Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah

I need somebody who's not gonna stress me
And peak my anxiety (please, chill)
I need somebody who fuckin' respects me
And doesn't keep tryin' me (please, please, please)
Never again, never again
That was the last time (for real)
Never again, never again
I said that last time

Your lack of understandin' (fuck)
Patience, poor communication
Got me feelin' like there's
No more point in tryna make this work (work, work, work)
Oh-oh, can you blame me?
No-oh, yeah, yeah, yeah

But every time I dive in it (swim)
Fuck around and damn near die in it
Swear on everything though, I'm finished
We be havin' fights every five minutes
Yeah, no, no
I be at your crib at like 5PM
I'ma get my shit, I'ma give you your things
I don't wanna talk to you, I just wanna be out
I ain't tryna hear shit that you talkin' about
Yeah, time's up, baby, I'm gone (gone)
I'm cool with the fact that maybe I'm wrong
Can't do it anymore, I gotta choose me (choose me)
I can tell you never thought that you would lose me
But here we are, and there I go
And there you stay (stay)
And here we are, and there I go
And there you stay

I need somebody who's not gonna stress me
And peak my anxiety (please, chill)
I need somebody who fuckin' respects me
And doesn't keep tryin' me (please, please, please)
Never again, never again
That was the last time (for real)
Never again, never again
I said that last time

Your lack of understandin' (fuck)
Patience, poor communication
Got me feelin' like there's
No more point in tryna make this work (work, work, work)
Oh-oh, can you blame me?
No-oh

This shit gettin' low
I don't wanna do this no more
Stop playin', you know
Why you gotta be so cold?
I'm about to fall right back (back)
Call you, then I hang up, then I call right back (back)
Once upon a time you had it all like that
Now I'm movin' on and I don't wanna hear another thin' about you
No, no

Yeah
You tellin' me you gonna change shit (please)
That you gonna work on havin' honest conversations
Stop with all the silent treatment
I don't have the patience (yeah)
You gon' say whatever just to make me stay, you ain't shit
Stop talkin', I done heard that line (shh)
I ain't tryna hear another word this time (quiet, quiet, quiet)
Oh, you thought I would've fell for that again? No

I need somebody who's not gonna stress me
And peak my anxiety (please, chill)
I need somebody who fuckin' respects me
And doesn't keep tryin' me (please, please, please)
Never again, never again
That was the last time (for real)
Never again, never again
I said that last time

Your lack of understandin' (fuck)
And patience, poor communication
Got me feelin' like there's
