Brandy
Thought You Said

[Intro: Brandy]
Baby, baby, baby

[Verse 1: Brandy]
Take a good look at me (No, no)
I've been cryin' from the lies, it hurts so bad inside, I can't even think (No, no)
Ain't never had nothing to make me break me down to the core, tryin' to heal the pain (No, no)
Here to show you a compromise of heart though I'm fallin' apart
Till there're no remains (No, no)
What had me thinkin' your word was your bond? (Don't you know, know me?)
Didn't have to call it love if you knew it was a situation you wasn't ready for (Trust me)
Yeah, I could see your feelings had changed but damn, you just slammed the door (On me)
Poor me, the one that you said you'd put down your whole life for (I love you)
I can't comprehend this deck of cards you've dealt me

[Pre-Chorus: Brandy]
How can you turn on me?
How can you? How can you?
How can you, purposely?
How can you? How can you?

[Chorus: Brandy, Diddy]
Lesson learned, house can burn, we're close to heat (Oh)
Bet your words don't mean nothing to me (Yeah)
Thought you said, thought you said that you love me
Thought you said, thought you said that you need me
Thought you said, thought you said you complete me
Thought you said you were never gonna let it go (Yeah)
Thought you said, thought you said when you held me (Thought you said)
Thought you said, thought you said when you tell me (Thought you said)
Thought you said no one else could replace me (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Thought you said that you're never gonna let it go (Yeah, listen to me now)
[Verse 2: Diddy, Brandy]
The times that you weren't there
The times that you left me here
The times that I needed you
You know my love is true
My passion's inside for you
The nights that I cried for you (We cried together)
A man has these feelings too
Same shit that y'all go through
I've been here before
Sometimes, the pain you ignore
Until it's right at your door
And you just can't take it no more (Can't even look me in my face)
Why does love feel this way?
Why does it hurt so bad? (Oh, no)

[Pre-Chorus: Brandy]
How can you turn on me?
How can you? How can you?
How can you, purposely?
How can you? How can you?

[Chorus: Brandy]
Lesson learned, house can burn, we're close to heat (Oh)
Bet your words don't mean nothing to me (Yeah)
Thought you said, thought you said that you love me
Thought you said, thought you said that you need me
Thought you said, thought you said you complete me
Thought you said you were never gonna let it go (Yeah)
Thought you said, thought you said when you held me (Thought you said)
Thought you said, thought you said when you tell me (Thought you said)
Thought you said no one else could replace me (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Thought you said that you're never gonna let it go
[Verse 3: Diddy, Brandy, Both]
The heartache and pain
Sometimes, it goes to your brain (I thought you'd be here)
Sometimes, it makes you insane
Sometimes, our joy is our pain (A true love is there)
'Cause it tears you apart (Oh)
These affairs of the heart
I think I'm strong but I'm not (Oh, no)
And when I look in your eyes, you know it kills me inside (I'm goin' insane)
But I can't wait for that day that you come back to me, girl (Oh)
After we both go away (I'll fall in love with you again)
It's just to see if it's real, there's no denying the fact (Again)
It's meant to be if you let it go
And then, they come back (Again)
If this is our last dance, we need to practice our steps (Oh, no)
The situation, I left behind, but your heart's what I kept
You said I did you wrong, you did me wrong, we was both at fault
And of course, you lost me with your alibis and all of your talkin'
And most important, I just question myself (How can you, how can you?)

[Bridge: Brandy]
The pain (I need your hand)
Is taking over, I just can't believe (I need your hand)
What happened then, compared to now, is dreams (I need your hand)
And I know now your future ain't me, me
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 4: Diddy, Brandy]
I can't sleep, I can't breathe (Oh)
I ain't eat in days (No, no)
Stomach pains from arguing
Didn't you cheat on me? That's how the problems started
And as far as I'm concerned, we learned our lesson well (And we're makin' it better, this shit don't matter)
It's all in the healin' and that process has got me stressin' (Oh, we're tryin' to move)
I'm so pressured, I'm so physically drained, I ain't thinkin' straight
I loved you more than my own self (I'm holding my hands up too)
Although I couldn't bear the pain of seeing my old self
Young, wild, uncontrolled self
Callous and cold (You're the one in my heart)
I love you, girl, I don't need no one else (How can you, how can you?)

[Chorus: Brandy]
Lesson learned, house can burn, we're close to heat (Oh)
Bet your words don't mean nothing to me (Thought you said)
Thought you said, thought you said that you love me
Thought you said, thought you said that you need me (Oh, I thought you said)
Thought you said, thought you said you complete me
Thought you said you were never gonna let it go (How can you, how can you?)

[Outro: Diddy, Brandy]
When I look in your eyes, you know it kills me inside
Didn't you, didn't you? (Oh, didn't you, didn't you?)
Lesson learned, house can burn, we're close to heat
Bet your words don't mean nothing to me (How can you, how can you?)
These affairs of the heart, I think I'm strong but I'm not
(Oh, yeah)
Thought you said, thought you said that you love me
Thought you said, thought you said that you need me
Come back to me, girl
How can you? How can you?
Thought you said, thought you said you complete me
Thought you said you were never gonna let it go
