[Intro: Leroy Colbert Sr.]

I don't mean to hurt her feelings

I don't mean to fuss at her

I don't mean to do a lot of things

That I do do, I don't mean to do it

But like I said, I'm a just have to bring

Myself together

[Chorus: Jordan Cordel]

Yeah I knew better

Lord knows I can do better

But the lust of your love

Got me pulling up on you anytime whenever yeah

Yeah I knew better

Yeah I knew better

Better

[Verse 1: Jordan D. Mitchell]

I’m sick of putting forth effort

When you make me question my worth

And we got unresolved trauma

We know this shit will not work

Damned If I delivered the world

And you returned me a block

After all that I heard why

The fuck did I trust a thot

You got me cursing to god

Me and them don’t talk quite a lot

They call this shit growing pains

Call it a hole in my heart

Thought I knew better this

I was tryna hit it and dip

You told me to stay and I did

I feel like clown in this bitch

Like I just wanted to fuck

And you got way to close

And the nights you didn’t stay

I would feel so damn alone

I miss you by my side

But by myself will I grow

Forever you hold my heart

And You refuse to let go

You got niggas and bitches

That you fuck on side

But when you venting or sad

We in my car late at night

You said no strings attached

And yet our hearts end up tied

Cupid lit the wrong match

The nigga wasted our time

[Chorus: Jordan Cordel]

Yeah I knew better

Lord knows I can do better

But the lust of your love

Got me pulling up on you anytime whenever yeah

Yeah I knew better

Yeah I knew better

Better

[Verse 2: Jordan D. Mitchell]

Moonrise when I kissed your lips and told you that I love you

And if we keep one hundred I never trusted in you

Skip class to walk yo ass home your essence enchants my soul

We been through heartbreak before didn’t think I’d could suffer more

Shawty, my friends didn’t trust you

They said you play too much games

And damn they were right

I look back embarrassed in shame

And I think how in the hell

Could shawty run this game

On the player who mastered the tricks of the trade

You wrote me a poem and

I made you a symphony

You told me you loved me I

Thought you were feeling me

You opened my heart

I ain’t know you were killing me

And I hate this part cuz

I let you get into me

Disposable cameras an

An allegory to our memories

I wrote you a love letter and

Played you all the melodies

You went M.I.A when you

Thought you were pregnant

And pulled up to my crib

Blackout drunk and

[Verse 3]

How we in our early 20s loving people we can’t trust

And it never really hit me you might never give a fuck

I wish you all the best, I hope your having fun

You made me feel blessed when the devil kept her touch

You been flaking so much I don’t think your word bond

And you mad when I get mad now I think I’m in the wrong

Some bitches get a poem and you got a couple of songs

Tell you leave my ass alone, but I never miss your calls

I almost lost my niggas tryna defend the cuts you made

Girl our love is broken glass best proceed with caution tape

The wound runs deep, can’t bring in nobody new

But i know for damn sure that i won’t end up with you

I tried my best to return, you tried and yet you failed

You need self reflection and I need a farewell

We made magic happen, I know you could tell

I fucking hate myself, wish I could disappear

I’m alone in my home, and nothing ever felt the same

I’m alone in my soul, I be hoping for that day

Sometime we could pretend that we didn’t reach the end

But shawty in the end I fell before my sins
