Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause I can′t get you out my mind
I wish that I could hit rewind, so you could see
That you're the reason why (why)
You fell out of this love
We still keeping in touch
I guess I wasn't enough
I′m so sick and tired of hurting
What happened to the time
When we were flirting on the phone
Or when you didn′t want to take me home?
'Cause then it′s when you on me
Better days with
We was chilling it was so amazin' (you)
We all make mistakes, I hope a real ass nigga′
Come and take your place, ya overrated
Overrated love
Overrated love (ooh)
Overrated love
Overrated love (yeah)
Now you tryna bounce back
Nigga what you call that?
You ain't got shit to claim, we ain′t on that
Try to say my name in vain, you can't grow at
That's real rave
Is this a shame I′m on?
Is this a game?
You keep on running in place of love
Who is to blame?
Is it my name?
Shit ain′t the same no more
Say no more
Giving you takes so long (giving you)
Love me the way I am
I'm so sick and tired of hurting
What happened to the time when we were flirting on the phone?
Or when you didn′t, want to take me home?
'Cause then it′s when you on me
Better days with
We was chilling it was so amazin' (you)
We all make mistakes, I hope a real ass nigga′
Come and take your place, ya overrated
Overrated love
Overrated love (oh)
