Mhhhmmmh, uh, uh
Give me something boy, give me something
Give me something ccause, boy, it don't feel right
I'm getting nothing, boy, getting nothing
I'm getting nothing and giving all of my might

I know you see me baby, I know you feel my baby
I know you hear me when I call your name, baby

Give me something boy, give me something
Give me something cuz boy it don't feel right
I'm getting nothing, boy, getting nothing
I'm getting nothing and giving all of my might

Act like you want me baby or tell me something's wrong
I'm tryna let you in but we're just too far gone

Too far gone, oh just too far gone (long gone)
Too far gone, oh just too far gone (long gone)

And I love you more than air it's true
Cause I know you probably think I lied
There’s just one thing that I gotta say to you

I want you to know that I tried, I tried, I tried
I want you to know that I tried, I tried, I tried
I want you to know that...

Uhm, give me something boy, give me something
Give me something cuz boy it don't feel right
I'm getting nothing, boy, getting nothing
I'm getting nothing and giving all of my might

Why do I put myself through this again and again? No

Give me something boy, give me something
Give me something cuz boy it don't feel right
I'm getting nothing, boy, getting nothing
I'm getting nothing and giving all of my might

I end up like "Why did I waste my time tryna make it right?"
When I know we're just too far gone for this oh

Too far gone, oh just too far gone (long gone)
Too far gone, oh just too far gone (long gone)

And I love you more than air it's true
Cause I know you probably think I lied
There’s just one thing that I gotta say to you

I want you to know that I tried, I tried, I tried
I want you to know that I tried, I tried, I tried
I want you to know that...

You just don't know what you got
And when I leave you're gonna see whether you like it or not
And all you secrets that I keep you can consider forgot
It’s not a concern to me what all your business is 'bout anymore
So leave the key in its usual spot by the door
And if you please lock it on the way out if you
Forget anything, I guess then, baby, you're fucked
Cause unless I can sell it, consider it chucked, uh

It’s such a shame that you're gone
But it's a goddamn tragedy I waited so long
To kick your ungrateful ass out of my house and my life
Boy you were trippin' when you promised you gon' make me your wife
And so you'll never see me crying over you anymore
I hope your next girlfriend is a cheat and a whore
And when you're picking up the pieces of your broken heart
You’ll curse the day I went away and everything fell apart

It’s such a shame that you're gone
But it's a goddamn tragedy I waited so long
To kick your ungrateful ass out of my house and my life
Boy you were trippin' when you promised you gon' make me your wife
And so you'll never see me crying over you anymore
I hope your next girlfriend is a cheat and a whore
And when you're picking up the pieces of your broken heart
You’ll curse the day I want away and everything fell apart

I want you to know that I tried, I tried, I tried
I want you to know that I tried, I tried, I tried,Oh
I want you to know that...

Tinashe

Tinashe Jorgenson Kachingwe, known mononymously as Tinashe, is an American singer-songwriter, actress, dancer, and former model born in Lexington, Kentucky and raised in Los Angeles, California.

Born on February 6, 1993, her rise to fame began with her acting on shows such as Two and a Half Men. Initially making her debut in the music industry via the short-lived girl group The Stunners—which also featured Hayley Kiyoko—she garnered attention from online music blogs with her 2012 mixtape, In Case We Die. Signing with RCA Records shortly after, she released two further mixtapes later that year and in 2013: Reverie and Black Water respectively. “2 On” was released in January 2014 as the lead single from her debut album, Aquarius, and remains her biggest solo single to date. Released in October that year, the album was praised by critics for its merging of old-school R&B sounds and fresh 2010s trends. The follow-up was subjected to much-criticised although “Player” was billed as the collection’s lead single as early as October 2015, songs released from the project failed to reach the label’s expectations, resulting in the release of an album’s worth of outtakes from the album, Nightride, in November 2016. Joyride was finally released on April 13: it features the singles “No Drama”, “Faded Love” and “Me So Bad”.

On February 18, 2019, Tinashe parted ways with her longtime record label RCA. By November that year, she inked a new management deal with Roc Nation and self-released Songs for You, her fourth studio album.
