You said you love me

Girl/boy, you were wrong

If you wanted this, you would've just come home

You said you needed me

Girl/boy, did you lie?

Tellin' me you miss me, but you won't drive by

I guess, misery loves misery

And I can't help no more

I can't save your soul

I didn't wanna let you go

It it's real now, come down, 'cause I can't tell no more

When you feel low

I didn't wanna let you go, but

I'm not your momma

Not your provider, your adviser

My heart was still pained from all that I should've said lighter

But I fight her

Baby, you thought I was older

If I was wiser

Then I would know

How to have kept you, how to protect your mind

'Cause I tried all the things

I provided the thoughts in my mind

That I hope was just lies

And I cared for you, baby

I swear I wanted to be there

So don't ask me how we fell apart

I really don't know

You have to tell me

Girl/boy, I really don't know

You have to tell me

Girl/boy, I really don't know

You have to tell me

Girl/boy, I really don't know

You took me, both our families, and so much love for granted

And it pains me that I had your back when I shouldn't have had it

And I shouldn't be mad

I shouldn't even be sad

'Cause honest I was told

Still I couldn't let you go, so

I lied to my momma, to save all the drama

That was shit in the past tha's why

You weren't even honest, till I bought it

Baby, if I was older

If I was wiser

Then I would know

How to have kept you, how to protect your mind

I tried all the things

I provided the thoughts in my mind

That I hope was just lies

And I cared for you, baby

I swear I wanted to be there

So don't ask me how we fell apart

I really don't know

You have to tell me

Girl/boy I really don't know

You have to tell me

Girl/boy I really don't know

You have to tell me

Girl/boy I really don't know

I can't let you go

You said you needed me
