[Verse 1]

Now, I'm reminded of the summer

When I thought I knew you

A fool, believing everything you told me

And even maybe last winter

When I thought your heart was in it

And you said you'd do whatever for me

I was lured into lies, got lost in your eyes

Let you violate my trust time and time again

And when you cried about your life

I would sympathize

Welcome you with open arms, my friends, they call me foolish

[Pre-Chorus]

Too many times

I put myself on the line trying to protect you

Similar to a drug

It took me too many doses 'fore the poison hit me

Now, I'm left here, feeling like

I been struck by lightning, this is frightening

'Cause everyone warned me and I didn't believe them

Now, I want you to know

[Chorus]

Although you may be grown, it's evident you haven't been raised

Coming from a broken home with little friends, that's your claim to fame

I had to learn that I could not believe a thing you say

But you gone learn the hard way, baby

You cannot break the arms that hold you daily

[Verse 2]

You claim to came from the hood

Often misunderstood

Abused, neglected, and looked down upon

And all I did was treat you good

When no one else could

Bare to even look at you

Broke relations with you friends

Manipulated them with no attempts to make amends

That should've warned me

If I would've listened to my mother

Or maybe all the others

That tried to warn me that you was schemin

[Pre-Chorus]

Too many times

I put myself on the line trying to protect you

Similar to a drug

It took me too many doses 'fore the poison hit me

Now, I'm left here, feeling like

I been struck by lightning, this is frightening

'Cause everyone warned me, but I didn't believe them

Now, I want you to know

[Chorus]

Although you may be grown, it's evident you haven't been raised

Coming from a broken home with little friends, that's your claim to fame

I had to learn that I could not believe a thing you say

But you gone learn the hard way, baby

You cannot break the arms that hold you daily

[Bridge]

And I don't hate you 'cause you made me better

Girl, that shit's made me better

And I promise I can get through anything

No matter the weather

Baby, look what you did

Girl, I loved you, you could've had my kids

You thought you would be the one

But, girl, I thought you was wrong

When you did what you did

You thought you was clever

But girl, your shit could've been better, baby

[Chorus]

And I want you to know that I don't really hate you

See, the truth is

The truth

You know the truth is, baby

I wish we was still cool

I wish we was still cool, baby

But now, I got to wish you well

Girl, you was wrong as hell
