[Verse 1]
Met you back in 2005
We'd never met so I thought I heard the sound in my mind
My name spoke in an angelic voice
That's all I'd tell my boys
Until 2009
When the thoughts of you crept out of my mind
But after 2 years demise
We reconnected
We mentioned all the wreckage
Since our last chill session
Then I reckon we should stop by my spot for a second
We talked for hours, every second was a blessin'
We bared our souls, every sentence was impressive
It was a dream come true, I reckon it was a message
That we're meant to be
But your skeletons in the closet, I was the next to see
You even gave the warning "shouldn't mess with me"
But the blast from the past wouldn't let me leave
So the cause of the emotional wreck was me
[Hook]
No, I don't understand how this life works
No, no, no, I don't understand why this life hurts
No I don't, no I don't understand why this sh** happens
No I don't, no I don't understand the Devil's latest fashions
No, I don't. No, I-
[Verse 2]
Best friends through middle school
But the way it ended was a little cruel
But luckily, nah, I'm not a bitter dude
But still, never could have saw the way this was coming to
A weak end
Lived together for three weeks, two weekends
But every day had to deal with your creepy ex creepin'
Basically stalkin'
I know your relationship's been on and off and
There's nothing I can do but say "back off, man"
But we were still cool
Until the first weekend you went off to school
Same college as who?
Should of had the knowledge to continue dodgin' the dude
But should of guessed the second I left the problem was through
The problem being us
Guess you'd seen enough
Cause my dream was up
Aw, f**
Damn, man. Ain't that just the way life works...
[Hook]
No, I don't understand how this life works
No, no, no, I don't understand why this life hurts
No I don't, no I don't understand why this sh** happens
No I don't, no I don't understand the Devil's latest fashions
No, I don't. No, I don't
