Backburner

All the lovers that I got stay steamin' in the pot
I been cookin' like Joycetta
My love's got a long shelf life
Finna be leftovers in the oven
Bring a tupperware when you come over
Yeah I make a lotta food but this recipe
It's meant for you
Yeah it's only you you say
I spread myself too thin
Maybe my love's too diluted
Yeah I get jealous when she sees you naked
Guess I can dish it out but I can't take it
My jealousy is teachin' me the empty cups that need filling
My jealousy is teachin' me my needs
Won't you stay with me
I'm stretchin' out to meet you where you are
Won't you reach for me
Don't lie to yourself babe if it's too far
I still think about
The family we almost made
Vacations we ain't take
I know it hurts that I didn't stay
I understand if you can't forgive me
I still keep the flame on with the lid
I still keep your name warm on my lips
You hate to hear me say it but
I hope we can be friends
You wouldn't feel so anxious
I wouldn't be so strained
I'd be the best to you that way
It's not the end for us I pray
My jealousy is teachin' me the empty cups that need filling
My jealousy is teachin' me my needs
Won't you stay with me
I'm stretchin' out to meet you where you are
Won't you reach for me
Don't lie to yourself babe if it's too far
Won't you stay with me
Won't you stay for now
I'm stretchin' out to meet
You where you are won't you stay for now
Won't you reach for me won't you stay for now
Don't lie to yourself babe
If it's too far won't you stay for now
Won't you stay with me
If I could stay with you
I'd be better to you
We could make it alright
Won't you reach for me
Let me stay with you
I wanna reach for you
I'll be right there by your side
Won't you stay with me
I could stay with you
I'd be better to you
We could make it alright
Won't you reach for me
Let me stay with you
I wanna reach for you
I'll be right there by your side
