Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Made my mistakes, honey, you made yours too
So I can't erase all the shit we put each other through
We were supposed to be together through the good and the bad
But you folded under pressure, left our love in the past
Did you ever love me or was it the things I did for you?
Gave you all of my heart, but I guess it wasn't enough for you, oh, no
I know it's give and take and I gave all I can give
Said you would be there, darlin', and you turned around and you dipped
[Chorus]
When things got rough, you chose to run
I don't think you ever loved me, not like you said you did (Ooh)
Wasted my time, you wouldn't try
I don't think you ever loved me and that's why you quit
[Verse 2]
Now, baby, you trippin', girl, you never listen, I needed attention and you pushed my loving to the side
Wouldn't believe how many times I cried, ooh
You were in my presence when you weren't present, wait, put your phone down and give me quality time
It's like you had everything but me on your mind
How dare you say I never loved you?
I had eyes for nobody but you
I tried and I tried to make it work
But you just ignored me when it hurt
[Chorus]
When things got rough, you chose to run
I don't think you ever loved me, not like you said you did (Ooh)
Wasted my time, you wouldn't try
I don't think you ever loved me and that's why you quit
[Bridge]
To give all my yesterdays
How can you take our tomorrow and throw them all away?
I'm all out of answers, but one thing is clear
[Chorus]
When things got rough (Rough, and the half of it, baby) you chose to run (I've never tried to run)
I don't think you ever loved me (Yes, I loved you), not like you said you did (Yes, like I said I did)
Wasted my time (Wasted those time), you wouldn't try
I don't think you ever loved me (That's why I had to find, I had to separate) and that's why you quit
[Outro]
Ooh (Oh, oh)
You didn't love me like you said you did (It's in God's plans, it's in God's hands now)
No, no, no, no, no (No, no, no, no, oh)
There's no way (Do you still believe? Do you still believe? I still believe in our love)
