Songz Trey Lyrics

Turn the lights on

She said I took way too long coming home last night
Said I be messin' with all these women
I been doing so wrong, wish I could make it right
Me and my bad decisions.

Guess it's my fault for not believing she could love, love me
Hard to believe I treated someone beautiful so ugly
Guess I broke to pieces her heart
Got used to seeing her crying, 'cause I went and pushed it too far
She got sick and tired of me lying, yeah

She said I took way too long coming home last night
Said I be messin' with all these women
I been doing so wrong, wish I could make it right
Me and my bad decisions.

Now she's gone, gone, gone
I should've listened, but I didn't
(Me and my bad decisions)
She said she moved on, on, on
And now I'm tripping, I should've listened
(Me and my bad decisions)

Now I got time to think of all I could've done different
Searched the whole world until I realized the one I needed
Was right there, I was tripping
Wanna what I know you know I love you
Don't I, Never took the time to tell you
So I, Know that shit don't even matter right now
Cause I'm the reason that your heart's shattered right now
And I, I know how to fuck a good thing up
Ain't I, Ain't that why I'm 'bout to lose your love
But that shit don't even matter right now
Cause I'm the reason that your heart's shattered right now

Guess I broke to pieces her heart,
Got used to seeing her crying,
'Cause I went and pushed it too far,
She got sick and tired of me lying

She said I took way too long coming home last night
Said I be messin' with all these women
I been doing so wrong, wish I could make it right
Me and my bad decisions.

God knows I've done some wild and crazy things in my past
And I can't take nothing back
Can't take nothing back, Forced to live with that
Pay the price for making bad decisions

Guess I broke to pieces her heart,
Got used to seeing her crying,
'Cause I went and pushed it too far,
She got sick and tired of me lying

She said I took way too long coming home last night
Said I be messin' with all these women
I been doing so wrong, wish I could make it right
Me and my bad decisions.

Now she's gone, gone, gone
And I know that I should've listened
But I
Me and my bad decisions
She said she move on, on, on
And now I'm tripping, I should've listened
Me and my bad decisions

I fucked up
No, no
Yes I did
Me and my bad decisions




Ain't no way I could take that back
Me and my bad decisions

One of my fav songs. When you know your worth, you don't need a soul to see you. Especially when they don't see themselves. Living in this material realm you see a lot of sick things and encounter weak, sick, sad ppl. Learn how to remove oneself from others who are this way. Happy Sunday funday!!!
