[Intro: Chipmunk]

This might be like, the realest hook I ever wrote, yeah


[Hook: Trey Songz]

I never thought I'd see the day when you wasn't by my side

Listen, I was down for you girl, put you first in my world and I thought you were down to ride

It's like you didn't want me to take off, take off, take off

It's like you didn't want me to take off, take off, but now I'm leaving


[Verse 1: Chipmunk]

Listen

I live my life in the limelight, pap lights, award shows

Red floors, boujee bars, yeah it's what I'm meant for

And we ain't quite the same as we used to be

My life's in the public eye, I know you don't want yours to be

Truthfully, 2 years in, it's still new to me

I wouldn't say you're comfortable, I would say you're used to me

Hence separatin' doesn't seem real

They tell me Chip keep the girl that you had before the deal, yeah


[Refrain: Chipmunk]

And you can call this my ref flow

'Cause this decision might determine how the game goes

Every time you get used to me bein' here, I go

On that note, that's my cue to go, yeah


[Hook: Trey Songz]

I never thought I'd see the day when you wasn't by my side

Listen, I was down for you girl, put you first in my world and I thought you were down to ride

It's like you didn't want me to take off, take off, take off

It's like you didn't want me to take off, take off, but now I'm leaving


[Verse 2: Chipmunk]

Listen

If it ain't a push forward it's a slow down

It's kind of ironic that I slow down

It's best that I go now rather than later

Before you claim I'm too busy chasin' that paper, it's true talk

And to say it's over, there ain't no good words

I don't think anybody breaks up on good terms

So I'ma hit the club, get my mingle on

Get my single on and throw it in a single song, yeah


[Refrain: Chipmunk]

And you can call this my ref flow

'Cause this decision might determine how the game goes

Every time you get used to me bein' here, I go

On that note, that's my cue to go, yeah


[Hook: Trey Songz]

I never thought I'd see the day when you wasn't by my side

Listen, I was down for you girl, put you first in my world and I thought you were down to ride

It's like you didn't want me to take off, take off, take off

It's like you didn't want me to take off, take off, but now I'm leaving


[Verse 3: Chipmunk]

They always ask me if I'm single in interviews

I was too scared to say I'm into you

Movin' like a single dude, didn't ever lie but I skipped the truth

It's past breaks now, fuck a interlude

On my own, feelin' like I've got a point to prove

Hungry but I don't wanna have my cake and eat it too

And it's not that I ain't feelin' you

I'm leavin' us, I ain't leavin' you, yeah


[Refrain: Chipmunk]

And you can call this my ref flow

'Cause this decision might determine how the game goes

Every time you get used to me bein' here, I go

On that note, that's my cue to go, yeah


[Hook: Trey Songz]

I never thought I'd see the day when you wasn't by my side

Listen, I was down for you girl, put you first in my world and I thought you were down to ride

It's like you didn't want me to take off, take off, take off

It's like you didn't want me to take off, take off, but now I'm leaving
