Break
LIVING ROOM - Childish Gambino Lyrics

I shoulda saw it comin'
I should have foreseen the outcome of the situation

I shoulda saw the signs
I overlooked the indications that something was wrong

But I wanted to believe you, trust you
I had faith in you and wanted to trust you despite the signs

You said you wouldn't lie
You promised not to deceive me

But baby you were so good, so good
You were convincing and made me believe your lie

You had me goin' blind
You blinded me from the truth

You said it was your best friend, I'm guessing
You claimed your infidelity was with your closest friend

I wasn't your type, hey!
I was not the type of person you were interested in

What goes around comes around
One will eventually face consequences for their actions

And if it goes up, it comes down
If one is successful, they will eventually experience failure

I know you mad 'cause I found out
I know you are angry because I discovered the truth

Want you to feel what I feel right now
I want you to experience the same emotions I am currently feeling

Now that it's over
Now that our relationship has ended

I just wanna break your heart right back
I want to hurt you in the same way you hurt me

Want you to cry me a river
I want you to cry as much as I did

Hey, all this time, I was blind running 'round telling everybody
I was previously unaware of your deceit and was telling others about our happy relationship

You said I was your best, would be your last
You claimed I was your best and last partner

Now he's gone, you're alone
Your previous partner has left and you are now single

Don't want you back
I am not interested in reconciling with you

You're tellin' me you're sorry
You are apologizing to me

Well sorry, my friend
Your apology is not enough

'Cause I've already been there done that
I have already experienced this situation before

Ain't doin' this again
I will not go through this experience again

Listen, you got a man but your man ain't loyal
You have a partner, but they are unfaithful

Don't understand how to spell it out for ya
You do not comprehend the gravity of the situation

Yes I'm G, from the A, and they ask why
Yes, I am Gambino from Atlanta, and people often question my actions

Sorry had to tell you, I'm a nice guy
I apologize for having to inform you, but I consider myself a decent person

Naw, I'm a sick guy, money too much
Actually, I am a bit twisted, and I have an abundance of money

I step on stage and girls move too much
When I perform onstage, the audience gets excited

The flow so gross, my nickname school lunch
My rhyming style is so superb that it is compared to the school lunch that everyone wants

And he with them other guys, you know it's true 'cause
Your partner is with other people, and you know for certain

G-A-M-B-I-N-O
My stage name, Gambino

I know they hate but I don't know why, uh
I am aware that there are people who dislike me, but I do not understand why

I know the way he did you was whack
I know that the manner in which your partner treated you was awful

But I know how you can get dude right back
But I have a plan to help you get revenge on your partner

Ooh, yeah Runnin' 'round town tellin' everybody
Repeated line, indicating that the main character is no longer blind and is telling everyone the truth

I'm comin' out He's comin' I'm comin' out
The end of the song, leaving the listener anticipating the next song
