Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sitting all alone and I’m tryna forget
Waiting by my phone but I’m getting no texts
Why didn’t you show? Were you spending all your checks
On another man
Now you making regrets
I just wanna know where you were when you said
You were on your way were you really in a bed
In the sunset
In the sunset
You been actin' up so I’m tryna go get
Hennessy and Swisher Sweets you make me feel sick
Do you want cuffed or do you want sex
Never being real with me always complex
I just wanted you in the night time
I just want the truth baby can you comply
Telling me you love me now you got me tongue tied
Cause I always catch you in them little white lies
You did me so damn dirty
You broke my heart it’s hurting
Now I‘m poppin' perc 30s
Just to help me stop me from yearning
I put my trust in you
You left me here to stew in
Self-hatred
I hate this
You shut me out now I’m
In the sunset
Sitting all alone and I’m tryna forget
Waiting by my phone but I’m getting no texts
Why didn’t you show? Were you spending all your checks
On another man
Now you making regrets
I just wanna know where you were when you said
You were on your way were you really in a bed
With another dude left me feelin' upset
In the sunset
In the sunset
Sitting all alone and I’m tryna forget
Waiting by my phone but I’m getting no texts
Why didn’t you show? Were you spending all your checks
On another man
Now you making regrets
I just wanna know where you were when you said
You were on your way were you really in a bed
With another dude left me feelin' upset
In the sunset
In the sunset
