Safer

This feels way too good to be true
I'm ready to go there with you
I'm fallin' again
It's like déjà vu, ooh

The last time that I met someone like you
Had some good times and we had some bad times too
And it looks like you're gonna be that times two
As bad as I want ya

I know that it's danger
I know I'm safer runnin'
Oh, runnin', oh
Oh, runnin'
I know that it's danger
I know I'm safer runnin'
Oh, runnin', oh
Oh, runnin'
I know that it's danger
I know I'm safer runnin'

Yeah, yeah, knew what it was, but I thought it'd be different
Being with you, only's makin' me missin'
I, I try to keep an open mind
Deep down, I knew why, why it felt so right 'cause

Last time that I met someone like you
Had some good times and we had some bad times too
And it looks like you gonna be that times two
As bad as I want ya

I know that it's danger
I know I'm safer runnin'
Oh, runnin', oh
Oh, runnin'
I know that it's danger
I know I'm safer runnin'
Oh, runnin', oh
Oh, runnin'
I know that it's danger
I know I'm safer

I'm safer over here (safer)
Safer when you're not near (know I'm safer)
Can't go back, won't go back
I know that it's danger
I know I'm safer
I'm safer over here (safer)
Safer when you're not near (know I'm safer)
Can't go back, won't go back

I know that it's danger
I know I'm safer runnin'
Oh, runnin', oh
Oh, runnin'
I know that it's danger
I know I'm safer runnin'
Oh, runnin', oh
Oh, runnin'
I know that it's danger
I know I'm safer runnin'

Truth or Dare

Hold on
Did you say you're on your way?
Why now?
When you just went MIA
Message received, oh, now you want me back?
I know the procedure
Tryna come to my place, turn around
That's too far away, too far gone

(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Can't handle what I am now
You're a fan now and I'm not what I was (ooh-ooh-ooh)
So tell me, are you down now? 'Cause I'm up now

So let's play truth or dare
Dare you to forget that you used to treat me just like anyone
Truth or dare? Is it true you care?
Now that you can see the love from everyone

Tell me
Now you care? (Ah) truth or dare?
Are you playing? Truth or dare
Tell me
Now you care? Truth or dare?
Are you playing? Truth or

Would you still want me if I didn't have it all? (All)
You could've had it with me but instead you gave it up (gave it up)
Tell me, when's it gonna get through to you (ooh)
Everybody needs somebody, but I can't feel, ooh
When they ask you questions 'bout me, tell 'em how you
How we could've gone places, but you were too impatient (ah)

(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Can't handle what I am now
You're a fan now and I'm not what I was (ooh-ooh-ooh)
So tell me, are you down now? 'Cause I'm up now

So let's play truth or dare
Dare you to forget that you used to treat me just like anyone

No. 1

Ah, yeah

It wasn't workin'
I pretended, tried to finish
You wanna turn it all around
Dodgin' feelings
I'm too real to forget
I don't reason
No compromisin'

Okay, I'm leavin' tonight
Okay, I'm good in my life
I gotta put me number one
No compromisin'
Free from your grip in the world
Feel like a million girl
I gotta put me number one

You don't give me nothing
Not begging you for something, something
Virtually wasted
Virtually tainted
But it's not worth it
You're not my safety
How dare you call me babe when you can't be trusted?
Holdin' me back, boy, when you make me exhausted
I won't do it, time is up for you
I gotta prioritize, no more compromising me

Okay, I'm leavin' tonight
Okay, I'm good in my life
I gotta put me number one
No compromisin'
Free from your grip in the world
Feel like a million girl
I gotta put me number one
No compromisin'
Okay, I'm leavin' tonight
Okay, I'm good in my life
I gotta put me number one
No compromisin'
Free from your grip in the world
Feel like a million girl
I gotta put me number one
No compromisin'

No compromisin'
I gotta put me number one

Breathe Me

Inhale harder
Wanna feel your heartbeat louder

I know you've been waitin' to exhale
Baby, when you face me, I can tell, right?
Can't hide from me

Don't talk too much, I know what you need
Follow me, no need to follow your mind
Or your heart
Whoa, mouth to mouth when you touchin' me
Open up, baby, I'll fill your lungs
CPR

You don't need no air, you can just
Breathe me, breathe me
One breath ain't enough
Breathe me
Inhale harder
Wanna feel your heartbeat louder
Take you higher
We can go where you want, na-na-na
You don't need no air, just
Breathe me, breathe me

I can fill you inside out
Can you feel me inside now?
Can you even see right now?
I'm a one-way trip, this is two-way thing
I'll make you feel free, do anything for me, ooh

Don't talk too much, I know what you need
Follow me, no need to follow your mind
Or your heart
Whoa, mouth to mouth when you touchin' me
Open up, baby, I'll fill your lungs
CPR

You don't need no air, you can just
Breathe me, breathe me
One breath ain't enough
Breathe me
Inhale harder
Wanna feel your heartbeat louder
Take you higher
We can go where you want, na-na-na
Baby, no, you don't need no air, just
Breathe me

Inhale harder
Wanna feel your heartbeat louder
Take you higher
We can go where you want, na-na-na
Inhale harder
Wanna feel your heartbeat louder
Take you higher
We can go where you want, na-na-na
Inhale harder
Wanna feel your heartbeat louder
Take you higher
We can go where you want, na-na-na
Baby, no, you don't need no air, just
Breathe me, breathe me

