Lyrics

[Verse 1]
What shall I do, you confess to me that you feel the same way too girl
Girl, come forth and rock my world
[Verse 2]
I guess I am not over you like I thought I was
Guess I was fooling myself, 'cause I'm still in love
Still in love with you woman, I still have dreams of you and I
Can't get over you woman, no matter how I try
[Verse 3]
It's driving me crazy, thoughts of you with another man
I am losing my lady, so sad I am, I guess I'm not over you
Like I thought I was, I guess I was fooling myself, 'cause I'm still in love
[Verse 4]
Even when I try to myself the things I say wasn't meant to be this way
Love is not a game to play, yes, we went our separate ways, but the memories
Even when I try to myself the things I say wasn't meant to be this way
Love is not a game to play, yes, we went our separate ways, but the memories
[Verse 5]
Treasure yuh body but I cherish yuh mind
Even though it's complicated which is most of the time
A life without your love ain't working out fine
Perception and reality clearly define
A bet you never know the love mi have inna mi heart
We mek simple mistakes tear us apart
Forgetting where we coming from and how it all start
Using harsh words, bitter arrows and sparks
We live inna di same house and we nah talk
We used to be on and now we're totally off
Oh, I wish this was never our past, oh, there is no love lost, know that
[Verse 6]
Even when I try to myself the things I say wasn't meant to be this way
Love is not a game to play, yes, we went our separate ways, but the memories
Even when I try to myself the things I say wasn't meant to be this way
Love is not a game to play, yes, we went our separate ways, but the memories
[Verse 7]
Over many moons since we part
But the memories remain with the love inna mi heart
Care not how many friendships I start, this spot weh yuh touch still tender and soft
To be honest, I do miss the fires and sparks
But I rather to live on rooftop or somewhere in a park
But where did we mess up, realize the blame
She left me a message explaining her pain
She said, I tried, even avoid surrounding distractions and outside noise
But we both make mistakes
And we both lied, oh, and now here we are
[Verse 8]
Even when I try to myself the things I say wasn't meant to be this way
Love is not a game to play, yes, we went our separate ways, but the memories
Even when I try to myself the things I say wasn't meant to be this way
Love is not a game to play, yes, we went our separate ways, but the memories
