Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wondering why you changed
Why can't you be the same
I fucked you up mentally
So I'm the one to
blame
So how could I blame you
I'm the one who playing games
Put that all on you when I'm the one who need to change
Gotta move correctly cuz it's chess it ain't no checkers
Late night conversations all I did was give lectures
I promise that I love you but I know I can do better
All I really want is you I really don't want nun extra
But I'm guessing that this that
Love life
Even though it's wrong it feels so right
I know I did wrong but I apologize
Love it when we stare each other in the eyes
I love the sight
It's only right by me to be there when you really need me
I know I did you wrong but I don't want you to just leave me
Yes I must admit I'm stubborn but hella clingy
Kiss on yo neck kiss on yo chest watch you undress
And I
Don't need these bitches got no time cuz you the best
And I
Constantly reassure you cuz a nigga blessed
I knew that you was different cuz
You nun like the rest
Wondering why you changed
Why can't you be the same
I fucked you up mentally
So I'm the one to
Blame
So how could I blame you
I'm the one who playing games
Put that all on you when I'm the one who need to change
Gotta move correctly cuz it's chess it ain't no checkers
Late night conversations all I did was give lectures
I promise that I love you but I know I can do better
All I really want is you I really don't want nun extra
But I'm guessing that this that
Love life
Even though it's wrong it feels so right
I know I did wrong but I apologize




Love it when we stare each other in the eyes
I love the sight
