Or Else

I only make love to other people
To fill the space you're not inside
It's only time you'd never fill
And energy you can't provide

They do things I could never ask
From you as outside your game
I save the time for you to ready
What you've got besides a name

Just because I make love to them
Doesn't mean I love you any less
It's only space you'd never fill
A thirst you'd never quench

They do things for me I'd never ask of you -
For you to move past yourself
I save the times with you to steady
My nerves were shaking or else

(or else/nerves/shake all night/or else)

Just because I still funk other people
Doesn't mean I need more than you
But you leave spaces inside me untouched
So I shave them where people see through

(vamp on share/where)

Because I make love to other people
It's only things you can't provide
