By Myself
Trina Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I feel like I'm by myself
I'm here I'm so alone
Every time I turn around, I see your face boy
I wish I was by myself (myself)
Said I wish I was by myself
I don't need you no, no more
Every time I turn around, I see your face boy
I wish I was by myself (myself)
Said I wish I was by myself
No pain, no more, no more
All my tears and all my cryin'
Nothin' is change cause you still lyin'
What you're sellin' I'm not buyin'
Don't you stop me, I'm ready to go
I don't need your circumstances
I'll just leave it, take my chances
Tired of playin' in fake romances
Don't you stop me, I'm ready to go
You said that you'll be, forever truly
How you lied so clearly
You can start over,
But you wont be near me
Every time I turn around, I see your face boy
I wish I was by myself (myself)
Said I wish I was by myself
I don't need you no, no more
Every time I turn around, I see your face boy
I wish I was by myself (myself)
Said I wish I was by myself
No pain, no more, no more
Now put yourself in my position
I'm a late-night trickin'
While you home cookin'
I went my dog's right n' lookin'
Oh we in the strip club
Throwin' up dozens
When you ask me for some cash
I'm lookin' at you funny
I ain't got no money
Baby I'm broken
I can do you how I wanna
Cause I pay your card though
Remember I've given you the check
I'm the nigga
I got friends so whateva'
I understand that your betta'
You said that you'll be, forever truly
How you lied so clearly
You can start over,
But you wont be near me
Every time I turn around, I see your face boy
I wish I was by myself (myself)
Said I wish I was by myself
I don't need you no, no more
Every time I turn around, I see your face boy
I wish I was by myself (myself)
Said I wish I was by myself
No pain, no more, no more
You said that you'll be, forever truly
How you lied so clearly
You can start over,
But you wont be near me
You said that you'll be, forever truly
How you lied so clearly
You can start over,
But you wont be near me
Every time I turn around, I see your face boy
I wish I was by myself (myself)
Said I wish I was by myself
I don't need you no, no more
Every time I turn around, I see your face boy
I wish I was by myself (myself)
Said I wish I was by myself
No pain, no more, no more
