Girl, i messed up real bad

I'm looking back on the days that we both had

I go to bed and i dream so hard

Of little mixed kids running in the front yard

I need you close, i need your kiss

I never ever, ever, ever knew a love like this

I, miss you more than puffy missed b.i.g

I didn't think that you would leave a hole this big

In my life, you need to be my wife

I made this song, i hold my pillow tight

And wishin' it was you, what can a nigga do

Fuck this success, fuck these interviews

Fuck these phone calls, girl you are worth it

When i was happy, you were happy, you are perfect

When i was blue, you were blue, you're my smurfette

I put my best chips on the worst bet

Girl, i need you like i need air

And fuck those other honeys, i will be there

I never ever, ever thought that i would be scared

Of living in a world when you're not there

My biggest fear is that you won't give a fuck

When you play this song on your macbook

"is that cg, yo, he is old news

I'm way too busy with my new dude."

The best time i ever had

Is kissing in my shitty ass kia van

I wish that it was me instead

Feeling all your pain

I know that it is different now

It will never be the same but

I swear to god, our love special

You can be my number 2 like one pencil

Or you can be my number one, i will let you

In on my life, i've changed so much since you

Left, that hotel room

And if you're with another guy, go tell dude

That he can never keep us apart, he needs a better door

He'll always be the guy that you settle for

I'll always be the guy you're s'posed to be with

Where the fuck is cupid when you need him

I'm so sam cooke, i need tea for two

I play sam cooke and i think of you

Baby girl we need to be together

This song ain't for my album

This song is for the better

And even though we living in a city full of strangers

They can see i'm different

They can see my anger

They can see my pain

They can see the way i talk about you

They see the way i living and i won't live long without you

I drink every night, i smoke more too

I guess it's safe to say death or you

I need you more now than i ever did

I'm still the same guy you fell in love with

I need a second chance like i need a prayer

Sometimes i think god just doesn't care

I hope he has a plan for both you and i

So we can be together at a different time

Remember when i come home late

And you'd be crying over some food on a cold plate

I'll never do that shit to you again

You're the most beautiful girl i ever known and my best friend

Baby girl we need to make up

And when i dream of you, i don't want to wake up

And when i don't dream, i don't want to wake up

I'd rather die now than not have your touch

Cause i miss you so much
