[Refrain]
Quick, what's better than me?
But I don't give a shit what you sayin' to me
Yeah, stay checkin' for me
When you want smoke you can get it for free

[Verse 1]
Don't call
I don't wanna think about us at all
It still hurts way too much
Bleed out
From the knife here in my chest that you left
My heart's not healing up

[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe I'm masochistic
I can't help but love it
It hurts so bad, it hurts so good
Dying all alone, no one will ever know

[Chorus]
Perfect crime, killin' me
'Cause nobody gonna ever see
What you've done, got away
You will never live a guilty day
Perfect crime, crime, crime

[Refrain]
Quick, what's better than me?
But I don't give a shit what you sayin' to me
Yeah, stay checkin' for me
When you want smoke, you can get it for free

[Verse 2]
In the end, I won't need ya
Pourin' up my medicine and tequila
And champagne, know when I'm mixin'
If I don't make it through the night, still be winnin'
I'm okay, one more shot, take the pain away
Thursday night, bottles free
It's the scene of a...

[Chorus]
Perfect crime, killin' me
'Cause nobody gonna ever see
What you've done, got away
You will never live a guilty day

[Post-Chorus]
I need your love, I need your touch
I need a friend
I need a heart, I need a pulse
To breathe again
(No, no, no, no, no)

[Outro]
I come alive in the night, in the moonlight
Yeah, I wanna feel alive with you
Yeah, I wanna shake my ass in the moonlight
Yeah, I'm gonna drop that down with you
Yeah, I wanna see us dance in the moonlight
Yeah, I wanna feel alive with you
Yeah, I wanna see us dance in the moonlight
Yeah, I wanna drop that down with you

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.
