This Can't Be Love

[Verse 1]

Uh, I watched as she walked across the room

The way she carried herself swept me up like a broom

And soon, back then, had I known when I'd meet her

I'd go from comfort to catchin' butterflies when I'd see her

I can't believe there was a point in time that I would just converse wit' her

Never thought everything would reverse wit' her

Now she passes by; I'd look to say, "hi," she'd look away

I'd look away, she'd look back, and I'd have nothin' to say

I couldn't say why simple phrases became so tough to say to her

I wonder why things had to change so much

I remember the days that I used to say, "hello," and she'll say

"Hi, Jet 2, I hope you're keepin' them good grades"

Or at least that's how it would play out in my mind

Which always turned a bad day into a good day for me

And I knew she was somethin' special to be

But it seems that special is somethin' that just wasn't meant for me

So I'm guessin' that I've just taken things for granted

But how could it be granted

When I never wished a day in my life that I'd meet her?

And I never wished that things would end up like this either

And I never wished that

I would be lost up on the star that I was dreamin' on

I forgot that my thoughts never came with ladders

To come down from the dream at all

Which is why I keep dreamin' on

Because it's either that, or I fall

And you know what they say

If you ever hit the ground while you're dreamin'

So I work harder to stay above the clouds while I'm sleepin'

And homies say I should give her up

Random people think I'm dumb

And I think I should quit, but I can't and I just don't get it

I get over for a minute, then I get to reminiscin'

Then I remember all the good times I've been missin'

Then I see what I should listen to, and that's my heart

So fuck what other people think of me

Or what they think of how I feel about another person

They'd probably kill themselves in my situation

So I'ma stay to what I feel is best; I ain't changin'

My mind is set, I ain't gon' let some random people change it

Now why would I do that when even I can't change it?

But even I can't change the fact that things change

When even I remain the same, which is why I remain the same

Or at least I try to, either that, or it's the only option I'm given

It's like I'm cursed wit' lovin' by livin'

And even hate can't reverse the voodoo that you do to me mentally

It feels like these moments are extrasensory

But ain't shit meant to be; at least to me

So I keep it pushin', one foot in front of the other

And I go wherever life takes me

Even if to you is where it might take me

You can't predict the future

And if I live to see it, and it was meant to be

Thank God, but if not, see you in my memories, peace