Butterflies

You give me butterflies
Got me falling in the deep end of your disguise
Sparred with a hundred lies
So I fear this might be my goodbye, ah (yeah, yeah)

I don't need reparations boy, bye (yeah, yeah)
Countin' blessings by the dozen, ooh, I'm God's child (yeah, yeah)
All it took was dedication to make me fly (yeah, yeah)
Not a minute could be wasted, we on God's time

Plus you the type to leave me confused
In a maze trapped in your rule
Many tried to cleanse me of you
But my heart wants more

You give me butterflies
Got me falling in the deep end of your disguise
Sparred with a hundred lies
So I fear this might be my goodbye, ah (yeah, yeah)

Can he care, can't listen, can't think, hold up (ooh)
When he said it, "Hit it," would you give me love? (Ooh)
Can't care, wouldn't listen, can't even think, hold up (ooh)
Can't see when I'm with you, can't think, hold up (ooh)

You drive to fast (you drive too fast)
Might burn and crash (might burn and crash)
Takin' the backseat (takin' the back)
I'm done with that (I'm done with that)

Plus you the type to leave me confused
In a maze trapped in your rule
Many tried to cleanse me of you
But my heart wants more

You give me butterflies
Got me falling in the deep end of your disguise
Sparred with a hundred lies
So I fear this might be my goodbye, ah (yeah, yeah)

Can he care, can't listen, can't think, hold up (ooh)
When he said it, "Hit it," would you give me love? (Ooh)
Can't care, wouldn't listen, can't even think, hold up (ooh)
Can't see when I'm with you, can't think, hold up (ooh)

On and On

Oh, oh
Mm, mm

I'm not goin' home
Tell my mama don't wait up for me
I won't check my phone, there's no need
I just wish we could press rewind, so

Let's take it back in time
Party like it's '95
I just wanna dance all night (Yeah)
You know that I like it like that
Let's take it back in time
When the parties were like '95
I just wanna dance all night (Yeah)
Tell them, "Turn the lights out"

Let the party go on all night long
We can go on, on and on
Let's make the party go on all night long
We can go on, on and on
On and-

I'm not goin' home
'Cause I swear the DJ's playin' all of these songs for me
You gotta drag me off the floor, all night
'Cause that's the only way you'll get me to leave, so

Let's take it back in time (Oh, yeah)
Party like it's '95 (Oh, yeah)
I just wanna dance all night (Yeah)
You know that I like it like that
Let's take it back in time (In time)
When the parties were like '95 (Five)
I just wanna dance all night (Yeah)
Tell them, "Turn the lights out"

Let the party go on all night long
We can go on, on and on
Let's make the party go on all night long
We can go on, on and on
Let's make the party go on all night long

Wanna give D, I serve it like a dealer (dealer)
Deep in her throat while I'm digging in her middle (middle)

Baby sweet and tender like a sirloin (sirloin)
Tell the chauffeur take her to a Chanel store
Ever play with you, it'd be a world war (tell 'em double it up)

Give me, gotta give me, gotta give me the room
You know what it means when I give you the look (you know what it means when I give you the look)
Give me, gotta give me, gotta give me the loot

Can't be me that's givin' the look (me)
Ooh, can't put a price on my waistline
Gotta move on my body (mhm)

Priorities

My first mistake
Thinkin' that I could be everythin'
Look how spreadin' myself thin became
My priority again

I was in the wrong place with the right energy
High off serotonin and callin' it chemistry
So no more takin' one for the team
Please, has to run a hold on the things
Holdin' me back from all that's in

There wasn't a line I wouldn't cross
Was always down to get you what you want
Sayin' it out loud makes no sense but at the time it did
Good intent, but I admit

My first mistake
Thinkin' that I could be everythin'
Look how spreadin' myself thin became
My priority again
Lost (lost) my (my) way (way)
Makin' sure it was you (you) that (that) was straight
Oh-oh, spreadin' myself thin became
My priority again
Oh, ooh

(How many) places can I be once?
(How many) people can I be at once?
(How many) people can I please at once?

There wasn't a line I wouldn't cross
Was always down to get you what you want (get you what you want)
Sayin' it out loud makes no sense but at the time it did
Good intent, but I admit

My first mistake
Thinkin' that I could be everythin'
Look how spreadin' myself thin became
My priority again
Lost (lost) my (my) way (way)
Makin' sure it was you (you) that (that) was straight
Oh-oh, spreadin' myself thin became
My priority again

Oh, ooh
Oh, ooh

To Last

Never thought you'd be that way
Holding on to every small mistake
Can't beg for love to stay
Never thought you'd be my first heartbreak
Don't know what more to say
Family askin' where on earth you've been?
Can't beg for love to stay
My first love is now my first heartbreak

You never gave us a chance
It's like you never wanted to last
You never gave us a chance
It's like you never wanted to last
(To last, to last, to last)
(To last, to last, to last)
(To last, to last, to last)
(To last, to last)

Ripped away a part of me
You left me here to bleed
It's the way you say, "Baby, please hold on to me"
Don't want you to be a memory (oh)

You never gave us a chance
It's like you never wanted to last (oh, oh)
You never gave us a chance
It's like you never wanted to last
To last, to last

To last, to last
