Keyshia Cole Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Been sitting, thinking bout you
And I am wondering why were not getting along
So frustrated cause what we had was a happy home
I don't know what the situation is
But I could tell in the way we kiss
We don't talk no more it feels better when I'm alone

Sometimes I feel like there's no getting through to you

Like you don't appreciate all that I do
You gotta show me that you want me to stay
Don't turn and walk away?

Baby I'm slowly falling out of love with you
I don't know what to do
How did we end up here this way what are we gonna do
I'm slowly falling out baby I'm tripping on silly things
Boy, I need you to meet me half way if you want me to be with you

I remember when I be with my friends you checked on me and made time to call
But now things have changed
Now I don't hear from you at all (yeah, yeah)

Sometimes I feel like there's no getting through to you
Like you don't appreciate all that I do
You gotta show me that you want me to stay
Don't turn and walk away?

Baby I'm slowly falling out of love with you
I don't know what to do
How did we end up here this way what are we gonna do
I'm slowly falling out baby I'm tripping on silly things
Boy, I need you to meet me half way if you want me to be with you

Don't let your pride get in the way
On something we worked so hard, don't throw it away
I've been trying to make you see everything you need is right here with me

Sometimes I feel like there's no getting through to you
Like you don't appreciate all that I do
You gotta show me that you want me to stay
Don't turn and walk away?

Baby I'm slowly falling out of love with you
I don't know what to do
How did we end up here this way what are we gonna do
I'm slowly falling out baby I'm tripping on silly things
Boy, I need you to meet me half way if you want me to be with you

I'm tired of giving my all

How did we end here this way I just want to know what are we gonna do
How did we end up here this way?
