'Cause every time we alone, it's a awkward silence
So leave your keys on the kitchen counter (oh-woah-woah-woah-woah-woah-woah-woah)
And give me back that ruby ring with the big diamond
Shit, it's over, what you trippin' for?
I don't wanna have to let you go
But, baby, I think it's better if I let you know
I'm on some new shit

Finally, he expresses that he has found someone new and better, leaving his old partner behind with a simple “deuces.”
