[Verse 1]
I'm a beggar taking scraps from your table, oh
Got me digging through the trash
Feeling fatal, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
Told each other we would keep it casual
But just enough was not enough
Shoulda known we couldn't keep it physical
We're breaking up from hooking up

[Chorus]
Now I'm a prisoner for you love
I'm either tragic or beautiful
Just being second is not enough
Don't leave me hanging on, hanging on
Now I'm a prisoner for your love
I'm either tragic or beautiful
Just being second is not enough
Don't leave me hanging on, hanging on, yeah
Don't leave me hanging on, hanging on, yeah
Don't leave me hanging on, hanging on, yeah

[Verse 2]
Said I'd never strike the match
Now we're burning, oh
Thought I wouldn't get attached
Now I'm learning I can't do that

[Pre-Chorus]
Told each other we would keep it casual
But just enough was not enough
Shoulda known we couldn't keep it physical
We're breaking up from hooking up

[Chorus]
Now I'm a prisoner for you love
I'm either tragic or beautiful
Just being second is not enough
Don't leave me hanging on, hanging on
Now I'm a prisoner for your love
I'm either tragic or beautiful
Just being second is not enough
Don't leave me hanging on, hanging on, yeah
(Don't leave me, don't leave me, don't leave me, don't leave me)
Don't leave me hanging on, hanging on, yeah
(Don't leave me, don't leave me, don't leave me, don't leave me)
Don't leave me hanging on, hanging on, yeah

[Bridge]
Yeah, every time I got my eyes closed
I can see you in my dirty mind
And it's really so irrational
Got a call for you to make you mine
Don't leave me hanging on, no

[Chorus]
Now I'm a prisoner for your love
I'm either tragic or beautiful
Just being second is not enough
Don't leave me hanging on, hanging on
Now I'm a prisoner for you love
I'm either tragic or beautiful
Just being second is not enough
Don't leave me hanging on, hanging on

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.
