Woah, woah, woah
Go, go, woah
Go, woah
I miss when we would stay up late
I miss you but it's over now
I know that I fucked up this time
I know we should've just stayed friends
We both know that it's too late now
I don't know if it means anything
But I'm happy that you came around
From the jump I knew what you was about
You ain't fuck with me 'cause I had clout
I can tell you knew what love was about
Still wish we could work it out
But this shit just keep goin' south
I could tell it was finna die out
No, we can't let this shit die out
So I was like, "Fuck it, I'm finna fly out"
Yeah, I'm finna cop this flight right now
We gotta fix this shit right now
Yeah, I'm finna pop out for like five days
How 'bout I see you on Friday?
I hope it play out the good way
'Cause I hate dealing with this shit my way
'Cause you know I don't wanna hurt you
But it's hard doin' this shit the right way
Like, how the fuck I'm supposed to tell you?
But we gotta go in the right way
Just know that I'm always gon' love you
Just hit me whenever you need me
'Cause you know I'm comin' to see you, but
I miss when we would stay up late
I miss you but it's over now
I know that I fucked up this time
I know that you just want me out
I know we should've just stayed friends
We both know that it's too late now
I don't know if it means anything
But I'm happy that you came around
