Already Taken
• Written by ElEyeAyEm
(Intro)
Yeah…
I know she got a man…
But I can’t lie to myself—
She been on my mind heavy…
(Verse 1)
She walk in the room, and the whole world pause
Got a smile like summer, heart like a boss
He holdin’ her hand, but I’m bitin’ my tongue
‘Cause if love was a race, I would've already run
Ain’t tryna disrespect, nah, that ain’t me
But the way she laugh, it hit differently
She talk with a vibe, look at me with light
And I wonder if she think about me late at night
He don’t see what I see—he just goin’ through the motions
While I’m sittin’ here drownin’ in emotions
Yeah, I know that line, “don’t mess with what’s taken”
But my heart ain’t good at bein' patient
“Don’t you want me?”
(Chorus)
She already his, but I wish she was mine
Got me dreamin’ in the dark ‘bout another timeline
I don’t wanna break nothin’ that’s whole
But I swear she feel like part of my soul
Already his, so I keep my space
But I get lost in her voice, in her face
Tryna play cool, but I’m losin’ control
How you love what you know you can’t hold?
(Verse 2)
I seen him talk sharp, seen her eyes get low
She deserve somethin’ real, but he movin’ too cold
I’d treat her like a queen, put her first every day
No lies, no games, just truth all the way
But maybe she loyal, maybe she blind
Maybe she happy and I’m outta my mind
Maybe it’s fate playin’ tricks on me
Or maybe she just what I’m never gon’ see
So I write it in these lines, hide it in songs
Love her from a distance, knowin’ it’s wrong
But tell me how do you un-feel what’s real?
When every look she give got me tryin’ to heal
“Don’t you want me?”
(Chorus)
She already his, but I wish she was mine
Got me dreamin’ in the dark ‘bout another timeline
I don’t wanna break nothin’ that’s whole
But I swear she feel like part of my soul
Already his, so I keep my space
But I get lost in her voice, in her face
Tryna play cool, but I’m losin’ control
How you love what you know you can’t hold?
(Bridge)
And if he ever let her go, I’ll be there
No second thoughts, no games, just care
But ‘til then, I’ll just pray and vibe
Keep my feelings lowkey, buried deep inside
(Outro)
Yeah…
Sometimes the heart want what it can’t have
And sometimes, respect mean steppin’ back
