[Verse 1: Khalid]

I feel like I'm losing you whenever I'm offline

Though I never had you, I used to pretend that you're mine

I feel like there's nothing for me here, but still, I try

I feel like there's nothing for me here, but still, I try

Bruising my finger hitting your line

If I'm holding back, I might just lose my mind (So alone)

[Chorus: Khalid & SAFE]

Keeping my phone alive (Alive)

Hoping that you call this time (Oh, I)

Thought I heard your ringing (You)

You know I hear things sometimes

Call my line, call my line

Come alive, come alive

Show me, don't pretend

Show me, don't pretend

Show me, don't pretend


[Verse 2: Khalid]

Keepin' you on my radar

Lately, you're so damn cold

You used to hold me down

You're far, so it's been a while

I still remember your voice

How you talk so soft in the morning

You're the only one I'm wanting

Love stays still and I'm frozen

But I'm opening thoughts that I keep within

I guess I gotta be a man

I tried as hard as I can

[Chorus: Khalid & SAFE]

Keeping my phone alive (You)

Hoping that you call this time

Thought I heard you ringin'

You know I hear things sometimes

Call my line, call my line

Come alive, come alive

Show me, don't pretend

Show me, don't pretend

Show me, don't pretend

Show me, don't pretend

Show me, don't pretend (Come alive, oh yeah)

Show me, don't pretend (Yeah, yeah)

Show me, don't pretend
