background (ft. fripos) is a venture back into relationships, only to be cut off again and to be rejected completely. starved of love and affection, EVACofficial and new collaborator, fripos, combine vocals to produce an emotional yet extremely catchy emo rap song.
lyrics
background
intro:
yeah
haha
im back
hook:
left me in the background
of your heart, (not again)
still wasted my chances
dump me in the background
don’t talk cut you off,
love’s not enough for me
four thousand “read between the lines”
again
(you left me and i don’t need affection)
dump me in the background
don’t talk cut you off,
love’s not enough for me
verse 1:
i guess im wrong
that’s why i wrote this song
tryna run
im tired
figure out why it took so long
hold it down for you, blank favours
cause you took off in minutes, gone for years
pre-chorus:
never worried for a single time
used to take up space in my mind
clear it out, silver borderline
i know you didn’t and i … tried
hook:
left me in the background
of your heart, (not again)
still wasted my chances
dump me in the background
don’t talk cut you off,
love’s not enough for me
four thousand “read between the lines”
again
(you left me and i don’t need affection)
dump me in the background
don’t talk cut you off,
love’s not enough for me
verse 2:
it’s not enough for me baby
so why do I think that I can face it
you always blow me off to take a chance
you’re always out with you’re other mans
just wanna go back to when we made our plans
but I know that you just don’t give a dang
but I know when I try to make amends
you just run off with all of your friends
hook:
left me in the background
of your heart, (not again)
still wasted my chances
dump me in the background
don’t talk cut you off,
love’s not enough for me
four thousand “read between the lines”
again
(you left me and i don’t need affection)
dump me in the background
don’t talk cut you off,
love’s not enough for me
