50 Shades Of Gray
Masspike Miles Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Verse:]
Wait a minute
Let me speak
Can you please turn down the beat now?
I’m in need of serenity
And my feelings are exposed now
A sticky situation
She wants an explanation
Like a communication
It’s love’s expiration date

[Chorus:]
You’re so hard to read, 50 shades of gray
Even though my love is gone my heart wants to stay
Can you tell me the difference between night and day?
Can you tell me the difference between tears and rain?

Oh oh
It’s hard to say
It’s hard to say
Oh oh
It’s hard to say
Oh oh
It’s hard to say
Why is it hard to say?
It’s hard to say

[Verse:]
First at it, in need of
This feels like a dream now
In a minute you’ll see
As love begins to bleed out
I’ll show you more than experience
If you will ever come back again
Let’s make a deal and I’ll show you pain
I’m still here

Our love song can get it forward
I know how you like it
Muscato, a purple rose
I’m still familiar that a nigga’s too poor

I swear I love you baby
I love you, I want you
I want you
Keep coming, coming
Baby don’t cry
I promise nothing
It’s still all new and strange disappearance

[Chorus:]
You’re so hard to read, 50 shades of gray
Even though my love is gone my heart wants to stay
Can you tell me the difference between night and day?
Can you tell me the difference between tears and rain?

Oh oh
It’s hard to say
Oh oh
It’s hard to say
Why is it hard to say?
Why is it hard to say?




Why is it hard to say?
It’s hard to say
