Ten Toes Down
Ray Vaughn Lyrics

It was s'posed to be me and you until the end of time
Ray thought he and his lover would be together forever

I should've payed attention, you was sending signs
Ray admits that his lover was giving him warning signs that he ignored

I never thought I'd see the day a bitch would make me cry
Ray is surprised that a woman could make him emotional

But did you love me or hate me it seems like you can't decide
Ray is confused about whether his lover truly loved him or not

Wish you'd make up your mind
Ray wants his lover to commit to either loving or hating him

You looked me dead in my eyes and you told me lies
Ray's lover lied to him while looking him in the eye

I may have fucked up sometimes but shit thats normal guys
Ray admits to making mistakes, but reminds his lover that it's a human thing to do

I never fucked nobody else had no one on the side
Ray assures his lover that he never cheated on her

I mean for you I tried
Ray did everything he could to make his relationship work

And I ain't treat you up to par so yeah I'm half to blame
Ray acknowledges that he didn't always treat his lover the best

But after some mistakes some things will never be the same
Ray knows that some actions can have permanent consequences

Dory the fish and I wish I could just forget ya name
Ray wishes he could erase his lover's name from his memory

Wish I could delete these memories to get rid of pain
Ray wishes he could forget the memories of his failed relationship

Remember nights in Ver-san-ty you said you wouldn't change, huh
Ray remembers his lover promising that she wouldn't change

But I guess you was just running game
Ray realizes that his lover was lying to him

I waited for you to come around but you never came
Ray waited for his lover to come to her senses, but she never did

I guess the last three years of my life it was spent in vain
Ray feels like he wasted three years of his life on his failed relationship

New years day I caught you coming down the step
Ray caught his lover leaving his home on New Year's Day

See the goal was to tell you I wish that you never left
Ray wants to tell his lover that he wishes she hadn't left him

See the goal was to tell you, ever since I've been a mess
Ray is admitting to his lover that he's been struggling since their breakup

No the goal was to tell you its something that I regret
Ray wants to express his regret to his lover

But its obviously something that you can't accept
Ray's lover can't accept his apology

Because you was more upset that I'm showing up unaddressed
Ray's lover is upset that he's showing up unannounced

And got something to say, I got something to say
Ray has something he wants to say to his lover

And I drove 4 hours this way just to get it off my chest
Ray drove four hours to talk to his lover and express himself

So will you listen to me, and can we talk alone
Ray wants to have a private conversation with his lover

But then you don't respond, act like your voice is gone
Ray's lover is not responding to him, choosing to remain silent

And that shit had me hot, I'm like whats going on
Ray is frustrated that his lover is not communicating with him

I know that I'm not perfect, but what did I do wrong
Ray is questioning what he did wrong in the relationship

I'm tryna fix this shit, I'm tryna show you grown
Ray is trying to make amends and show his maturity

Man fuck a argument, I know thats what you want
Ray doesn't want to argue, but knows that's what his lover wants

You tell me watch my tone, and then you say go home
Ray's lover tells him to watch his tone and leave her home

I say I need my clothes, but then grabbed your phone
Ray grabs his clothes and his lover's phone before leaving her home

Now, due to the fact that you angry and all emotionless
Ray's lover is upset and not showing any emotion

I just grabbed your cell-phone and you ain't even notice it
Ray took his lover's phone without her realizing it

With thoughts that Imma do if I find something inappropriate
Ray is considering what he would do if he found something incriminating on his lover's phone

But someone called the cops so I waited before I opened it
Ray didn't open his lover's phone because someone called the cops

I waited like - 2 or 3 days just so I could take it
Ray waited a few days before taking his lover's phone

I told myself that its facts and facts man I gotta face it
Ray is preparing to face the facts that may be on his lover's phone

A broken heart it ain't nothing to play with
Ray is acknowledging the pain of a broken heart

Turn on your phone and then, BOOM - the notification
Ray sees a notification on his lover's phone

I'm reading, slowly losing my patience
Ray is reading the messages on his lover's phone and getting more frustrated

'Cause you told another nigga last night was amazin
Ray's lover slept with someone else and told them it was amazing

You said this weekend was crazy and that you wouldn't trade it
His lover had a crazy weekend and does not regret it

And now I'm starring at this phone my eyes are filled with hatred
Ray is filled with hatred as he looks at his lover's phone

To keep it real - thats not even the worse
Ray knows that the situation could be worse

To keep it all the way real thats not even what hurts
There is something else that is hurting Ray more

What hurts is, including him you slept with your ex nigga too
Ray's lover slept with her ex-boyfriend as well as someone else

What the fuck man you think in reverse
Ray is confused about his lover's actions

And damn why I gotta be the last to know
Ray is upset that he was the last one to find out about his lover's infidelity

Figured out answers to questions that I done asked before
Ray has found answers to questions he had previously asked his lover

When shit like this happen, I guess you have to grow
Ray knows that situations like this can cause growth

So I won't ask if you love me I'm sure the answer's no
Ray doesn't need to ask if his lover still loves him because he knows the answer is no

I had a lot of sleepless nights that I cried to you
Ray cried to his lover during many sleepless nights

I was waiting on that moment, I could "I do" you
Ray was waiting for the moment where he could propose to his lover

By any means I got what was always nice for you
Ray always tried to provide his lover with the best he could

But now that I'm your ex Ray I see right through you
Ray now sees his lover's true colors after their breakup

I was ten toes down, I would never leave
Ray was committed and devoted to his lover

I came second in yo life, like the letter B
Ray felt like he was only second best in his lover's life

Mentally drained I gave you all of my everything
Ray gave his all to his lover and it left him feeling drained

You dogged a good nigga I swear that you need your pedigree
Ray believes that his lover missed out on a good man and needs to learn from her mistake

Wanted to text your phone but I just let it be
Ray wanted to text his lover, but decided against it

Cas Stevie Wonder with your feelings you could never see
Ray thinks his lover is blind to her own emotions

How much damage you done caused when I begged an pled
Ray is upset about the damage his lover caused, despite his begging and pleading

Teacher's pet, I expected you to never cheat
Ray expected his lover to be faithful
