Could've Been
Nyla Lyrics

Had to learn to let it go
I had to learn the importance of moving on and releasing things that no longer serve me.

Watered down with tears baby let yourself grow
Instead of allowing my emotions to drown me, I should let them nurture and fuel my personal growth.

You only need yourself forget past mistakes
You don't need anyone else's validation or approval, and it's essential to let go of past mistakes and not let them define you.

Don't be scared to cut em' off it'll make your life great
Do not fear cutting off people who bring you down; it will lead to a more fulfilling and positive life.

Don't worry bout What it could've been and Who they prolly with If they got yo text, put em' on the block list
Stop dwelling on what could have been and who they might be with now. If they ignore your messages, block them and focus on moving forward.

All that don't matter if they don't know your worth
All those things are insignificant if they do not recognize and appreciate your true value.

I know hurts but baby put yourself first
I understand that it may hurt, but prioritize your own well-being and put yourself at the forefront.

Worry bout your priorities Who you wanna be
Focus on what truly matters to you and who you aspire to become.

You know you a boss, watch them come back on they knees
Recognize your strength and confidence, and observe how those who underestimated you will come crawling back.

I don't know about you but I know about me
I may not know about your experiences, but I am familiar with my own and what I need in my life.

If he stressing me out know that ain't what I need
If someone is causing me stress and unhappiness, I understand that they are not what I require in my life.

I never think about what it could've been
I don't waste my thoughts pondering about what could have been in the past.

Leave the past in the past let it blow with the wind cause
I leave the past behind and let it fade away naturally, just like leaves carried away by the wind.

I ain't gonna beg nobody to stay I know my worth
I refuse to beg anyone to stay in my life because I am aware of my own value.

So ima go my own way
Therefore, I will confidently choose my own path and direction.

Life's too short to have me trippin
I don't have time to be worried or bothered by trivial matters because life is too short.

I ain't got no time to waste so ima get to dippin
I have no time to waste, so I will swiftly move on and leave behind what doesn't serve me.

He not acting right ima put it to an end
If he is not treating me properly and with respect, I will end the relationship.

It wasn't now, so I don't care bout what we could've been
Since we didn't make it work at this moment, I don't concern myself with what we could have become.

I don't wanna be the one to always put the effort in when you don't show none
I don't want to be the one who constantly puts in effort and care into a relationship when the other person doesn't reciprocate.

I got money moves to make and You be acting fake baby now you can't get my love
I have important financial goals to pursue, and I can't give my love and affection to someone who pretends and behaves insincerely.

Put my energy in me And my love ain't cheap you've been hurting me for free
I will invest my energy and love into myself because my love is valuable, and you have been causing me pain without any cost to you.

To walk away don't cost a thing
Walking away from this situation doesn't require any payment or sacrifice.

Only thing I chase is the green
The only thing I strive for is financial success and prosperity.

I got a word for ya If they wouldn't do the same don't let em' burden ya
I have some advice for you: if those people wouldn't support you in the same way, don't let them weigh you down or burden you.

I ain't trippin off a lame it's just common sense
I'm not bothered by someone uninteresting or not worth my time; it's just basic logic.

Insecurities speak louder than your confidence
Insecurities have a greater impact and influence than your confidence and self-assurance.

So get yo bag up Don't shed no tears you know you da baddest, been that way for years
So focus on securing your financial success and don't waste your tears. Remember, you have always been the best and strongest version of yourself for years.

Pop out brand new you'll be stuntin on the old
When you emerge as a new and improved version of yourself, you will be impressing and surpassing your former self.

And if they try to come back baby don't fold
Even if they attempt to come back into your life, don't give in or compromise your boundaries.
