(I know-)

(Know its been hard)

Like talking to you, babe I miss you when you gone

So safe to me, you sound like a favorite song

Fuck with you the long way, not stringing you along

Got a face for broadway, babe you could be a star

(I'm a star!)

I call up your phone, so you pick up speaking soft

Ask you bout your day, and you tell me "it's been hard"

Listen to you vent, and wish I had you in my arms

I'll give you some advice, but you don't need it, girl you smart

Not to mention that you patient and persistent

You fell in love with me, watched me fall in love with these bitches

I made you feel conflicted second guessing your decisions

Some shit you don't deserve, but you forgave me, ion get it?

Shoulda close the gate and walked away when I went missing

Instead you chose to stay, and hid the pain that you was living

I act like I ain't noticed, what a fucking dumb decision.

Cause that pushed you away and you became another victim-

Problems in my heart I'm yet to solve

So I built up these walls and then I promised not to cross

Keep this shit platonic, so I promise not to call

Unless I'm mixing tonic in my yard while nodding off

Cause if that liquor hit me right, then I'm gone cry n inside these songs

As I'm forced to watch a life I fantasized but don't belong

If I close my eyes, it pass me by, it break my heart that I cant pause

I breathe it in just one more time until I cant keep holding on

You was ready for commitment I was scared to go the distance

And lose the innocence that you so deeply represented

Cant you see? it's so much more than hugs and kisses

Its like children in the yard, playing, racing to the fences

Sun setting, adolescence, summer heat been so relentless

Sit there on the swings, just you and me we making wishes

Remind me of a time, before I had to be so gifted

A time where pure existence, is enough for love thats given

Where love is not transactional, don't care bout private parts

We just dancing singing songs, playin with some sticks n rocks

A time before I got so jaded, by the danger that I saw

All the things that I endured, they only left me feeling lost

It's not that I don't want you, girl I wish I could be yours

It's not that ion love you, matter fact its so much more

Its some things that I cant change inside the lives that we was born

But that don't change the way I feel, and thats what really break my heart​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
