Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's hard to talk about somethin' that I don't believe in
L-O-V-E, can you tell me what's the meanin'?
I've been dreamin', how the fuck was you that deceitful?
I didn't see it
Hard for me to paint a picture, you'll just have to meet him
[Verse 2]
Gave my all to you, wanted to give more to you
Should've been honest with yourself, nobody was forcin' you
I ain't even mad at you, Chuck, I'm just mad at me
Should've known better, mummy taught me better strategies
[Verse 3]
Still it burns, guess it's a blessin' and a curse
Life goes on, this another lesson learned
Mind switched on, you can hear it in a verse, right?
B will never know how much it really hurts
[Verse 4]
Images so vivid, so clear, oh my dear
You have no idea who I know here
Think fast, be on your A-game
Silly for me to think we was on the same page
[Verse 5]
You really don't know anybody these days
She stays for his sake, a sweet face
Mind spinnin', the clock tickin', my soul missin'
Did well to convince me that your soul different
[Verse 6]
Give someone an inch and they will take a mile
It might take a while, now I see you've approached this in a faker style
This must be the apocalypse, feels like the world's endin'
Who am I? I'm a mess, more sinnin', more spendin'
[Verse 7]
More down days tryna make it through the seventh
Can't believe you almost got rid of my independence
Type of fuckery will you have look at yourself
And start second guessin'
[Verse 8]
Now I'm on crud like shit will get messy if you ever get to testin'
But really, I'm a sensitive soul and I'll stress it
What happens when someone takes advantage of that?
Lost part of myself and I can't get her back
[Verse 9]
Oh my love, I've been waiting
For you to run back home, oh
Oh my love, I've been investigating
If you went and found new love, oh
[Verse 10]
How the fuck you get twang, Sims? You're smarter than that
But you don't see it when you're in it, that's the hardest of facts
I can't relax, my heart racin'
'Member when I heard the news? I just couldn't face it
[Verse 11]
If we ever talk again, it's on a last name basis
I know where to place you, I'm just tryna understand it
I don't wanna hear you, guess you had to do what you had to do
But just know, nobody rates you
[Verse 12]
Keyword in all of this is you
I wonder what I did for me, I hardly remember me
What a waste of chemistry, energy and empathy
Wonder when you plan to let me know about her pregnancy
[Verse 13]
You have no integrity, emotion, or respect for me
Clearly wasn't meant to be, this all temporary
This the clearest I've seen it, was bound to end eventually
Still, it hurts tremendously, can't bear the intensity
[Verse 14]
Oh my love, I've been waiting
For you to run back home, oh
Oh my love, I've been investigating
If you went and found new love, oh
[Verse 15]
I kept quiet 'bout the situation, but now I'm sayin' my piece though
Nothin' lasts forever, there's me actin' like I didn't know
I can't do relationships for Instagram
Posin' like my life is perfect, really, it's the opposite
[Verse 16]
Lately I've been down a lot, I talk to no one about it
Can't even write about it, damn this writer's block
Hittin' me like never before, still I record, been in the raw
Smokin' just to take my mind all off
Everything that I should've been mindful of
[Verse 17]
Everything that I've enjoyed in life, I'm a survivor of
Makin' sure to understand the small print before I sign it off
You was meant to be in my Grammy speech, your entire loss
I'll just keep it real, truth won't be concealed
[Verse 18]
Please don't listen to this and ask me if I'm hurtin'
Or if I'm okay, allow me to be human and in my feels
Chill, I'm good, I got it, I never lost it
Or am I just lyin' to myself to skip the topic?
[Verse 19]
Oh my love, I've been waiting
For you to run back home, oh
Oh my love, I've been investigating
If you went and found new love, oh
[Verse 20]
Oh my love, I've been waiting
For you to run back home, oh
Oh my love, I've been investigating
If you went and found new love, oh
[Verse 21]
Your heart cries
At night alone
Your heart cries
At night alone
