I Hope You Understand

I hope you understand

That I’m just being honest

And baby if you were my man

We can stay in contact

But I had to make amends

‘Cause I don’t see progress

'Cause if I had to let you go

I probably should’ve let you know

We don’t have to wait on things that are not meant for us

And we don’t have to play pretend, 'cause we don’t feel the rush

And I don’t want to lie to you

‘Cause I’m seeing someone else

And I ain’t got the time to do

Things that make no sense

And I think that it’s only fair

‘Cause I know you’re never there

'Cause could it be you’re not for me?

You don’t need my company

I don’t think we were meant to be 'cause

Suddenly you were very distant

Who am I to be telling you how to feel?

I hope you understand

That I’m just being honest

And baby if you were my man

We can stay in contact

But I had to make amends

‘Cause I don’t see progress

'Cause if I had to let you go

I probably should’ve let you know

And I can only speak for myself when I said I did no wrongs

Could’ve maybe given you time

But I, thought I did my part

Baby, baby, baby, baby

Cut me off some slack

‘Cause I know I could do better

But damn you did me bad

You can only speak for yourself

When you said you did no wrong, could’ve maybe given me time

But I, thought I did my part

And baby, baby, baby, baby

Cut me off some slack

‘Cause I know I could do better

But damn you did me bad

I hope you understand

That I’m just being honest

And baby if you were my man

We can stay in contact

But I had to make amends

‘Cause I don’t see progress

'Cause if I had to let you go

I probably should’ve let you know

I hope you understand

That I’m just being honest

And baby if you were my man

We can stay in contact

But I had to make amends

‘Cause I don’t see progress

'Cause if I had to let you go

I probably should’ve let you know
