Golden
12.4 Lyrics

Thoughts of you and me cruisin' down 14th
Reminiscing about the times we imagined ourselves going down 14th street

How it would be if you didn’t switch on me
Thinking about how things could’ve turned out if you hadn't betrayed me

Talkin' 'bout you’re down, no outs I’m your right hand
You used to say you were in a difficult situation and I always had your back

To I can’t, I hope you understand
Now, I can’t be there for you anymore, I hope you get it

We was real shawty
We were genuine, my love for you was real

How you made me want it
I was attracted to you and you easily captured my heart

You found another body
You moved on to someone else

You lost me when you looked for a reason
You lost me when you started searching for an excuse to leave

Tried to keep you 'round, maybe I was dreamin'
I tried to hold onto you, maybe I was just living in a dream

You said I was more than another man
You used to tell me that I meant more to you than any other guy

How you gon' switch up I don’t understand
How could you have changed your mind so quickly? I don't get it

All this time that we spent thought it meant something
The time we spent together, I thought it had value and significance

Wish I knew how it was before it began
I wish I knew the outcome of our relationship before we even started

You better not pop up with another man
Don't come around with another guy, it will not end well

Or I’ll pop off no rubber band
I will lose control, no holding back my emotions

You're always stuck in my mind on replay
I can't stop thinking about you, you're always on my mind

I’m tryna get right back to those golden days
I want to go back to the good times we had together

You say that you don’t get too attached
You claim that you don't become too emotionally invested

But baby don’t you miss the fun we had?
But don't you miss the enjoyable moments we shared?

You always knew how I felt inside
You always knew how much I cared for you

I never thought you’d ever love me back
I never thought you would return my feelings with love

So how you gon' erase me?
How can you just forget me and act like I never existed?

Cut me off, run ya mouth
You cut me out of your life and spoke negatively about me

Then replace me, mmm
Then replace me with someone else, hmm

Only cause you couldn’t change me
You left me only because you couldn't change who I was

What a shame and there’s no else to blame
It's a pity and there's no one else to hold responsible

But you and I
But it's only between you and me

You know baby it takes two to fight
You know it takes effort from both sides to resolve conflicts

And shawty you know very well that you the type
And you know yourself that you are the kind of person

To give up on us slowly
To gradually give up on our relationship

Swear you did the most just to go around and ghost me
I swear you put in so much effort just to disappear from my life

Good days, bad nights it’s so hard to say
It's hard to determine whether our relationship had more good days or bad nights

We had good times when we got away
We had good moments together when we took a break from the world

Golden days tinted red what a sad sight
Our golden days are now colored with sadness and pain

Shit we probably could’ve made it in a past life
We could have potentially lasted longer in a different time or circumstance

Yeah old days, gold days Honda Accord days
The old days, the days of gold, the days of driving a Honda Accord

Back when we could barely afford to go days
When we could barely afford to spend money on outings together

And we would ride around slapping feel no ways
And we would cruise around listening to 'Feel No Ways'

I remember how we met swear it was all fate
I remember how we met, and it felt like it was meant to be

You shot your shot, I said yeah, then nothing was the same
You made your move, I reciprocated, and then everything changed

You said you forgot how it felt to not be with a lame
You said you forgot what it felt like to be with someone who wasn't boring

Hope you didn't fuck up and go do that again
I hope you didn't make a mistake and go back to being with someone dull

'Cause I won’t understand and it won’t be the same
Because I won't be able to understand and our relationship will not be the same
