"Befour"
By Zayn
I don't drink to get drunk
I feel all the right funk
If there's something I want
I'll take all the right wrongs
Now I'm gonna stay in my zone
I'm tired of picking that bone
And I can't be bothered
To fight it no more, no
Numb on a roof
Set it on fire
Just to give me proof
I'm living on a wire
Chorus
So say what you wanna say
What you want now
So say what you wanna say
What you gotta say now
So say what you wanna say
What you want
Shame is you won't say that to my face
I've done this before
Not like this, not like this
Time for me to move on
So many hours have gone
Heart beats the pump of my blood
No strings for you to pull on
You've got your tongue in your cheek
So pardon if I don't speak
Can't tune my chords
Into your song, no
(Chorus)
In his latest single, "Befour," Zayn is ready to move on in life. He just wants the people around him to be honest and straightforward.
