Andy Mineo - Shallow lyrics

There are so many things
That I don't understand
Like why am I so lost if I have a captain?
I'm tossed back and forth by deceitful winds
And if it all falls, look within
I've been breaking hearts way too long
I did this from the start, now I'm all alone
So focus on the heart if you want a home
I can't settle for that cardboard box no more

Early Christmas morning at the
Table with my momma
Steam's coming off the coffee
We talking about the father
These are the conversations I cherish
And I hold on to she asked me
"Is there a girl in your
Life that you're fond of?" well, not yet
Feels like I'm looking for the Lochness
I ain't even really got a prospect
I don't think I found what I want yet


But let me be blunt, no pothead
I'm going through a process to
Stop seeing women as objects
Cause the meaning of marriage is not sex
It's so much more
This ain't no beauty contest
When you play that game then
Somebody's always got next
If charm is deceiving and beauty's vain
Then I bet the standards that we judge most
People with are nonsense

I put too much emphasis on my preferences
Dang, I'm feeling shallow
Just addressing this
Cause God loves me in spite of how
Much a mess I am is
And I'm writing off shorties whose
Bodies is less impressive like, dang
I'm caught up in this game again
She's asking if we're more than friends
Why is this happening?
I don't know if she the one
But, I don't wanna lose her love
I'm caught up in this game again
She's asking if we're more than friends
Why is this happening?
I don't know if she the one
But, I don't wanna lose her love

Cooling back in '01
High school mac was so fun
Making chicks my baby, then on
To the next one, jay-Z '01 turned to '04
Late night games at your dorm
Let's take a walk, your girls hating
We're just flirting, we ain't dating
'04 turned to '06, and you're so sick
Asking me, "Is that your chick?"
And I'm like, "Yes
Finna put her in a white dress"
And you cry, I loved you, I ain't mean it
But, I said it
Now I'm married with a trail of
Broken hearts and I regret it, dang
Should've treated you like you
Was God's daughter
Cause you was, but I got caught up
Now I got karma
Comma, 2012 and now I got daughters
And I'd kill the dude that ever
Do them like I did you
Laundry list of names
That's too long to mention
But, I'm the one need cleansing
I did my dirt
And then some pain was never intention
I pray for your forgiveness
Thank God He saved me from my
Sin but not the consequences, dang

I'm caught up in this game again
She's asking if we're more than friends
Why is this happening?
I don't know if she the one
But, I don't wanna lose her love
I'm caught up in this game again
She's asking if we're more than friends
Why is this happening?
I don't know if she the one
But, I don't wanna lose her love

There are so many things
That I don't understand
Like why am I so lost if I have a captain
I'm tossed back and forth by deceitful winds
And if it all falls, look within
I've been breaking hearts way too long
I did this from the start, now I'm all alone
So focus on the heart if you want a home
I can't settle for that cardboard box no more

I'm caught up in this game again
She's asking if we're more than friends
Why is this happening?
I don't know if she the one
But, I don't wanna lose her love
I'm caught up in this game again
She's asking if we're more than friends
Why is this happening?
I don't know if she the one
But, I don't wanna lose her love

And all the boys said, and all the boys said
And all the boys again
All I really know is I don't know what I want
Caught up in this game again
And all the boys said, and all the boys said
All I really know is I don't know what I want
