Go Now

(Verse 1)
I dyed my hair that peachy-brown (mmm, peachy)
To remind you of the sweetness you forgot (yeah, babe).
You love when the night is full (full of it),
Full of the flowers I drown myself in (gardenias…).
Peonies running through my veins (ohh),
Perfume heavy like the summer rain.

(Pre-Chorus)
But you don’t see what’s inside of me (nah, nah),
You don’t see the pain, the quiet agony (baby).

(Chorus)
I once had a fire (I had a fire),
It burned like the sun (so bright, so bright).
I once had a fire (uh-huh),
But I killed it for your love (mmm, for you).

I once had a fire (I had it, I had it),
That lit up the night (all night long).
I once had a fire (fire, fire),
But I smothered it for your life (for you, baby).

(Verse 2)
They say I’m too fucked up to love you (fuck it),
And maybe they’re right (maybe, maybe).
Nobody knows the weight of the sacrifice I made (sacrifice).
Like a dying star fading from the sky (fallin’ down),
I’ll explode, turn to dust— (ohh)
Maybe then I’ll be someone you like (maybe, babe).

(Pre-Chorus)
But you don’t see what’s inside of me (inside of me),
You don’t see the grief or the tragedy (so heavy).
You don’t see what’s killing me quietly (quietly, quietly),
And you don’t want to (don’t wanna know).

(Chorus)
I once had a fire (I had a fire),
It burned like the sun (so bright, so bright).
I once had a fire (uh-huh),
But I killed it for your love (mmm, for you).

I once had a fire (I had it, I had it),
That lit up the night (all night long).
I once had a fire (fire, fire),
But I smothered it for your life (for you, baby).

(Bridge)
You never liked the way I spoke (never did),
Or the way I gasped for breath when I choked (ooh).
You don’t get it—no, you don’t get it (nah, nah).
You don’t wanna get it, or get me (don’t wanna, don’t wanna).
I won’t fucking explain it (no),
Love’s supposed to be soft, not a war (soft, not a war).
You’ll never get it, no you won’t get it (never, babe).
And when you finally do— (yeah),
I’ll be long gone, baby (gone, gone).

(Outro)
I once had a fire (I had it, I had it),
It burned like the sun (so bright, so bright).
I once had a fire (uh-huh, yeah),
But I killed it for your love (mmm, for you).

You don't get it

Ne-Yo, the three-time GRAMMY® Award-winning R&B hitmaker, iconic songwriter, actor, entrepreneur, and philanthropist, has sold a cumulative 20+ million adjusted albums worldwide. His debut single, 2005’s “So Sick,” hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was certified quadruple Platinum. Since then, the Motown Records/Compound Entertainment recording artist has racked up a collection of hits including “Sexy Love,” “Closer,” “Because of You,” “Miss Independent,” and “Push Back” [feat. Bebe Rexha and Stefflon Don]. Three of his albums have entered SoundScan’s Top Current Albums chart at No. 1. Ne-Yo has also proven to be as powerful with his pen as he is in the studio and on stage. The Las Vegas native quickly became known as a go-to hitmaker, penning bangers like Rihanna’s “Unfaithful,” “Russian Roulette,” and “Take a Bow,” along with Beyoncé’s 2006 breakup anthem “Irreplaceable” and songs for such artists as Jennifer Hudson, Usher, Carrie Underwood, and Celine Dion, among others. Ne-Yo’s film and television credits include NBC’s World of Dance, Empire, Stomp the Yard, Save the Last Dance, Battle: Los Angeles, George Lucas' Red Tails, The Wiz Live!, and Starz’ Step Up: High Water. Most recently, Ne-Yo released a slew of new singles – “Stay Down” [feat. Yung Bleu], “Don’t Love Me,” and “You Got the Body” – paving the way for his anxiously awaited eighth album, Self Explanatory, due out July 15, 2022
