So Long
Yelawolf Lyrics

You was just a baby girl looking for a new job
You were a young and inexperienced woman who needed a job.

I was typhoon, cartoon for you to watch
I presented myself as a fun and exciting person who could distract you from your problems.

Took you by the belt loop, said, "How can I help you?"
I offered my assistance and support to you.

How can I assume you would tie me in two knots?
I never imagined that you would cause me so much pain and heartbreak.

All the shit that we went through Wasn't worth holding on And you said, "So long" And I said, "So long"
Despite the difficulties we faced together, we both agreed that our relationship was no longer worth maintaining and decided to move on.

You must've been sick of my shit and I never seen it
You must have grown tired of my negative behavior and I failed to realize it.

You must've saw the demon that slipped and then got between us
You likely witnessed the negative influence that drugs or alcohol had on our relationship.

I thought I was invincible to you inside my zenith
I believed that my success and good fortune would make me immune to any problems in our relationship.

I told you to leave but you know I never really mean it (mean it)
I said hurtful things to you out of frustration, but deep down I never actually wanted you to leave.

Now good idea, a fucking genius Leave the one person behind whose love for you is the cleanest (cleanest)
In hindsight, it was a terrible decision to push away someone like you who loved me unconditionally.

Or to see whose trash is clinging to my bullshit When in fact my grass was the greenest
I was too focused on finding fault in our relationship instead of appreciating the good things about it.

But me and that bottle was a repeat song I drug you down that road and the road was long
My addiction to alcohol was a major problem in our relationship, and I dragged you down with me.

But I'm about as wrong as one man can be wrong And all I wanna do now is come back home 'Cause I love you
I was completely at fault for our problems, and now that I'm sober and clear-headed, all I want is to come back to you because I still love you.

Ninety nine bottles of pain killers all gone Ninety nine reasons I gave you to leave me alone Ninety nine days in a slump, three months and no call I got ninety nine problems and I'm the reason for them all
I was dealing with a lot of personal issues - addiction, depression, and being a bad partner - which caused our relationship to fall apart.

Still the son of a bitch you met, still drinking myself to death
I am still struggling with addiction and self-destructive behavior, and I have not changed much since we first met.

Still stuck tryna find my father, the search isn't helping yet
I am still searching for my own identity and dealing with unresolved issues from my past.

I sent you a seldom text at night when I seldom rest But you closed the curtain on me, now I'm just a silhouette
I attempted to reach out to you in moments of weakness, but you rightfully cut off contact with me.

I felt like an animal, but an animal's not a pet Yeah it's all fun and games until water's running red I don't know why I had to hurt myself just to feel regret But I need you that your love isn't finished yet, damn
I acted like a wild and unpredictable animal, causing harm to myself and others in the process. I don't understand why I needed to hurt myself to finally realize my mistakes. But despite everything, I still believe that your love is valuable and not yet gone.
