[Hook]
I'mma keep it real
I'mma keep it real with you
You see love is hard
It's hard enough to deal with you
[Verse 1]
First off, let me start by saying this
I couldn't measure up
How in the world were you weighing this
When we argue do you consider how I'm taking this?
Your just a broken record and I'm still playing it
Claim this ain't a game and you ain't the one I'm playing with
You say I bit off more than I can chew
And you leave, but I ain't winning if I'm losing you
That's just common sense
I'm tryna make amends
Tryna get back to the way that things used to be
Don't let it die, don't write the eulogy
But usually, love ends bad, so crucially
Yeah, I never thought of how we'd end up
Hoping that together forever was how they picture us
And tell em frame it if you think the picture's clear enough
I just hope that you could hold it down
Got my mind off the prize, but I still want the crown
[Hook 2x]
[Verse 2]
Another argument;
Throwing sh** around claiming that you call it quits
But you'll be back around
Like you come once a year
I waste time watching re-runs of Cheers
When your not around everything feels wrong
You think I've changed just because my appeal has grown
Miss the old days girls it's been so long
We went our seperate ways and I never felt so alone in my life
But, we had to do what was right
Only thing that really hurts is finding out it never works
I think of all the women I care for
What if they find a man that's better to me and they're prepared more?
And they end up happy in the long run?
No idea how hard it was to get this song done
How hard it took, how hard it took
Guess you'll never know
I'll never know how I let these feelings grow
[Hook]
