Yeah
This is me
Fighting for you
I didn't do it then
So I'm doing it now
How do I know
How do I know
You mean it
Just because you sing it
That does not mean
That I believe it
It's too late why you pleadin
Why you pleadin
Yeah
Met her online
It was bout nine on a May night
I had just liked the latest pic she posted
On the timeline I swiped then slid
Right into her inbox like
Girl you look good Im just sayin
I am fresh out of a six month crush
There won't be no delay in me
Tryna make my next push
What such high integrity
Nah
Yo I acted like some innocent who
Couldnt do no wrong and said
Everything youd wanna hear
If youd been strung along
Movin right along
We didnt talk too much at first but
Damn we hit it off
When I thought about what I looked for
In a person
She was all Id ever asked for but
Damn I dropped the ball
I was in awe of who I had come across
Too bad I aint have the gall
To live up to the hype I sold her
Memories are all I got
Back when I'd hold her
Id do anything and take anybody on
But I was shoved into a corner and did
Nothing
Shouldve fought cause
Staring at my dashboard blew her off
My heartbeat stopped
Do I bring her up thinkin itll lead us
Back together
Nah of course not
Im bold but I dont need a refresher
I remember
Yeah
Bein a member at the dinner table
Weeknights in September
Eatin tacos with your family
Prayed the evenings would last forever
And I never saw the end in sight
Like my forecast wasnt clever
How was I supposed to know
Our hiccups were a tremor
If you were a feather
You would have the mass of
Psychoneurotic pressure
How could a bond turn catastrophic from
The barter of raw pleasure
I oppressed her
Lead her to my bed and tried my hardest
To undress her
Ima wicked man held captive by the tempter
Im the lessor of the prequel to this evil
Hes my predecessor
In the sequel did it register
That the list of songs said
Dont pretend the menace aint a monster
I professed remorse but like an immature
Imposter
My discourse for what I sought to destroy
Became my collar
I coulda prospered
If Id followed in the Lord's direction
Mightve had a shot at fewer disappointments
Guess when children wander
What they step in is detention for
Eternity
The lesson here is just because it feels like
Love and looks like love
Does not mean that youre in it
Its deceptive cause in her presence
I had certainty
In her exit I had none
There's a grain of sand thats sinkin
As the hourglass decreases
Independent of the other specks of dust
Yeah
I trust that we all suffer as one
