The Other Man

(Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh)
We both need some space right now
That's what I'm told
So I'm just looking for some hope
That I can hold
But am I fooling myself
Everytime I get close, she's talking me down
I got two knees on the ground
'Cause I don't wanna be here with anyone else
My heart
Beats so
So slow
I'm lovesick
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Now I'm the other man
One of us stays, and the other one's leaving
Now I'm the other man (oh, oh, oh, oh)
Now I'm the other man
One of us stays, and the other one's leaving
Now I'm the other man (oh, oh, oh, oh)
Yo
Let's switch it up now
So now they sayin' I'm the other man
Huh?
You got me wonderin' where do I stand
And now I got these broken pieces in my hands now
You got me worried
I trip, trip, I'm trippin' girl
You got me thinking, envisioning how we used to kick it
If when I'm missin', you dissin', you doin' shady business
'Cause with the distance, you distant, and I can feel the difference
I'm reminiscin', and wishin' you never did this (my heart)
I see your face in all my pictures and my memories (beats so)
You always said you'd never lie to me, I can't believe (so slow)
And now I'm flipping through the pages of this tragedy (lovesick)
Lovesick, I'm lovesick, uh
(Now I'm the other man)
That you were playing these games when I hit you with that ringtone
(Now I'm the other man)
That you would never fully mind, the time flew out the window (oh, oh, oh, oh)
(Now I'm the other man)
And now I'm losing my mind as I'm going through these photos
(Now I'm the other man)
Oh he's a big boy prince mince? (oh, oh, oh oh)
Oh no
