(Umm, yeah)

[Verse 1]
Looking for a reason to just make a scene
So when I am leaving it will be easy
Saying that you need me
Look me in my eyes
Something and he knows it
Before I go
Before you love me

[Verse 2]
Got what I believed in
Every single time
Followed all my feelings
Look where it left me
Screaming that you need me
Look me in my eyes
This will be the hardest

[Hook]
Now I hate the quiet
Now my phone don't vibrate
That’s what you lose when you leave someone
Lying next to liars
Leaving all the lights on
That's what you lose when you leave someone

[instrumental section]

[Refrain]
Do I really miss you is it just the space
Filling up the empty with bottles of Moet

[Pre-hook]
Wait up till four in the morning
Night after night you're not calling
I thought for sure you would call first
I’m second guessing..

[Hook]
Now I hate the quiet
Now my phone don't vibrate
That's what you lose when you leave someone
Lying next to liars
Leaving all the lights on
That's what you lose when you leave someone

[instrumental-vocal section]
(mmmm)
(mmmm)

[Pre-hook]
Wait up till four in the morning
Night after night you're not calling
I thought for sure you would call first
I'm second guessing now..

[Pre-hook]
Wait up till four in the morning
Night after night you're not calling
I thought for sure you would call first
I'm second guessing now..

[Hook]
If I hate the quiet
Now my phone don’t vibrate
That’s what you lose when you leave someone
Lying next to liars
Leaving all the lights on
That's what you lose when you leave someone

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.
