[Intro]

First time I saw you

I knew I wanted to be with you

(You'll never understand my love)

Only to find out

That you with someone I know

Damn, consequences

This a love song


[Verse 1]

I was so low, so many times before

I broke so many hearts, I did it so cold

I remember the day, I heard you say

You're my only one, please babe don't play

I'm a stay love until you say we done

Then I'm gone with the wind, porshe truck on dubbs

The break up was a curse to us, now I miss you so much

That I'm insane for your touch (This love)


[Chorus]

You'll never understand my love (My love)

You'll never understand what went wrong

You'll never understand why I'm gone

All the struggles I took on

All the times I fought to hold on

All the things we knew were wrong

All the times you drove me to 'em

You didn't know how to love me right

Took you back one time (Time)

You convinced me things would be alright

Don't get me wrong

I try to hold on


[Verse 2]

The first time I saw you at that slow jam concert

You was ten deep with your girls just flossing

I showed up, I was with my ex

She a thick ass freak, Indonesian and Mex

Eye contact, you was feeling my vibe

You was turned on by my criminal mind

My ex tripping, saying who was that

Had to take her ass home and get right back

You was sweet as cherry pie

You wrote love letters, when I did my time

This paradise, not rolling the dice

And not loving you, would be committing a crime

Slick moves to the game I brung

I was raised in the streets, but you the one

I'll tell you now, that you my favorite girl

And if I leave this world, I wanna die in your arms


[Chorus]

You'll never understand my love (My love)

You'll never understand what went wrong

You'll never understand why I'm gone

All the struggles I took on

All the times I fought to hold on

All the things we knew were wrong

All the times you drove me to 'em

You didn't know how to love me right

Took you back one time (Time)

You convinced me things would be alright

Don't get me wrong

I try to hold on


[Verse 3]

You bailed me out before my prints came back

I was out the door before the hold came back

Next day in the morning, PO talking shit

'Cause I ain't got no job, I'm just hustlin'

Violate my parole, you talked him out of it

There's an angel on my side and I'm proud of it

This relationship, you kept it strong

You held me down, they couldn't break our bond

Wouldn't do you wrong at least not willing

Should of known from the gate that with a player you dealing

You caught feelings, I ain't even gonna lie

Oldie playing in the back, say I rather go blind

You made that mistake, you took me back

You trusted me had to win that back

I see the sadness in your teary brown eyes

I know you say it's over, but you dying inside (Forever mine)


[Chorus]

You'll never understand my love (My love)

You'll never understand what went wrong

You'll never understand why I'm gone

All the struggles I took on

All the times I fought to hold on

All the things we knew were wrong

All the times you drove me to 'em

You didn't know how to love me right

Took you back one time (Time)

You convinced me things would be alright

Don't get me wrong

I try to hold on
