Remember when i used to make you smile
When you fell through
Now I'm chilling in my room
Reminiscing what we do
When we was together
Feel like it'll last forever
I should have known better
But now I do

Been living the cold hard truth
The fact that I'm missing you
Making my whole world turn blue
Something I don't like to see
My life been misery
Since the day that you left me
Was blind but now i see
That you're my only
If only i could change time
I would make sure you stay mine
Even though i cheat and lied
I didn't want you out my life
If only i could change time
I would make sure you stay mine
Even though i cheat and lied
I didn't want you out my life
I know i did you wrong
And that you are gone
And im all alone
All i got is this song
Remember when we laughed and played
And now we just text all day
Remember when i told you
I was different but still seeing
Other women
Should've known id get caught slipping
One of these days
In so many ways i really care
And the fact that you were always there
Even was nobody was
Im just tripping just because
Thats you only just once
Now its all in the wind like us
If only i could change time
I would make sure you stay mine
Even though i cheat and lied
I didn't want you out my life
If only i could change time
I would make sure you stay mine
Even though i cheat and lied
I didn't want you out my life
Thinking about you like everyday
As time pass decay
I guess since i crossed you
You had to fade away MJ
But this aint no game
But i cheated
Nobody else to blame but me
Like mute shorty you dont even speak
But i guess thats what i get
The worst feeling in life regret
I just want to make it last forever
Kieth Sweat and this relationship
Is on vacation but right now its a trip
On the road to regret
I know i got work to do so i got break a sweat
You were my favorite girl but not my only
Damn maybe thats the reason
Your not with me
If only i could change time
I would make sure you stay mine
Even though i cheat and lied
I didn't want you out my life
If only i could change time
I would make sure you stay mine

Even though i cheat and lied
I didn't want you out my life

Line by Line Meaning

Remember when i used to make you smile
I reminisce on the past when I was able to bring happiness to your face

When you fell through
When you were going through a tough time

Now I'm chilling in my room
I am alone and trying to relax in my own space

Reminiscing what we do
Reflecting on the memories we created together

When we was together
During the time that we were in a relationship

Feel like it'll last forever
I thought our love would continue on forever

I should have known better
I made a mistake and wish I had done something differently

But now I do
I understand the error of my ways

Been living the cold hard truth
I am facing the harsh reality of my actions

The fact that I'm missing you
I am acknowledging the emptiness and longing I feel for you

Making my whole world turn blue
My sadness is affecting every aspect of my life

Something I don't like to see
I am uncomfortable with the pain that I am experiencing

My life been misery
My current situation is causing me a great deal of suffering

Since the day that you left me
After the moment that you ended our relationship

Was blind but now i see
I was unaware of my mistakes before, but now I am enlightened

That you're my only
You are the only person that truly matters to me

If only i could change time
I wish that I could turn back the clock and do things differently

I would make sure you stay mine
I would make sure to keep you in my life

Even though i cheat and lied
Despite my infidelity and deceit

I didn't want you out my life
I never wanted to lose you from my life

I know i did you wrong
I am aware that I hurt you

And that you are gone
You have left me

And im all alone
I am without companionship

All i got is this song
All I have left to hold on to is this piece of music

Remember when we laughed and played
When we had fun together in the past

And now we just text all day
Our communication has been reduced to texting throughout the day

Remember when i told you
During our conversation together

I was different but still seeing other women
I misled you by promising that I was changing, despite my continuing infidelity

Should've known id get caught slipping
I should have anticipated being discovered by you

One of these days
I knew that eventually it would catch up to me

In so many ways i really care
I genuinely care a great deal about you in many different ways

And the fact that you were always there
The truth is that you were always present in my life

Even was nobody was
Even when I was alone, you were there in my thoughts

Im just tripping just because
I am overthinking and worrying for no reason

Thats you only just once
You are the only person like you in the world

Now its all in the wind like us
Our relationship, like the wind, has vanished into nothingness

Thinking about you like everyday
You are always on my mind

As time pass decay
As time goes on, the memories of us begin to fade away

I guess since i crossed you
I suppose that since I betrayed you

You had to fade away MJ
You had to depart, similar to the musician Michael Jackson's death

But this aint no game
This is not something trivial or fun

But i cheated
I was unfaithful

Nobody else to blame but me
I am solely responsible for my choices and actions

Like mute shorty you dont even speak
You have stopped communicating with me and I am left speechless

But i guess thats what i get
I deserve this consequence due to my behavior

The worst feeling in life regret
Regret is one of the most unpleasant emotions a person can experience

I just want to make it last forever
I desire for our love to endure eternally

Kieth Sweat and this relationship
A reference to the musician Keith Sweat, who often sings about relationships

Is on vacation but right now its a trip
Our relationship is currently in turmoil and is a tumultuous experience

On the road to regret
Our current situation is leading us down a path of remorse

I know i got work to do so i got break a sweat
I am aware that I need to make amends and will need to work hard to do so

You were my favorite girl but not my only
Although you were my favorite, there were other women in my life

Damn maybe thats the reason your not with me
Perhaps this is why our relationship did not work out and you left me
