Lyrics

Yeah

Should’ve said sorry, but I laughed instead

Now look at me

You was real, I was actin’ pretend,

Tried to flex on you just to please my friends.

I played cold, never let you in,

Now I’m up late, scrollin’ through your pics again.

You saw through me, I saw your worth—

Still chose pride, now I live this curse.

You ain't pick up when I double text,

Guess karma talks when you move like a mess.

They laughed when I dubbed you, I played along,

Now I write bars just to right that wrong.

You moved on, I’m stuck in the past,

You post one story, I’m losin’ fast.

Every man’s got that one he regrets,

You the one I ain’t let forget.

She glow different, she don’t need revenge—

She just leveled up, never looked back again.

Back then, I curved you to stunt,

Now I’d give the world just to pull that stunt.

Told my boys you was "too on me,"

Now you ghost me, and it haunts me deep.

Back then, I acted like I didn’t care,

Now your name’s in every prayer.

Could’ve had love, but I chose the crew—

Now it’s late-night thoughts and a sky so blue.

You were soft with me, I was hard on you,

Tryna act cold, but you knew the truth.

I was scared of feelin’, scared of real,

So I joked it off just to never feel.

They rated me for bein’ a G,

But what’s a G if he got no peace?

They don’t know you the one that kept me sane,

Now it’s shots in the dark just to numb that pain.

You post up, and I study the details,

Even clocked your new man from the emails.

Mad how I played it like you meant less—

Now I’m out here beggin' the universe, stressed.

You deserved talks, I gave you silence,

You gave love, I gave defiance.

Now you laugh like I’m part the joke,

But I’m the punchline, choke by choke.

Back then, I curved you to stunt,

Now I’d give the world just to pull that stunt.

Told my boys you was "too on me,"

Now you ghost me, and it haunts me deep.

Back then, I acted like I didn’t care,

Now your name’s in every prayer.

Could’ve had love, but I chose the crew—

Now it’s late-night thoughts and a sky so blue.

If I could rewind, I’d hold your hand,

Say "You matter," instead of playin’ the man.

But back then, I was movin’ blind,

Now you the one I can’t get off my mind.
