Rehab
Memphis Ash Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Iβ€²m seeing views in the skies
Told her I wouldn't break her heart but i still broke her... heart
She say Fool You A Lie she say i played her from the start and I donβ€²t care about her at all
That ain't true thats a lie
I care for her alot, but its hard to express it
The bond that we had falling off its neglected;
I text back slow, and your calls get rejection
The love that you gave I just straight disrespected
Supposed to treat you bout love and affection, keeping dirty secrets;
Now my thoughts need inspection
The sweet vibe we had, camouflaged with aggression
Now you moved on and i ain't mad I respect it
I shouldβ€²ve did better, Iβ€²ll take it as a lesson
I let the guilt in and my guard got ejected, maybe its for the better
I know God gone accept me, It's hard when youβ€²re helpless
But my chin up my thoughts get so wreckless
It's a difference between love and in love
And when you in love you fall into Depression
Itβ€²s sposed to feel the same
Thats that twin love but you dealing with a nigga that ain't been loved
Thatβ€²s why I still wild out with the street thugs
And put my phone on silence in the strip club
I know it's crazy I lost some interest
And I know you lost some patience
Without admission I entered into the basics
If you don't forgive me I deserve it ian the greatest
Thatβ€²s what i get i shouldβ€²ve treated you like a lady
But i was tripping and honestly girl i hate it
You didn't only leave, you left with a part of me so if you donβ€²t accept me
Accept my apology
My confessions my confessions
These are my confessions, yeah; my confessions

Take it as a warning, it might sound alarming
12' o clock in the morning, out cheating while your yawning
Babygirl I know you hate me; but youβ€²ll love me in the morning
Take it as a warning, it might sound alarming




12' o clock in the morning, out cheating while your yawning
Babygirl I know you hate me; but youβ€²ll love me in the morning
