Lyrics: 
So Tell me... why I should choose to stay 
When u keep on treating me in this way 
I am Stuck in a game that I don’t even to play 
So tell me... Why I should not just walk away 

I get so stuck inside my head
This overthinking sends me west
Obsess bout everything you said 
And what I could've said instead

Lyrics:
(Talking) For the longest time I thought I wanted to be loved,
But then I realized I actually just don't want anyone to make me feel
unloved
I just don't want anyone to make me feel unloved
What’s meant for me won’t pass me by
Kinda like when you give me the eye
My lover please don't make me cry
Don't wanna find the good in bye
When you get distant i don't pry
Unfinished business i know why
My lover please don't make me cry
Don't wanna find the good in bye
I got a feeling that you have
Unfinished business somewhere else
I understand and give you grace
Nobody comes with a clean slate
You only kiss me late at night
Somehow that proves my thinking right
I got a feeling that you have
Unfinished business somewhere else
Somewhere else
Somewhere
I got a feeling that you have
Unfinished business somewhere else
I understand and give you grace
Nobody comes with a clean slate
You only kiss me late at night
Somehow that proves my thinking right
I got a feeling that you have
Unfinished business somewhere elseDecode every word that’s said
We get so inside our own head
Deep breath no need for defense
This life really dont make no sense
Decode every word that’s said
We get so inside our own head
Deep breath no need for defense
This life really dont make no sense
Got a feeling that you have
Unfinished business somewhere else
Got a feeling that you have
Unfinished business somewhere else
Got a feeling that you have
Unfinished business somewhere else
Got a feeling that you have
Unfinished business somewhere else
I got a feeling that you have
Unfinished business somewhere else
I understand and give you grace
Nobody comes with a clean slate
You only kiss me late at night
Somehow that proves my thinking right
I got a feeling that you have
Unfinished business somewhere else
