[Intro : Akshay Adith]

You see me now

I'm broken

One day, we gon make it out

Hope you know it

You did me wrong

And you knew it

Is this all

Hopeless romantic


[Verse 1 : Monelo]

She got me feeling like a victim

A sin to feel love, got me fighting all its symptoms

He prolly promised her a kingdom

But the palace don't matter, it's how you treating the princess

She on the edge of the balcony

If I climb and quote Shakespeare, she gon signal the guards

But if he climb and fake his death, she gon swallow that poison

Then die on my arms blaming hersеlf for his wrongs

She praying to a different God

I got thе cross with the christ, she got the crescent and the star

Under a burkha, without her make up

Yet don't care about her looks, her mind is enough

And I'm willing to starve, like she on that ramadan

But I ain't going iftar

She got that independent organ

So imma eat nothing, reduce to nothing

Carve it on my tomb, death by lovesick

She in love with someone else

None other than the fella who I'm for the best man

A decade-old friend

She in the backseat with him, while I'm in the front driving drunk

Don't look at the rearview mirror, shit, I fucked up

Crash the three-wheeler into the ocean, have it sunk

Can't balance on two wheels and this fool want two kids

Will this last or will it be my last

You prolly thinking if she's real this time

You're goddamn right


[Verse 2 : Akshay Adith]

She got that killer mind

And never lies

But you picked the wrong ally

Au revoir

Though I'm leaving it all for you

What you couldn't have done for me

When the sun comes down

I can hear you knocking on the door right now

When the moon goes down

I can hear you fucking on that guy right now

I'd rather die alone

Stop it with that killer tone

I'm losing myself in the middle of all this


[Verse 3 : Monelo]

Excuse my french but what the fuck mademoiselle?

He only looking at you as an object damn

No strings attached, while I wanted to tie them knots

Ain't going vulnerable, building my own citadel

I'mma look at you as only my therapist now

No catching feelings anymore, miss Florence nightingale

You not the only paradise, I'll make a new one

I'm moving on, no longer your favorite student

But I had the power to sabotage his and your bond

Knew secrets pon secrets to tear y'all apart

I could've alarmed you about the real him

But all it would've done was make you sad and pissed

So I talked to him

Slapped the lust, hate and ego out of him

Slapped the love, kind and honesty out of me

There go your knight in shining armor

Wipe off your tears and live happily ever after

I could've, I could've, I could've

I could've told the whole truth and nothing but the truth

And have her for myself

Fuck him, all he wanted was just a hook up

How could he look at you at that way

But I couldn't see her get hurt

And I couldn't see him not know her worth

So I put myself in the crossfire

Opened his eyes and sacrificed cuz I just wanted to see her smile


[Outro : Akshay Adith]

You see me now

I made it out

I told you so

Now what's left

Another day

Another girl

Fuck

It's my life

Au revoir
