I, lost you a long time ago
I, really I just want to know why
Yeah, can they, can they hear me though(we can't be together)
I don't think they, I don't think they can hear me(together)

Held me close then let me go, like did you fold
Felt a change in relations and then you journeyed on
Was calling me messy but didn't see what he was on
Arguing about what was said but was I in the wrong
Flooded with emotions, had to put the shit in a song
Hold me close until you honestly just can't no more

Not literally, I really meant that shit figuratively
When it was all said and done, who let the negativity get in the way of all the positivity(Damn)
Now she can't even stand me, had to block me on everything just to show that she meant it(She what)
Comparatively, I meant every word of affirmativity
Didn't you swear to me you would never just up and leave
But that one mistake got me with my heart on my sleeve(Damn)

Guess we wasn't destined to be, so now I gotta focus on me
So now I get to find my peace and take the time I need
Trying to get myself together in all this stormy weather
Lighting strikes, the rainy days, the late nights

Starting to feel like nothing's ever going right
I know I said hold me close but get it right
Wanted you to hold me close but not that damn tight
Wishing I could tuck in Peyton when it's bedtime

Hard to process, I'ma need some more gigabytes
This is shit that I'll be thinking about all night
Tried to give her everything, took me for granted
Now I need something new, gotta replenish

No rel, no relish, no relic
I'm feeling hella embellished just by the way that I'm writing about the pain that I cherish
Ya'll better hand me my flowers, especially while I'm still here

Swear she got til the hour
Hourglass is my patience, praying to God that I make it
I'm trying to cash out a statement
I'm thumbing straight through these faces

Clear views of blue waters, a great picture
Fresh squeeze that CFA off the gray pitcher
It's all American, Damon Sims, a great pitcher
Like Simone, I get it

That one bitch really selling you short
That one nigga that transfered just wanna be boys
But these niggas, they really out here just trying to make noise
I get it, it's selfish

We human can't help it
So I talked to God
All honesty, it felt accepting
Like he was waiting for me even when I lost connection

Talking way before routers, I'm talking B.C. the founders
Time to write these wrongs
Call me Bryson or Black Panther
Give me just a second

When I drop, you'll be spamming anthem
You can keep playing
You know the boy, he gon' get some answers
Duffy in the building with more bricks than Bob Builder

Heart froze with white hair and a broad shiver
Without true love, you know the cursed stay out-witted
A go with the flow type of nigga, play out with it
Look, never made a mistake I didn't learn from

Not misogynistic, live by the rule of thumb
And I say f*ck love, this shit too complicated
But makes sense when I'm intoxicated and still up for debating
I know one girl who posts to impress the nation

I know another girl who seeks out validation
When she already knows that she's been validated
Had these niggas fascinated, now I'm running out of patience
Man, that shit was agitating

Yeah

Held me close, then let me go
Like did you fold
Felt a change in relations and then you journeyed on

Was calling me messy but didn't see what he was on
Arguing about what was said but was I in the wrong
Fluttered with emotions, had to put this shit in a song
Hold me close until you honestly just can't no more

Not literally, I really meant that shit figuratively
When it was all said and done, who let the..

I, lost you a long time ago
I, really I just want to know
Why, we can't be together
Together
