[Verse 1]
It's the wanting you, never getting you
Keeps me wanting you
Missing you, just to picture you
Is what gets me through
Fit for you, I was meant for you
What I was sent to do, meant to do
Wasn't meant for you
Hope I set the ship right
'Cause if I never had you
Then I could never lose you
Do you know what might happen
If I decide to choose you?
Then the world may just stop spinning
It may just well be the ending
Talking all about existence, who knows?
But I cannot see tomorrow
If you're not in my tomorrow, uh-oh

[Chorus]
I'm tryna save the world
How can I when
You belong to me, I belong to them?
Who do I give me to? Who do I let win?
You or the world?
You or the world?

[Post-Chorus]
Your light shines so bright it's like two stars colliding
We'll only survive if we fight it, don't fight it
Your light shines so bright it's like two stars colliding
We'll only survive if we fight it, don't fight it, yeah

[Verse 2]
'Cause if I really have to
Then you know I would choose you
Do you know what would happen
If I ever lose you?
Then my heart would just stop beating
And my mind would just stop thinking
And my strengths would turn to weakness, you know
That I cannot see tomorrow
If you're not in my tomorrow, uh-oh

[Chorus]
I gotta save the world
How can I when
You belong to me but I belong to them?
Who do I give me to? Who do I let win?
You or the world?
You are my world

Jhené Aiko Efuru Chilombo (born March 16, 1988) started her career under the moniker Jhené Aiko when she was 13 with the music group B2K. She explained how she later opted out of the deal to go back to high school and have her daughter Namiko in an interview back in July 2012 with Lozza

I was signed with Sony/EPIC when I was 12 years old and got a release from them when I was about 15 or 16 to focus on school. I started writing more and I had a child who’s now three years old.

After the failed release of her debut album, My Name Is Jhené back in 2003, Jhené released her debut mixtape, Sailing Soul(s) on March 16, 2011.
