Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Knowing when I'm with you I get beside myself
Keeping everything in thinking I might as well
So I didn't even mention I met somebody else
Who makes me feel different
Cherish's my wishes
Giving all that they giving
We could've been winning
But you was on a mission
But you don't know what you did to me
But you don't know what you did to me
But you don't know what you did to me
But you don't know what you did to me
I left my location
Just to save you
from the day and
Seems like there's no patience
When your headed towards such greatness
My heart feels so vacant
Why can't you come save it
Fix what you've been making
Please don't make me feel complacent
But when it comes to you I like to ball out
I ain't ever think that we would fall out
Been addicted to your love you know my soft spots
& when it comes to you we barely talk bout it
But you don't know what you did to me
But you don't know what you did to me
But you don't know what you did to me
But you don't know what you did to me
