Got doubt?

lyrics

I hate that there's doubt to couple with my fear
That you're a mirage, not an oasis in the clear
I don't know so I'll attempt to approach your space
And hope that you don't turn me away
Cuz the uncertainty's been getting to me lately and I need you

I need you to tell me that we're good
Maybe I've been lying to myself and saying we're alright
Lord, I just need to hear you say we're cool
And I need to feel it deep inside so no one's hate can hide the fact
We're good
Yeah we're good
Say we're good

Guess I'll try my best and still reach out to you
Hope we can be friends, but I think that hurts too
I'm not trying to cross your line but I'm inclined to believe the signs saying
Radio silence means you're not into this so tell me what you're into cuz I need you

I need you to tell me that we're good
Maybe I've been lying to myself and saying we're alright
Lord, I just need to hear you say we're cool
And I need to feel it deep inside so no one can say otherwise

We're good (Good)
We're good (Good)
We're good
All I wanna do is care for you (Good)
But I don't really know how to
All I wanna be is there for you (Good)
But it's so hard to break through
My own insecurities, fears, and the voices that
Tell me so clearly that all of my choices should
Make me feel guilty my only intent though is
Trying to be your son, your friend
Don't wanna assume what you feel
Need you to work with me here
Cuz I can try and try and never get close to making things right so I

I need you to tell me that we're good
Maybe I've been lying to myself and saying we're alright
Lord, I just need to hear you say we're cool
And I need to feel it deep inside so no one's hate can hide the fact
We're good
Yeah we're good
Say we're good

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
