Ay-a-a-a

Baby I-I-I (Baby I)

I cant live too long like this

Cuz lately I-I-I (Lately I)

I been praying to God I can

And baby you-u-u (Baby You)

You picked me up and let me down

So tell me why-y (So tell me why)

Why’d you let me fall so fast

Late nights in the backseat

I was hoping you’d catch me

I fell fast as time passed

You wanted me and you had me

Outta questions you asked me

The future ones got past me

They say life is a gift

But the present did her badly

She’s got scars from her daddy

So she gaslight and attack me

She didn’t grow up round love

So she never learned how to be happy

She threw alla that at me

We both knew that was tacky

I loved her more than blood

To ’til this day that pain harass me don’t ask me

I know she’s gone but I think 'bout the future

I think I write these songs so that I never lose her

Gotta do this on my own just like how I used to

I love bein’ alone but it’s not what I’m used to, baby I

Baby I-I-I (Baby I)

I cant live too long like this

Cuz lately I-I-I (Lately I)

I been praying to God I can

And baby you-u-u (Baby You)

You picked me up and let me down

So tell me why-y (Why)

Why’d you let me fall so fast

When it all ends who do you call then

She was the best I ever had so I won’t call them

Got a lotta burnt ex flames that I don’t call friends

The second I cut ties they made it all end

I been doing some livin’ It ends up in my notes

I write about my life I am not tryna make quotes

You were worried bout posts I was worried growth

I wish we coulda met in the middle and both worried bout both

I swear I never lost hope wasn’t messin’ round on the low

So the day you left I was more than stressed and really down to let it go

See our love wasn’t just for show it didn’t leave with me on the road

See I was in it for the long haul and I made sure to let you know so

Bro I’ve got a hole in my chest instead of a heartbeat

You can say what you want but you’ll never outsmart me

I’ll deal with the hand I was dealt so they never harm me

I’ll go to war for myself I don't need an army baby I

Baby I-I-I (Baby I)

I cant live too long like this

Cuz lately I-I-I (Lately I)

I been praying to God I can

And baby you-u-u (Baby You)

You picked me up and let me down

So tell me why-y (Tell me why)

Why’d you let me fall so fast (Fall so fast)
