Anniversary
Redd Stylez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm sitting here all by myself
On the day that we met
Wishing you were still here with me
You kept trying to warn me
But I just wouldn't listen
Oh no
I remember when
Just like it happened yesterday
You would say "I love you"
And I say "I love you too"
Should be over it
Cause now we've gone our separate ways
A part of me
Just can't let go of you
All my homies say "Boy, stop tripping"
And my mama said "It's time to be a man"
But tell me how can I move on
When my heart is still holding on
To the day when we were more than friends
You never know a good thing
Until it's gone
Now I'm all alone
Wishing that you'd come back home
I know that I hurt you
I didn't deserve you
And it's killing me
All these memories, baby
I ain't sleep
Since the day you've been gone
I keep changing the station
Cause they playing love songs
If I never hurt you
I did you so more
That you'd still be here with me
On our anniversary
When I'm missing on our plans
That we may sitting in my room
Thinking Damn
How did I let you slip from these arms
Then together since the ninth grade
Kissing up in the halls
Holding hands
Late night talking on the telephone
I'm lost if you're not with me
My world just stayed the same
(Why Why)
Please don't let it
(Die Die)
Feel like I'm about to
(Cry Cry)
I can't be without you now
You never know a good thing
Until it's gone
Now I'm all alone
Wishing that you'd come back home
I know that I hurt you
I didn't deserve you
And it's killing me
All these memories, baby
I ain't sleep
Since the day you've been gone
I keep changing the station
Cause they playing love songs
If I never hurt you
I did you so more
That you'd still be here with me
On our anniversary
If I have to get down on my knees
And beg for mercy
I'ma do it girl
Said I'ma do it baby
I'm down on my knees
And begging you please
Girl, I was stupid
I was so dumb to let you go
Oh na na na na na na
Oh na na na na na na
Oh na na na na na na
Oh na na na na na na
(Baby, don't you take them away)
I ain't sleep
Since the day you've been gone
I keep changing the station
Cause they playing love songs
If I never hurt you
I did you so more
That you'd still be here with me
