Meant to Be
Jay Will Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been thinking about you
About you
Baby I've been dreaming about you
About you
Yeah
Yeah
I know we broke up I know it's been a minute
You said you moved on but still like all my pictures
I hear you been seeing someone else
You still on my mental all the time
You still on my mental all the time
I can't seem to get you out my mind
Baby I can't seem to get you
Out my mind
But girl you not the only one to blame
I know I got some problems too
I need to take care of mental health
Cause since we broke up
I don't sleep well
I still see you in my dreams
I still see you in my nightmares
I been tryna get out of the past
But I can't because I'm stuck
I'm addicted to you
Baby girl your my drug
I been going in a circle guess I'm in a rut
I been going through the motions
I need your touch
I've been thinking about you
About you
Baby I've been dreaming about you
About you
I said I moved on with life
I said I was doing fine
Got a good job and a loyal man on the side
But if I'm being honest
I still hate that I broke every single promise
Don't like how we ended
Type it but can't send it
That late night text
Wish you the best
But it's sunset
Your still stuck in my head
Your still stuck in my head
In my head
In my head
I'm reliving all our memories
Even though I was the one that chose to leave
I've tried myself you've got the keys
With out you I don't know what's left of me
I've been thinking about you
Bout you
Baby I've been dreaming about you
Bout you
Hey Joah, it's me
Sorry I didn't respond to your text today
I just got off work
And haven't seem to catch a break all day today to respond
Um But I actually work on Saturdays
I work Tuesday through Saturdays
So I won't be able to do anything tonight
I wish I could but work has just been
Really kind of kind of crazy lately
So um anyways
I'm probably going to go home tonight and sleep
And I'm so excited about that
But um anyways
I hope I get to see you soon
I miss talking to you
I feel like I haven't seen you in so long
So hope your doing well




And I hope I'll see you soon
Bye
