Reminiscing
Eli Da Vincii Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
To be honest it ain’t a day that I don’t think about you
I can’t even go to sleep unless I talk about you
It’s been a while and honestly I just can’t live without you
No more fronting you the one one that I be wanting
I had to leave cause you never was a hunnid
Telling all them lies tell me what you wanted,
Played with my heart and it really left me wanting
I wanted you to hold me down I just wanted you to stay
I tried to hide my feelings but I couldn’t keep em all away
I just wanted to feel loved and all you ever did was fake
Tell me how does it feel to lose a real one
You was looking for a heart just to steal one
We grew apart man it really sucks
Just remember once it’s up then it’s stuck
You got me thinking, sitting, reminiscing bout what we had and damn i’m missing you
(You know i’m missing you baby)
You got me thinking, sitting, reminiscing bout what we had and damn i’m missing you
(You know i’m missing you baby)
Tell me how does it feel know to know you’ll never get me back
All that running game well now i’m running track
You must be dumb cause karma hitting you right back
I turned my feelings down and never looking back
I told myself I’ll never need you in my life again
I tell myself that just to make myself feel right again
All this reminiscing getting me real tight again
It’s time for me to move on and just say bye again
It’s really me eating up I turned my savage back up
I tried to leave you alone but I just can’t give you up
I told myself this not right I needed you by my side
Even though you not here I know you still gonna ride
I know you always gonna have my back
But I gotta let you go and get myself on track
All this stuff that I be doing yeah it leaves me open
But I gotta keep real can’t do no sugar coating
You got me thinking, sitting, reminiscing bout what we had and damn i’m missing you
(Baby)
You got me thinking, sitting, reminiscing bout what we had and damn i’m missing you
(Baby)
Tell me how does it feel know to know you will never get me back
All that running game well now i’m running track
You must be dumb cause karma hitting you right back
I turned my feelings down and never looking back
You got me thinking
You got me
And damn i’m missing you
You got me thinking, sitting, reminiscing bout what we had and damn i’m missing you (Baby)
