[Intro]
You promised the world and I fell for it
I put you first and you adored it
Set fires to my forest
And you let it burn
Sang off-key in my chorus
'Cause it wasn't yours
I saw the signs and I ignored it (scared to lose you)
Rose-colored glasses all distorted
Set fire to my purpose
And I let it burn
You got off on the hurtin'
When it wasn't yours, yeah
I saw the signs and I ignored it (scared to lose you)
Rose-colored glasses all distorted
Set fire to my purpose
And I let it burn
You got off on the hurtin'
When it wasn't yours, yeah
[Verse 1]
I was always there when you wanted in a hurry
You didn't even mind if my hair was looking bummy
You treat me like a king and for that, B, I'm sorry
I know I should do more but I'm focusing on money
I know you like the way how them other brothers' gully
Shootin' and a bootin' leave the scene in a hurry
But that ain't the path that I chose to go down, I worry
You'll find your light in the lifestyle, so will you hold it down? (I saw the signs and I ignored it)
'Cause you hold the crown (Rose-colored glasses all distorted)
Around and around (Set fire to my purpose)
And I don't wanna be with no one else (And I let it burn)
I gotta spill the beans (You got off on the hurtin')
I'm honestly just scared to lose you (When it wasn't yours, yeah)
[Chorus]
I saw the signs and I ignored it
Rose-colored glasses all distorted
Set fire to my purpose
And I let it burn
You got off on the hurtin' (scared to lose you)
When it wasn't yours, yeah
[Verse 2]
Everybody said we're a match made in heaven
Natural gifts and hard work, the 10 and the 7
We built a foundation together, past and the present
I'm seeing a future for us 'cause that's where we're heading
We were equivalent
The cancer to scorpio
The Bonnie to Clyde
Or the Juliet to my Romeo
We're the red and the blue mixed together
Make it turn indigo
That's why nobody can tell me I should let it go
We can sing the songs and the melodies (we can sing the songs and the melodies )
We continue fighting for the legacy (we continue fighting for the legacy )
We're the yin and yang, forget the jealousy (we're the yin and yang, forget the jealousy )
We be staying flowing in serenity (we be staying flowing in serenity)
And you're the only one I think about the very most
You can play me close like the butter plays the toast
Even in the afterlife we're vibing 'cause we're ghosts
[Spoken Outro]
T'heh
I just dunno what I'd do if I lost you
[Outro]
To love, love, yeah
To love, love, yeah
To love, yeah
I needed to lose you to love me, yeah
To love, love, yeah
To love, love, yeah
To love, yeah
I needed to lose you to love me
