about

The first single from my forthcoming EP

lyrics

[Verse 1]
I miss having your voice around
Hearing you laugh used to make me feel better
But lately you ain’t made a sound
A silence that screams you don’t wanna be together

[Pre-Chorus]
And lately I’ve been talking to the walls
As far as I’m concerned that’s what you are that’s what you are
Concrete’s filling up your heart
So you don’t hear me talk not when I talk

[Chorus]
Prove me wrong x8
I’m suffocating, ain’t no air unless you show me that show you care
Prove me wrong x8
Cuz I don’t wanna be right if it means I can’t be with you tonight

[Verse 2]
I thought I would try honesty
If I put myself out there, maybe you’d reciprocate
But that was naïve, it don’t work that way
Cuz I can’t make you love me
And at the same time, can’t make these feelings go away
Same with the pain

[Pre-Chorus]
And lately I’ve been talking to the walls
As far as I’m concerned that’s what you are that’s what you are
Push me out a plane into free fall
Every time I wait for you to not pick up when I call

[Chorus]
Prove me wrong x8
I’m suffocating, ain’t no air unless you show me that show you care
Prove me wrong x8
Cuz I don’t wanna be right if it means I can’t be with you tonight

[Bridge]
I just wanna be with you tonight x2
Never felt this lost before in my life
Prove me wrong I don’t wanna be right

I just wanna be with you tonight x2
Only gonna waste so much of your time (and mine)
Prove me wrong I don’t wanna be right

I just wanna be with you tonight x2
Call the match I won’t continue to fight
Prove me wrong I don’t wanna be right

I just wanna be with you tonight x2

[Chorus]
Prove me wrong x8 (why do I need you to care so much, why do I need you to care so much)
I’m suffocating, ain’t no air unless you show me that show you care
Prove me wrong x8 (why do I need you to care so much, why do I need you to care so much)
Cuz I don’t wanna be right if it means I’m all alone tonight

[Outro]
Prove me wrong (fade out)

about

Emil Beckford Buffalo, New York

I'm a Buffalo-based alt electronic soul singer/songwriter/producer trying to make music that won't bore me in 5 years. I love synths, fake jazz chords, and singing higher than my vocal chords want me to. I draw inspiration from soul artists, masters of harmony, gospel icons, people who just make you feel some kind of way, and everyone in between. ... more
