Lyrics
Verse 1
(Yeah... uh)
Talkin' to you feels like talkin' to a wall,
I'm layin' out my dreams, you don't listen at all.
Tryna show you vision, tryna let you in,
But you'd rather drift away than see where I begin.
Pre-Hook
(Yeah, yeah)
I just want your love, want your energy,
But you don't even see the best in me.
Every word I say just fades in the night,
Girl, I can't keep beggin' for your eyes.
Hook
You don't pay me (nah)... no attention (yeah),
Never ride for... my ambition.
I'm starved for connection (connection),
But you lost in your own dimension.
Gave you my heart, all of my time (all of my time),
But you don't... pay me no mind.
Verse 2
(Look)
I been grindin' late nights, buildin' piece by piece,
But you never ask me nothin', don't believe in me.
Everything I'm doin', girl, it's for us two,
But it's hard to build a kingdom when it's just one roof.
Pre-Hook
Tell me, why you actin' like love is blind?
Why you never stand on the front lines?
Can't keep fightin' for a spark that won't light,
I need your faith right here tonight.
Hook
You don't pay me (uh)... no attention,
Never ride for... my ambition.
I'm starved for connection (connection),
But you lost in your own dimension.
Gave you my heart, all of my time,
But you don't... pay me no mind (no mind, yeah).
Bridge
(Maybe one day) you'll finally see,
I was buildin' the world with you next to me.
But if you can't love me the way I need (the way I need),
I'ma spread these wings and set me free (yeah).
Final Hook
You don't pay me (don't pay me)... no attention,
Never ride for (never ride)... my ambition.
I'm starved for connection (starved for connection),
But you lost in your own dimension.
Gave you my love, gave you my time (all of my time),
But you don't... pay me no mind (no mind, no mind).
Outro
(Yeah... don't pay me no mind)
(No mind, no mind)
Girl, you don't pay me... no mind.
