And I don't know why, yeah
And I don't know why, yeah
There was nothing
Mmm
Ay
I gave you my all like you wanted
But you let me fall like I was nothing
I should have known better
I was in my head
I thought that it could last forever
And I don't know why
I don't know why, yeah
And I don't know why
I don't know why, yeah
And I don't know why
I don't know why, yeah
I was in my head
I thought that it could last forever
Thought you was the one like Neo
I was Blinded by the thought of you and me though
Played them old school games - Coleco
Vision came back - you for the streets ho
Now it’s done for good, yo finito
Cause I Hate U Bitch, No Z-Ro
Tried to save you from yourself, superhero
Yeah your love not a movie, all B-roll
Just a bunch of filler, a bunch of fluff
Trapped in a thriller and I can’t yell cut
Single teen mom, shoulda gave you up
Shoulda stuck with my mind and never gave two fucks
But I tried my luck and you tried my patience
What’s that old school adage? Yeah the rest is ancient
Came with ya baggage, guess your heart didn’t make it
Thought it was forever, I was sadly mistaken
I gave you my all like you wanted
But you let me fall like I was nothing
I should have known better
I was in my head
I thought that it could last forever
And I don't know why
I don't know why, yeah
And I don't know why
I don't know why, yeah
And I don't know why
I don't know why, yeah
I was in my head
I thought that it could last forever
Don’t know why you treat me this way
Don’t know why, begged you to stay
Don’t know why, what more coulda I say
I Don’t know why, I took you back that day
But I can’t blame you, yeah I’m the fool
Shoulda never placed you up on that pedestal
That’s a long way down, leave you battered/bruised
Guess I saw that vision of a better you
Better you? Nah, a better us
But for anything to work y’all trust is a must
Put my trust in a mutt, ain’t that summin’
Bitch was a jump off, word to Budden
Shoulda stuck to fuckin’, no handcuffin'
Ain’t good enough for you, guess no man wasn’t
Still I wish you the best, yea you and ya woman
I would say thanks, but it’s thanks for nothing
I gave you my all like you wanted
But you let me fall like I was nothing
I should have known better
I was in my head
I thought that it could last forever
And I don't know why
I don't know why, yeah
And I don't know why
I don't know why, yeah
And I don't know why
I don't know why, yeah




I was in my head
I thought that it could last forever
