Your Heart
JOYNER LUCAS Lyrics

Mm
Joyner Lucas starts the song with a simple, almost hesitant sound indicating he is aware of the consequences of what he did and wishes to apologize.

I'm sorry (yeah)
He starts the song with two simple words, 'I'm sorry', expressing his remorse and empathy.

I broke your heart, huh? (Yeah)
Joyner acknowledges that he broke her heart and almost rhetorically asks her whether it's true.

You knew I was a fuck-nigga from the start, huh? (Uh)
He admits that the girl should have seen the signs that he was not going to treat her right and that she should've known better.

You should've listened when they said I was a dawg, huh? (Joyner)
Joyner acknowledges that she should've listened to the warnings and rumors about him being a narcissistic cheater.

You should've listened to your head when you had thoughts, huh?
He admits that she had second thoughts about their relationship at some point but she should've trusted her own instincts.

That's what you thought, huh?

I left you scarred, huh?

You'll never be the same again, put that on God, huh? (Put that on God)

I took your heart and then I tore that shit apart, huh? (Yeah)
He admits that he took possession of her love and then destroyed it through his infidelities.

I fucked you over, did you dirty, did you wrong, huh? (Yeah)
He admits that he treated her badly, cheated on her repeatedly, and there is no excuse for what he did.

You say you hate me but I know that this your song, yeah (this your song)
He acknowledges that this song is dedicated to her and her pain, even though she probably hates him.

Angry texts, we don't ever get along, yeah (oh)
He acknowledges that their communications have been so fractured, they don't even communicate - only angry texts.

We been rockin' with each other for so long, yeah (yeah)
The song acknowledges that they were a couple for a long period and that their love could be seen as once-in-a-lifetime.

Maybe that's why it's been harder to move on, yeah (yeah)
He acknowledges that because their relationship was long-standing, it's understandably harder for her to move on.

And you changed too (changed)

And your mama and your friends think I'm to blame too
He acknowledges that it's not just the girl, but her family and friends do not like him due to his behavior.

And you hate it when somebody say my name, ooh (Joyner)
He acknowledges that hearing his name still brings back the memories and pain of the relationship.

Every time you hear my name you wanna drink, ooh, ooh, ooh (ayy, ayy, ayy)

You wanna get crazy, do everything that you never did (did)

You might do some wild shit out of impulse (yeah, yeah)

You say that you hate me and we're not involved (yeah)

But you still checkin' on me tryna find info, I know (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
He acknowledges that she still thinks about him and follows him through social media or mutual friends to find out what he is up to.

I hate a fuck-n***a, used to be a fuck-n***a

Couldn't even blame her if she did f**k n***a (yeah)
He acknowledges that she would be justified to engage in promiscuous and cheating behavior now that she is single.

You run your bitch through the mud, you deserve that
He acknowledges that he treated her disrespectfully, and if she treated him the same way he treated her, he would deserve it.

So you can feel it for yourself where it hurt at
