[Verse 1]

You ask me why it won't work out

Why somebody in my heart is somethin' that I won't allow

Why I can't trust love but give this shit a chance

'Cause I've done the start, middle, and the finish of the dance

I've seen the good times, and they ain't really worth the bad

Heard all of they lies that coulda been saved by the facts

Gave all that I had and wasn't givin' it all back

You should know better than that, 'cause that's the reason that I rap

[Chorus]

'Cause all I've ever known

Is love leads to me being alone

Heart locked, you can try to break in

Just to guarantee that you can never break it

Yeah, tell me I'm all you need

Yeah, please, tell me that we're meant to be

I seen the story of a heartbreak

Next day, you say, "You really mean nothing to me"

[Verse 2]

'Cause I could give you every second

Every compliment, girl, I guarantee I meant it

We could talk forever, talk like it couldn't get better

Talk about our lives and talk how long we know that we'll be together

'Cause right now it's all new, so true

Yesterday was gray as ever, now our skies are looking blue

Thinking you gotta be the one, 'cause shit like this don't come in twos

To ever think it might fall short, but really right now what's the use?

Feeling to right to ever-ever go wrong

They say love's a drug, but ain't no one on what we on

Reality even better than dreams, we up to the dawn

They say we gotta chill out, we too busy doin' what we want

Slow down, smell the roses

Beauty is the thing that knows us

Our love is somethin' we see to be more lovely than rosebush

But this the thing that grows us

The thing we overdoses

We forget inside the beauty is the thorns of the roses

[Chorus]

'Cause all I've ever known

Is love leads to me being alone

Heart locked, you can try to break in

Just to guarantee that you can never break it

Yeah, tell me I'm all you need

Yeah, please, tell me that we're meant to be

I seen the story of a heartbreak

Next day, you say, "You really mean nothing to me"

[Verse 3]

Waking up today, what the hell is this shit?

What happened to yesterday? Gotta say, I miss it

Every compliment I give, girl, you only flip it

To make it all so negative, why the hell you trippin'?

I ain't bein' different, you're just tryna be the victim

I'm tryna make it better, girl, but you won't even listen

How we gonna get around if you won't even talk about it?

'Bout to be so over it, 'cause honestly I've really had it

Oh, so you wanna go back to the old days?

It isn't our fault, it's like you want to block the sunrays

Used to be a two-lane, you're making it a one-way

Keep it up, I'll take off and turn it to a runway

And I ain't playing, I know you'll do it too

But you ain't even tryna to make it work, I actually wanted to

Only after the fact are there people who notice

Sometimes we lose the beauty in the thorns of the roses

[Chorus]

'Cause all I've ever known

Is love leads to me being alone

Heart locked, you can try to break in

Just to guarantee that you can never break it

Yeah, tell me I'm all you need

Yeah, please, tell me that we're meant to be

I seen the story of a heartbreak

Next day, you say, "You really mean nothing to me"

'Cause all I've ever known

Is love leads to me being alone

Heart locked, you can try to break in

Just to guarantee that you can never break it

Yeah, tell me I'm all you need

Yeah, please, tell me that we're meant to be

I seen the story of a heartbreak

Next day, you say, "You really mean nothing to me"
