I Can't Believe
Lil Cuete Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Put my pistal forward so I don't get knocked down
You take me for granted
You think that i'll always be around?
What goes around comes around
One day i'll leave
And then you will see
How much you truly miss me
And even if you dont

It doesnt matter anyways

Theres clouds above my sky
But I'll see a better day
So do what you must and
Be with another guy
What did you think?
I was gonna just lay down and die?Hell no!

I'll find someone new
Not like you
Someone to help me thru this time of weakness
Picking it up by stress
Never realizing i dont need you more or less
Its time for me to get on and find some happyness
With someone that see's
That ill be there for her
As long shes always there for me
This pain i dont need
So if you wanna leave
You know i'll set you free
Just dont come back to me
Erase you from my memory

[chorus:]
I cant believe that this is happening to me
You wanna leave well then go ahead and leave
I'll set you free just dont come back to me
Erase you from my memory
Erase you from my memory.[x2]

And all those times we argued and it wasnt my fault
But i told you i was sorry so that it could be resolved
And sometimes i wish that we have never met at all
You had me on my knees but Iwould never craw

Choosen your friends over your man
I should have known then but now i know i can
Walk away from you and leave you alone
Why did you have to break a happy home?

Go with the one that you chose before me
And staying aways from you is something i guarantee
You cant take it back cause i made a decision
And now im taking off into a higher devision.
Somebody lie you wont let nobody bring them down
And thats why i stay high and i'll never come down
And if i knew then what i know now
I would have never stayed
Would have never stayed around

[chorus:]
I cant believe that this is happening to me
You wanna leave well then go ahead and leave
I'll set you free just dont come back to me
Erase you from my memory
Erase you from my memory.[x2]

I heard you say that you'll do better without me
If its true
Get on
Cause all you do is dought me
You stick around just to hold me down is what it seems
Because when I need you
Your never there for me
Making up excuses and telling all those lies
You think that im stupid?
I know theres stuff you hide

I'll give you my trust but i'll never give you my pride
I'll kick you out of my life and never let you back inside
You acted like you didnt care but now were gonna see
I know that one day you will come running back to me
Eventually you'll be just a memory
Someone to forget
Someone not to sweat
Giving all these reasons now I know why I'm sad
Not because you left but that girl I thought I had
I didnt want to face it
Its something that I knew
But now im looking through the eyes of a changed mans view

[chorus:]
I cant believe that this is happening to me
You wanna leave well then go ahead and leave
I'll set you free just dont come back to me
Erase you from my memory
Erase you from my memory.[x2]

Thats right,
You are looking through the eyes of a changed mans view
My eyes are wide 0pen now
Its to late for you though

I'll find someone new
Erase you from my memory
