Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I knew he wasn't the one, but it was the history
That kept me from running, I know
We be so caught up and comfortable that
(Ay, Heavy turn the beat up, though) We forget to be who we were before then
Man, it's funny how love works
Especially when you thought that love would work
You know somebody's gonna get hurt
(MK, get that shit up, then) And you just pray that it ain't you first
[Verse 2]
Look, I said I always find out, and I'm never surprised
Look at the **** you be gassin', I was never yo' type
I could hurt you bad, and I could show you how it feel, ****
I can really go and put this **** on a real ****
I wanna thank you for revealing your colors
Now I can take my time to heal, and I can finally recover
Change myself, all for the sake of this relationship
You envious and insecure, you deserve a basic ****
History ain't **** when the love ain't in it
That's the reason why I'm always screaming, "**** these ****"
Man, you the reason, if I leave, I won't trust these ****
Honestly speaking, all honesty, I'm done with these ****
Ain't gotta tell 'em what you did, gonna talk yo' ****
****, I'm good regardless, with or without that ****
I gave too much, I overplayed my part too fast
Regardless of my qualities, none of this love **** last
And that's on God
[Verse 3]
I knew he wasn't the one, but it was the history
That kept me from running, I know
We be so caught up and comfortable that
We forget to be who we were before then
Man, it's funny how love works
Especially when you thought that love would work
You know somebody's gonna get hurt
And you just pray that it ain't you first
[Verse 4]
Ay, they say this love **** dangerous, somebody get hurt
Instead of being broken-hearted, I should've **** off first
But I'm solid as a ****, so I'ma do you one worse
Like **** a love song, 'cause I'ma put my heart in this verse
I'm a hundred times better than them **** that you entertain
Good **** and my head on straight, I deserve a wedding ring
I can't take you back, 'cause this **** won't ever be the same
Spoiled you with loyalty, you never bought me **** but pain
Wondering why it's **** you? I got a hundred reasons
For example, you said you loved me, and you didn't mean it
But I can only blame myself, I was naive believin'
That a **** could ever change after I caught him cheatin'
I put you on to all that new, I showed you **** you never seen
I gave you everything you wanted, gave you everything you need
I thought I created somethin' **** couldn't come between
You gon' meet a hundred scrubs before you meet another me
And that's on God
[Verse 5]
I knew he wasn't the one, but it was the history
That kept me from running, I know
We be so caught up and comfortable that
We forget to be who we were before then
Man, it's funny how love works
Especially when you thought that love would work
You know somebody's gonna get hurt
And you just pray that it ain't you
