Shifted Lyrics

I listen to what my mama said, yeah
Always been down for a challenge since, yeah
He said it's all 'bout the balance
When you talkin' love and the drama
You just can let it control your life, no

Took it on the heart and now I'm here with you
Twist my body, trippin' jumpin' through your hoops
Know I go full crazy but I'm tired too
I just can't let it control my life, no

Yeah, give me a sin, think you're pulling me in
I'm not feeling your love, done putting in work
Yeah, sick of waiting, yeah, I'm sick of waiting
When you shifted your love, done putting in work
Yeah, I'm done, done, I'm done, done putting in work
Yeah, I'm done, done, I'm done, done putting in work
Yeah, give me a sin, think you're pulling me in
I'm not feeling your love, done putting in work
Yeah

My mama was full of shit, what?
Or did I miss the whole point of it? No
I don't need your validation
It's just the physical pleasure
I just can't let it control my life, no

Took it on the heart and now I'm here with you
Twist my body, trippin' jumpin' through your hoops
Know I go full crazy but I'm tired too
I just can't let it control my life, no

Yeah, give me a sin, think you're pulling me in
I'm not feeling your love, done putting in work
Yeah, sick of waiting, yeah, I'm sick of waiting
When you shifted your love, done putting in work
Yeah, I'm done, done, I'm done, done putting in work
Yeah, I'm done, done, I'm done, done putting in work
Yeah, give me a sin, think you're pulling me in
I'm not feeling your love, done putting in work
Yeah

Still hanging but the heat's dyin' down
I'm sick of grabbin' you all over town
Like what you did to me there for a while
I just can't let it control my life, no

Yeah, give me a sin, think you're pulling me in
I'm not feeling your love, done putting in work
Yeah, sick of waiting, yeah, I'm sick of waiting
When you shifted your love, done putting in work
Yeah, I'm done, done, I'm done, done putting in work
Yeah, I'm done, done, I'm done, done putting in work
Yeah, give me a sin, think you're pulling me in
I'm not feeling your love, done putting in work
Yeah

What is the Meaning of Shifted?

In this evocative track, Tove Lo delves into the complexities of love and personal boundaries.

The protagonist grapples with the conflicting advice from her mother and her own experiences, ultimately deciding to reject a one-sided relationship that drains her emotionally.

This song is an anthem for anyone tired of being weighed down by unbalanced relationships and ready to reclaim control over their life. #SelfWorth #EmotionalLiberation #ToxicRelationships
