3 AM
NF Lyrics

Call me at 3 AM, telling me that I could be the one, oh yeah
Late at night, you call me telling me you see a future for us, but I know that's not the case anymore

Maybe I was in love from the outside, guess I ain't what you want no more
I used to think we had something special, but you've moved on and I accept that

If you got someone else inside of your life, yeah, that's good for you, I'm happy
You've found love with someone else and that's great for you and for my happiness too

You got someone that makes you smile more than I ever did, yeah that's great
Your partner makes you happier than I ever did, and that's really great to hear

Listen, why they always tryna hurt me?
People are always attempting to hurt me in one way or another

Why they always tryna burn me?
People are always attempting to make me feel the pain of their criticism

I swear to God, shoulda never even happened in the first place
Looking back, it was never meant to work out between us

Only time you hit me's on my birthday
You only talk to me on special occasions, like birthdays

Wish that I could tell you that I got a lot of love for you
I still have feelings for you, although I won't tell you that

Wish that I could tell you I got trust for you
I really want to trust you, but I know you've moved on

Once you put some money in the bank, you understand that the money ain't enough for you
You may have wealth, but it doesn't always bring happiness or satisfaction

Yeah, look what it's done to you
Your money or success has changed you, and not necessarily in a positive way

Everyone's your friend when the music start buzzin'
People are only supportive when they see you're successful or famous

I'm closer to the people that were there when I was nothin'
My real friends are the people who were supportive of me even before I became famous

Tryna talk about the past but you always change the subject
When we try to talk about our past relationship, you always try to avoid the subject or deflect it

I ain't good at shakin' hands but I'm good at holdin' grudges
While I'm not good at pretending everything's okay, I'm great at holding onto negative feelings and grudges

Why you always frontin', huh, always tryna play wit' me?
Why are you always pretending or trying to toy with my emotions?

Yeah, whatchu gotta say to me?
What do you have to say to me?

I am not a slave to the people writin' checks to me
While I appreciate the support of my fans and music industry, I am not completely dependent on their approval for my self-worth

This is destiny, they ain't never had respect for me
Despite never receiving respect for my talent from certain people, I know that achieving success in music is my destiny

I don't like that!
I'm not content with how things are going in our relationship

Why you actin' shady on me?
Why are you acting suspicious or untrustworthy?

Why you always tryna play, I ain't got a clue right now
I don't understand why you always have to play games with me

Everything I ever wanted was someone, I'm watching them go
I always wanted love, but now I see it slipping away from me

Yeah, you said I'm scared for you
You said you're pretty scared for me

Lemme say a prayer for you
Let me pray that you'll be alright

Hope you never make it to the top just to find out there ain't nothing there for you
I want you to not reach your goals and realize it was all for nothing

And now the people tryna tell you that they care for you, never cared for you
The people who claim to care about you now, never really did so in the past

First time that you ever told me that you loved me, I know that was probably weird for you
I know it was unusual for you to express your love for me the first time

'Cause I didn't say it back, I'm so caught up in the past, and I know it wasn't fair to you
I didn't respond with an 'I love you too' because I am stuck dwelling on the past, which wasn't fair of me

Maybe I don't see the world like I'm s'posed to
Perhaps my perspective of the world is different than it should be

Maybe I'm just living in a nightmare
It's possible that I am simply living in a nightmare

Maybe all the people that I thought that I was close to, Wouldn't be around if it wasn't for my career
It could be that the people I thought were my closest friends are only around because of my success and career

Yeah, this third record doesn't pop off, how many people 'bout to drop off?
If this third album isn't successful, I wonder how many people will stop supporting me

I know how it works, if the record doesn't work, then it's my fault
I understand that if the record fails, the responsibility falls on me

I'm in a room full of fans singin' my thoughts, my God, wooh!
It's surreal to be in a room full of fans, who understand and sing along to my deepest thoughts
