It's like whatever I do Oh Just can't get through to you Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh I'm never gonna tell you nothin' more Listen Now, now she loved me, shawty I loved her Used to jump up in the Maybach and roll out Used to care, she used to share The love that she used to give me can't be found I lost my way, she said she'd stay And lately I've been sleeping with a ghost My stock is down and out, I used to be worth my weight in gold That was before a great depression kicked in and rocked us And that was before the hurricane came, came in and stopped us I told you to leave, but you lied to me When you said that, "baby no worries I promise to get us back". I know sorries, just wouldn't do it Her heart is obliterated, I'm trying to travel through But it's like moving mountains It's like moving mountains Hey But I keep climbing and hoping things would change And the sky turns gray, and the water from the rain washes progress away It's like moving mountains (moving mountains) It's like moving mountains (moving mountains) Why just leave me? Just leave me be Just leave me Just leave me be Why you just leave me Just leave me be Why you just leave me Just leave me be, oh She, she don't touch me, I don't touch her We rarely even ever say a word I really want to give her everything she deserves But the bad took away the good She thinks that I'm full of it, arguments, always pissed, man I'm tired Every kiss that I miss, girl you know I'm trying You never believe when I say, and I never believe it when you say I love you, and I shouldn't complain about it I should take it like a man and walk up out it Cause we will never be the same, oh I've been standing in gas, and you have been the flame I know sorries just wouldn't do it Her heart is obliterated, I'm trying to get through Got to move this mountain It's like moving mountains Hey But I keep climbing and hoping things would change And the sky turns gray, and the water from the rain washes progress away It's like moving mountains (moving) It's like moving mountains (moving) Well baby why you just leave me? Just leave me be Just leave me Just leave me be Why you just leave me Just leave me be Why you just leave me Just leave me be, oh This must be a slow death that I'm travelin' on It feels so wrong, I'm barely holdin' on See no matter what it takes, I've gotta get it together (baby yea) And these hills that I'm travelin' up She ain't showin' me love I'm down on my love I know sorries just wouldn't do it Her heart is obliterated, I'm trying, I'm trying my boo But it's like moving mountains It's like moving mountains Hey But I keep climbing and hoping things would change And the sky turns gray, and the water from the rain washes progress away It's like moving mountains It's like moving mountains Well baby why you just leave me? Just leave me be Just leave me Just leave me be Why you just leave me Just leave me be Why you just leave me Just leave me be, oh
