[Verse 1]
Every time we drew our lines
They grew legs and walked themselves down the road
Boundaries is my middle name
I give respect where it's asked or it's shown

[Pre-Chorus]
Something 'bout our exchange
It's a fight to act like you weren't in mind, or mine
Never want to complain, love you with your wings babe
These are your skies

[Chorus]
But then there was the blood from your heart on my hands again
Though I swore I washed it off in the waves
And I wish I was sorry, damn I wish I was sorry
That I don't know how to stay away, stay away

[Verse 2]
Oh, if only you knew just how you taste
Oh, if only you'd seen you walk away
Oh I'd follow you into yesterday
Then miles away
And I pray for the love that we had underneath
When we both promised not to waste love arguing
I love you more than I ever could say

[Pre-Chorus]
And something about our exchange
It's a fight to act like you weren't in mind, or mine
And I never want to complain
Love you with your wings babe
These are your skies, your skies

[Chorus]
And there was the blood from your heart on my hands again
Though I swore I washed it out in the rain
And I wish I was sorry, damn I wish I was sorry
That I don't know how to stay away

[Bridge]
And don't say you don't want no problems
Can't hear through what I say
Say you want it your way
Always has been your way when it comes to me
Gun play, use my heart against me always
We can't seem to hold space
No way

[Chorus]
The blood from your heart on my hands again
Though I swore I washed it off in the waves
I wish I was sorry, damn I wish I was sorry
That I don't know how to stay away, stay away

Kehlani

Oakland R&B singer Kehlani Parrish, better known as just Kehlani, first found fame on America’s Got Talent in 2011. Her group Poplyfe reached the final, losing to Landau Murphy.

Kehlani left Poplyfe after the show, but her solo career stalled for contractual reasons. She finally released her début solo project, Cloud 19, in 2014. A breezy, poppy mixtape, Cloud 19 flew largely under the radar, although Complex described it as “outstanding.”

2015 was Kehlani’s break-out year. Her sophomore mixtape, You Should Be Here, featured Chance The Rapper and BJ The Chicago Kid. It earned her national attention and even a Grammy nomination for Best Urban Contemporary, although it ultimately lost out to Beauty Behind the Madness by The Weeknd.
