[Verse 1]
Aye, took a flight out this summer
I tried to vibe out this summer
And never cry 'bout this summer
But I had to ride out the summer
I had to find what I wanted, though I wanted you
And I hoped you still wanted me too
But you just wanted someone new
But you just wanted someone new
So I had to find somebody too

[Verse 2]
Somebody to just keep my body warm in the winter
Wasn't eating like I used to, and my body got thinner
And my mind playing tricks on me, the tiniest whisper
Maybe you weren't really good enough to be the winner
I said maybe that's the reason, I guess I was a simper
And it scared me knowing
I would have to start at beginning
Used to be so strong, then I started to wither
Cold dark nights always end with the shivers
Everything comes to an end, waste of time tryna pretend
I was 17 years old, I didn't know what love even meant
I was in over my head, now there's boulders in my head
Then I got bold and said, "Go out with me"
To one of my friends, yeah
So we did, it's a lot of things that we did
I'm still paying off all the debts from things that we did
Took a toll on me, had to do what I did
Said that we had a good run, and I put the stuff to an end
[Chorus]
In a week or so, uh
In a week or so, my love
I'll be back home, uh
I'll be back home, will you
Be there when I get back, get back?
If not then I understand that
I just want, just want you back, but
I know that you don't want that, so

[Verse 3]
I'ma boss up, I'ma glow up all on my own
I'm a born king, so I'ma sit at the top of my throne
But when I'm at home and it hits me that I'm really alone
I'll dream of the nights we spent on the phone
Talking 'bout nothing, nothing was better than it
Fronting like we weren't both nervous and tryna settle it
Like reckless young kids sitting on the park bench
Holding hands, hoping that the summer wouldn't end, uh

[Chorus]
In a week or so, uh
In a week or so, my love
I'll be back home, uh
I'll be back home, will you
Be there when I get back?
If not I understand
I just want, just want you back
I know you don't want that
[Interlude]
And you know that I'm always, always going to be there for you. But I can't be there for you if you shut me out

[Verse 4]
Promise is a promise
If I don't keep it, then I send up my apologies
Sorry for the wait, sorry that I'm late
It's our anniversary, and I forgot the date?
Um, that's on me, that's my fault
And um, I'm sorry I ain't call often
I just been feeling pretty small often
Waiting 'til my cold, hard heart softens
