Shane Lindstrom
