E's Song

History got a funny way of repeating itself

We got a decade of history

We locked in like a sentencing

I'd accept all the charges to have you pinned to me

Picked on you first time we met

I can't recall what I said

That's how I flirted back then

No way you feeling me

I had to work double time just to not rejected

You moved in from a new school

I should've been accepting

Eventually you saw my intentions was pure

I got in good with you for sure

And if problems came up

I was protection

We started off as just friends

Best friends

I wasn't tripping bout it

Cause I stayed consistent bout it

Knew I'd outlast anybody that ever got interest out you

That age I didn't know how to communicate or tell you that I had some real feelings bout you

And so it went unsaid

First time feeling regret

A teenage mindset

Confidence wasn't developed yet

We spent more time together

You helped piece my mind together

I couldn't hold it no longer and so I said

I won't let another day go by without saying

How much you mean to me

Mean to me yeah

As long you're here I'm always 'round

I ain't playing

Baby you gone see

You gone see

You started to catch some feelings

And then it got more romantic

It finally turned in my favor

It's working out like I planned it

A lot of people stuck on labels

And the what are we's

I was more focused on the future

And what we could be

Blurring the line between dating and setting the boundaries

Truth is that better off as friends the safest thing we could be

Cause what if it all goes south

And 6 years pass by without you ever seeing me

That would be devastating

That was reality

Yeah that's just what happened

I wasn't focused as I am today

You was really out of my league

Checked up on each other occasionally

Holidays texting to see

If the number changed

Would hate to see the thread changing to green

I swear your man was really green

We had more reasons to stay in touch

You shared birthdays with my father

I still had love for you but didn't think it'd go any farther

I shifted focus to music so at that point its why bother

I won't let another day go by without saying

How much you mean to me

Mean to me yeah

As long you're here I'm always 'round

I ain't playing

Baby you gone see

You gone see

Saw your engagement post

It didn't get engagement from me

That was on March the 16th

We had just spoke the 11th

Can't accept seeing you with somebody

That's crazy to me

Even though we hadn't seen each other for 6 years

That still was too crazy for me

I couldn't even text you congratulations

I played it so weak

I needed closure

Maybe time would help me take the weight off

You moved to New York week before I went and did On The Radar

Music on somebody radar

I saw the ring in person

Guess you finally found your person

Never did acknowledge it

The chemistry we still had together was astonishing

As if we had seen each other everyday for 6 years

It felt like something promising

But I fell back

October came around you had to circle back

You wished me happy 26th

Thought you might've forgotten that

Then Christmas time came

I used Santa to hit you back

And then I saw you in the Ville and then my heart hit the mat

Tap tap tap tap

I saw the same person I loved at 14

Except we both now finally living our dream

I always got a seat for you on the tour bus if you decide to join the team

Or maybe I could fly you there

If you have change of heart

I'll get you everything you need

Cause these days I'm more vocal 'bout everything

Ain't no secrets kept between us

No

I won't let another day go by without saying

How much you mean to me

Mean to me yeah

As long you're here I'm always 'round

I ain't playing

Baby you gone see

You gone see
