Let Me Explain
Bryson Tiller Lyrics

It's been a long time
It has been a significant amount of time since we have talked.

I guess I just miss the old days
I am feeling nostalgic for our past relationship.

You remember, all them times
Do you recall all of the times we have spent together?

You used to come keep me company
You used to come and spend time with me.

Tell me you love me and just me
You used to tell me that you love only me.

Oh and it took a while to trust me
It took a while for you to trust me.

Girl I had to work for it
I had to put in effort to earn your trust and love.

Still you don't judge me
Even after all of my mistakes, you still do not judge me.

I love the way you touch me
I enjoy the way you touch me physically.

I'm feeling like I'm 'bout to lose you
I have a strong feeling that I am going to lose you soon.

With all the shady shit I do to you
I have done some questionable things to you.

Some things are better left unsaid
Certain things should not be talked about or brought up.

I can't get it out my head
I cannot stop thinking about it.

Better left unsaid
It is best if we do not bring up certain things.

Everything that I regret
I regret everything that I have done wrong in our relationship.

No lie girl when I tell you, you a blessing
I genuinely believe that you are a blessing in my life.

Girl just let me make corrections, yeah
Please allow me to make corrections in our relationship.

Damn, I've been stressing yeah
I have been feeling very stressed lately.

I've been really tripping babe
I have been making some big mistakes lately.

I learned my lesson, yeah
I have learned from my mistakes.

I still need you to listen, oh babe
I still need you to hear me out.

Oh if you'd just let me explain
If you would just listen to me and my side of the story.

Baby, oh
My dear.

Don't be afraid to tell me that it's over
Please do not hesitate to tell me if our relationship is over.

No, I don't deserve you, the shit I never told you
I do not deserve you because there are things that I have not been honest about.

There's too many things, I can't look you in the face
There are too many things that I am afraid to tell you.

I just grab you by the waist and act like everything's okay
Instead of talking things out, I have been ignoring our problems and pretending that everything is okay.

Bare with me girl, I'm trying to be honest
Please be patient with me, I am trying to be truthful with you.

Tell you what you need to hear, just not yet
I will eventually tell you what you need to hear, but not quite yet.

I'm barely getting started, I'm being cautious
I am only just beginning to open up to you again, so I am being careful.

Girl that's the hardest
This is very difficult for me.

All we been through, look what we've been through
We have been through a lot together.

Look at Jay and Bey, they going through some shit too
Even celebrity couples like Jay-Z and Beyonce go through tough times in their relationships.

We made it through the struggle let's make it through this too
We have overcome challenges in the past, so we can get through this as well.

I got a confession, baby will you listen to it?
I have something I need to confess, will you please listen?
