Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Threw your love away
And I made some choices
Yeah they weren’t great
Shoulda never lied
Threw your love a side
Now I’m working day shifts
In the night I find
And I got a lotta thinking to do
These times I’m still 22
Don’t talk but I'm still into you
And these other guys
Couldn’t be me if they tried
And I hope they treat you right
And they never tell you lies
I will never lie to you my baby
Will never lie to you my shawty

Will never lie to you my shawty

During the night, I discover
Myself still thinking of you

You're stuck in my head
I can't stop thinking about you
That rubbed you the wrong way
Things that I said or did mistreated or affected you negatively
The things that I said
Words that came out of my mouth
I'm taking my time
I'm being patient and not rushing into anything
And it's all beacause of you
It's all a result of you and our relationship
And the little things you do
The small actions you take and the way you behave
