[Hook]

I'mma keep it real

I'mma keep it real with you

You see love is hard

It's hard enough to deal with you

[Verse 1]

First off, let me start by saying this

I couldn't measure up

How in the world were you weighing this

When we argue do you consider how I'm taking this?

Your just a broken record and I'm still playing it

Claim this ain't a game and you ain't the one I'm playing with

You say I bit off more than I can chew

And you leave, but I ain't winning if I'm losing you

That's just common sense

I'm tryna make amends

Tryna get back to the way that things used to be

Don't let it die, don't write the eulogy

But usually, love ends bad, so crucially

Yeah, I never thought of how we'd end up

Hoping that together forever was how they picture us

And tell em frame it if you think the picture's clear enough

I just hope that you could hold it down

Got my mind off the prize, but I still want the crown

[Hook 2x]

[Verse 2]

Another argument;

Throwing shit around claiming that you call it quits

But you'll be back around

Like you come once a year

I waste time watching re-runs of Cheers

When your not around everything feels wrong

You think I've changed just because my appeal has grown

Miss the old days girls it's been so long

We went our seperate ways and I never felt so alone in my life

But, we had to do what was right

Only thing that really hurts is finding out it never works

I think of all the women I care for

What if they find a man that's better to me and they're prepared more?

And they end up happy in the long run?

No idea how hard it was to get this song done

How hard it took, how hard it took

Guess you'll never know

I'll never know how I let these feelings grow

[Hook]
