Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You say I look good but I wish you could do better
Saw you moving on and I won't lie I got so fed bout it
I put in the effort you know I put you together
They broke you from the inside out
And now you intend on doing the same thing to me
Tell me why tell me why you gotta take it out on me
I got way too much pride too much pride
It haunt me when I wake up or I close my eyes paid the price
It feel like I built you back up for someone elsе to come and take you down
You pushed mе away when shit got tough for you now I'm the clown
I gave it my all you gave me half of you with all your drama
I took it in kind and let it slide you got lost in the crowd
You stay tripping
Funny how this shit between us going nowhere (Going nowhere)
Always end up in the same place I don't want no conflict
Keep saying baby don't go there don't go there
Treat me like the bad guy when all the love I've given you was so rare
Look me in my eyes baby lie to me
Tell me to my face baby tell me that you don't care
Working on me cause you left me no choice
When you left you know I was tryna do the right thing
I was on the grind 9 to 5 you were grinding on somebody else 4 to 5
Like I'm just another flame thank God
You got in your own way
You ain't show me what I'm missing out cause all I see is bullets I dodged
Don't take it the wrong way
But fuck it I gotta say what I need to say
Being with you feel like a job and I just don't like it no more
Why you gotta take your past out on me
Keep it one hunnid make it make sense
It was you and I alone now it's one plus one makes three
Break it down for me would you please
Let me know what's on your mind
How the fuck you hurting me with such ease
Either you give a damn or you don't I ain't tryna stick around for it
Need to take a second just to breathe
Breathe on my own baby just let me be
It's lonely at the top of my throne is it my destiny
Plummeting down plummeting down to earth tryna know my worth
Been on cloud nine too long it's a gift wrapped up in a curse
Putting myself first
Gotta learn to put myself first
Since I don't do it for you no more
You been playing these games on me
And I don't feel like dealing with you at your worst I don't
Just can't keep fucking around with you
I know the last time that we spoke ain't go as well as I planned it to
I went on overdrive and you drove me crazy
Went silent on me you did
Went ahead and got a new man in your life
Turning back is not an option cause we're through
You stay tripping
Funny how this shit between us going nowhere
Always end up in the same place I don't want no conflict
Keep saying baby don't go there don't go there
Treat me like the bad guy when all the love I've given you was so rare
Look me in my eyes baby lie to me
Tell me to my face baby tell me that you don't care
Tell me that you don't oh
Tell me that you don't
Tell me tell me tell me tell me
Why the last day you found me
Still stuck around I know that shit's astounding
One day I think I'm get you bodied
That's why inside it's killing me softly
I wanna tell you more but I gotta go
l gotta go l'm done l'm done

I know the last time that we spoke ain't go as well as I planned it to
I am aware that the last time we spoke did not go according to my expectations
I went on overdrive and you drove me crazy
I became overly intense or obsessed, and you caused me to become mentally unstable
Went silent on me you did
You stopped communicating with me abruptly
Went ahead and got a new man in your life
You moved forward and found another man to occupy your life
Turning back is not an option cause we're through
Going back to how things were is not possible because our relationship is over
Tell me that you don't oh
Tell me that you do not
Tell me that you don't
Tell me that you do not
Tell me tell me tell me tell me
Please inform, explain, or confess to me
Why the last day you found me
Why did you discover or encounter me on the final day
Still stuck around I know that shit's astounding
You remained present or involved even though it is surprising or remarkable
One day I think I'm get you bodied
One day I believe I will defeat or surpass you
That's why inside it's killing me softly
That is why internally it is causing me great pain or distress
I wanna tell you more but I gotta go
I want to share more with you, but I need to leave
l gotta go l'm done l'm done
I have to leave, I am finished, I am finished
