Intro

I feel like sometimes
You try to make sense of things that you're suppose to
Understand in the moment
You'll understand when it's time to understand
And I just want you to know like
I'm thinking long term not short term
You know when I make my choices

[Verse 1]

Yeah
I Remember I was out doing Christmas shopping
MIL Team got a show, they bout to get it popping
I was tired, ain't want to go the performance
Robi told me pull so f it I'm going
Got there, and I saw my homegirl
She wasn't by herself she was with her homegirl (Who that?)
Nice hair pretty slim redbone
Type of smile that could light the whole room
We drinking just vibing in the back
Telling jokes she even made me laugh
She told me that she don't even got a man
Fronted on the number so I settled for the gram
Next day she hit me with the digits
Then I asked her out I hype she was with it
First date we went to see Queen & Slim
She probably thinking this could be me & him
Down to ride oh she's down to help me
I remember she wanted to take a selfie
That pic still in my phone under favorites
I recall what you wore down to the fragrance
We was moving fast, I want to take it slow
Take time to build, you know let it grow
I was acting shy until the 3rd link
You trying get me drunk got me on my 3rd drink
By the sink on the kitchen counter
24/7 yo I be thinking bout her
Calling her my girl when I'm talking to my mans
Valentines Day introduced her to the fam
Went through my phone saw me texting different hoes and
Next thing I know she's beating me with the roses
Fuck them other girls because I want you
Ain't want to say it too soon but I love you

(Bridge)

I feel like
To see the picture sometimes you gotta really step back
I'm starting to understand where you coming from now
This whole relationship stuff is new to me
It's going to take time and take patience
I'm willing to put that work in

[Verse 2]

How many times did I apologize
I looked you in your eyes and I straight up lied
Out of my mind I tried to justify
Like it was one girl and just one time
But I fucked up and the trust is gone
And it's fucked up cause the love was strong
You had my whole heart and I really cared for you
Even from the start I was always there for you
Yeah we still dating but things changed up
After you cheat you don't get the same love
Not the same kisses nor the same hugs
It's like we just fucking we don't even make love
Don't want to push you away but we need space
A shakey foundation is bound to break
If you love something then let it out it's cage
If it comes back then that mean it's here to stay
Bumping Bryson lord please save her for me
Can you please do this one favor for me
Cause love is war and Ima veteran
I promise to come back a way better man
Account for your emotions, make you feel secure
Let you know you're mine and that I'm yours
No half assing really give it my all
Pride like Summer comes before the fall
Not a perfect match just pairing with ya
Be more honest and transparent with ya
Photoshoots reinvent your parents picture
Have a kid or two and just parent with ya
Is this blessing or is this lesson?
But I know it's more vital for progression
On how to treat a woman simply as a man
So if you don't come back I truly understand

(Outro)
Damn
