Prominent Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
and apologize to you
cause that ain't my style
It's very hard to say I'm wrong
Even though I know it's true
that just ain't my style
Love is all, love is deep
love is something you love to hate
I was wrong, you were right
must have been, my damn pride
That took your love away
I'm a liar, I'm a fake,
burn in hell for my mistakes
now you're gone, It's too late
to say I'm sorry
should've kept u safe from fear
should've wiped away your tears
should've been there, should've cared
you know I love you
I love you more than life
love you more with time
I'd do anything to have you back by my side
I'm drowning in my tears,
wishing you were here
but it's not too late to say,
I love you, I love you
A song for you
like the cries of Donny Hath'
But I wrote from you point of veiw
u do the math
It's like knowing what you're supposed 2 do,
still u can't
cuz when u had the chance,
u hesitated man
it's like talking with a ghost,
an image stuck in your mind
how could I've been so cold,
when u were so kind
I drove u away,
I was stuck in my ways
and all the things I wanted to say
I don't know what got in the way
must have been my pride man,
I'm too damn proud
for what?
Look at me now
look at me cry,
trynna deal with my emotions,
trynna get some sort of closure
what have I done, can't believe you're gone
this is much more than a song,
this is me on my knees,
holding my rosary-beads
between my palms losing a lady
Looosing the light of your life
and somehow
finding the stregth to carry on
like the true love between a child and a mom
like a bond between a father and a son
you and that special one
this is you waiting in vain
4 words that never come
respect is what we owe
and love is what we give
u deserve both
while I guess I never did
I love you more than life
love you more with time
I' d do anything to have you back by my side
I'm drowning in my tears,
wishing you were here
but it's not 2 late 2 say,
I live you , I love you, yeah yeah
I want you
I need you
Love you yeah he hey
Well well well
I'm a liar, I'm a fake,
burn in hell for my mistakes
now you're gone, It's to late
to say I'm sorry
should've kept u safe from fear
should've wiped away your tears
should've been there, should've cared x2
I love u more than life
love u more with time
I'd do anything to have you back by my side
I'm drowning in my tears,
wishing u were here
but it's not too late to say,
I love you
I can't fall down on my knees
and apologize to u
cuz that ain't my style
It's very hard to say I' wrong
Even though I know it's true
that just ain't my style

I can't fall down on my knees
I am unable to apologize to you in this way
and apologize to you
to say sorry for my past mistakes
cause that ain't my style
since it is not my usual approach
It's very hard to say I'm wrong
admitting my mistake is a tough task for me
Even though I know it's true
even though I am aware of the truth
that just ain't my style
this is not something I typically do
Love is all, love is deep
Love is a profound and all-encompassing feeling
Love was you, loving me
The essence of love was your affection for me
love is something you love to hate
Love can be complicated and make one feel conflicting emotions
I was wrong, you were right
I made a mistake whereas you were correct
must have been, my damn pride
My arrogant nature must have caused it
That took your love away
My pride was the reason for you leaving and ending our love
I'm a liar, I'm a fake,
I am dishonest and insincere
burn in hell for my mistakes
Feeling guilty and ashamed, deserving punishment
now you're gone, It's too late
You are not with me anymore and it's too late to fix things
to say I'm sorry
To express remorse and regret for my actions
should've kept u safe from fear
I should have ensured your safety from all kinds of fears
should've wiped away your tears
I should have provided comfort and support when you cried
should've been there, should've cared
I should have been present for you and shown more compassion
you know I love you
I want you to know that I truly love you
I love you more than life
My love for you is all-consuming and immeasurable
love you more with time
My love for you continues to grow with every passing moment
I'd do anything to have you back by my side
I would go to any lengths to be with you again
I'm drowning in my tears,
I am overcome with sadness and regret
wishing you were here
I long for your presence and companionship
but it's not too late to say,
There is still time to express my feelings
I love you, I love you
I want to tell you that I love you repeatedly
A song for you
This song is dedicated to you
like the cries of Donny Hath'
Like the emotional outbursts of the world-famous soul artist Donny Hathaway
But I wrote from your point of view
I wrote this song from your perspective, as if you were speaking to me
u do the math
You can figure it out
It's like knowing what you're supposed 2 do,
It's like knowing what actions you should take
still u can't
But for some reason, you are unable to do so
'cuz when u had the chance,
Because when you had the opportunity
u hesitated man
You were indecisive or unsure
it's like talking with a ghost,
It's like trying to communicate with something that no longer exists
an image stuck in your mind
A memory that has become ingrained in your thoughts
how could I've been so cold,
How could I have been so cruel or distant
when u were so kind
Despite my behavior, you always acted with gentleness and compassion
I drove u away,
My actions made you leave
I was stuck in my ways
I was set in my habits or behaviors
and all the things I wanted to say
All the things I wanted to tell you
I don't know what got in the way
I am not sure what prevented me from doing so
must have been my pride man,
It was probably my ego or self-importance
I'm too damn proud
I am excessively arrogant
for what?
For no good reason
Look at me now
See how I have ended up
look at me cry,
Observe me weeping
trynna deal with my emotions,
Attempting to manage my feelings
trynna get some sort of closure
Trying to find a way to resolve the situation
what have I done, can't believe you're gone
I cannot come to terms with the fact that you are no longer with me
this is much more than a song,
This is deeper than just a musical composition
this is me on my knees,
This is me humbling myself before you
holding my rosary-beads
Gripping my religious beads in contrition
between my palms losing a lady
Clasping my hands around the memory of a wonderful woman
Looosing the light of your life
Out of my sight is the happiness you gave me
and somehow
In a strange way
finding the strength to carry on
Discovering the resilience to continue despite the pain
like the true love between a child and a mom
Like the unbreakable bond between a mother and her child
like a bond between a father and a son
Like the strong connection between a dad and his boy
you and that special one
You and the one who was irreplaceable
this is you waiting in vain
This is you enduring the waiting for something that isn't coming
4 words that never come
The four words I never got to say
respect is what we owe
We are obligated to give due regard to others
and love is what we give
The thing we should always provide is love
u deserve both
You deserve both respect and love
while I guess I never did
And I suppose that I failed to do so
I want you
I desire you to be here with me
I need you
I am yearning for you to be by my side
Love you yeah he hey
I love you, oh yeah
Well well well
An expression of wonder or surprise
