Songtext Recognize Russ

Recognize

Do you recognize me through your half cut eyes when I'm just a stranger in your apartment?
Do you recognize me when the daylight burns just like a knee-slide on your carpet?
Could I still be cool when your texts won't send?
When I'm jaded, wasted, but on the mend
I'll be cool, nothing to lose
But I still care for you (Yeah)

Okay, he's gotten her a lot, but, she can tell he doesn't get it (Mm-mm-hmm)
Trips and gifts, but she just wants him to be present (Mm-hmm)
Acceptin' it 'cause she just tryna keep the peace (Mm-hmm)
But she disrespects herself the more she lets it be beneath her standards
She's lookin' for answers (Mm-mm-hmm)
Different love languages, he don't understand her (Mm-hmm)
Emotional negligence, she lives in his residence (Mm-hmm)
She don't wanna be maintained, she wants to be connected with (Fuck)

Hard to take it day by day 'cause really she's been here for months (Mm-mm-hmm)
Know his life's a blur, but once just focus just on her for once (Mm-hmm)
He makes her feel like she's not interestin', she's talkin', he's not there (Mm-hmm)
Now she's missin' him and how it used to be back when he cared
She know exactly how she wanna feel (Mm-mm-hmm)
She know exactly that this ain't that (Mm-hmm)
She feels like a ghost and she wanna feel real (Mm-hmm)But she lookin' at him and he won't look back, oh

Do you recognize me through your half cut eyes when I'm just a stranger in your apartment?
Do you recognize me when the daylight burns just like a knee-slide on your carpet?
Could I still be cool when your texts won't send?
When I'm jaded, wasted, but on the mend
I'll be cool, nothing to lose
But I still care for you

He got his needs too, he needs to feel seen to (Mm-mm-hmm)
If he don't get gassed up, he starts losin' steam too (Mm-hmm)
Physically rejected, every day, he feels unwanted (Yeah, mm-hmm)
He don't even try no more, it adds up, he's exhausted
From lovers to roommates, startin' to lose faith (Mm-mm-hmm)
Wonderin' if he should leave, he already lives out a suitcase (Mm-hmm)
Physical negligence, he lives in his residence (Mm-hmm)
He don't want a thank you card, he just wants her to have sex with him, for real

Hard to take it day by day 'cause really it's been this for month (Mm-mm-hmm)
Knows it's hard for her, but wants her to approach him just for once (Mm-hmm)
She makes him feel like he's not worthy of affection and it hurts (Mm-hmm)
Now he's contemplatin' leavin', but he never leave her first
He knows exactly how he wanna feel (Mm-mm-hmm)
He knows exactly that this ain't that (Mm-hmm)
He feels like a ghost to her, he wanna feel real (Mm-hmm)
But he's lookin' at her and she won't look back, oh

Do you recognize me? (Oh)
(Oh, yeah, yeah)

We can't keep playin' chicken with each other's needs
Halfway between fear of mind is where we gotta meet
I don't know what it's gonna take for us to see
We're mirrors for each other's blind spots
Yeah, yeah, yeah
We might be patient but time's not
It's on me, no, it's on you, no, it's on us, we know what we gotta do

Oh (Mm-mm-hmm)
Yeah, yeah (Mm-hmm)
(Mm-mm-hmm)
(Mm-hmm)
