[Verse 1]

I remember that call like it was just yesterday

I’d said those words to you and honestly was afraid

Cause I never meant to hurt you, definitely not in this way

But the truth is that we both had to go our separate ways

And now I think about never really asked you wanted

Were you fine with a relationship spanning a couple miles?

Was a family and kids something that woulda been rewarding?

Or were fine with us taking it one day at time?

I remember how it felt when we be dancing to lucky

How every time felt like the first time

Or the nights, stay up late, on the phone talking for hours

Truth be told that was our only time

Yeah I messed up and I know

But I’m glad we was able to grow

And move passed it all

Become a friend not a foe

Yours sincerely

From you already know


[Break]


[Verse 2]

I know this might sound crazy but I learnt from my last

So from the jump, wanna let let you know that this might not last

Cause I’ll be out of here in maybe bout a couple of months

And you was cool with it so we thought that we’d give it a chance

In the public eye we never really had no privacy

Really no time for you and me

Shit gave me mad anxiety

Plus we argued bout stupid shit

Either that, Either this

Way too many antics

Everybody up in our biz

I liked you spoke your mind and you always would bare it all

You never held nothing back from me ever at all

Confidence oozed from your pores

And you was real to the core

Mighta had our differences

But what we had was rapport

And when you told me that I never tried to give us a shot

I told you why and what my logic behind all of that was

And then you said to me; “you ever gone give a girl a chance?”

Truth is that questions hit me deep in the gut

I knew the answer was


[Break]


[Verse 3]

You wanted sunshine and rainbows

All I got is grey sky’s and rainstorms

Maybe right it’s person and wrong time

Maybe love’s something I won’t find

Loved me more than you loved yourself

And you Didn’t keep much love for yourself

That’s why I Didn’t give you all of myself

Cause I wanted you to love yourself more

You were the only reason that I gave love a chance

I might have messed around but, never tried advance

To any woman or girl cause I never had plans

Of being with anyone but that wasn’t until I met you

Your aura is poetry

Your loving in honestly

The most beautiful, ballad, record, chorus or song to me

And though our priorities put us on different odysseys

You know that you’re never more than a heart beat away from me

Yeah


[Outro]

Hi baby

It’s me and I just called to tell you I love you

And I’m super excited cause I’m actually able to leave you a voicemail for the first time ever!

Cause I don’t get blocked and sent straight to voicemail, which isn’t even a voicemail

But anyway, yeah I just wanted to call cause I forgot and I was supposed to call you yesterday and I fell asleep at like 7 so that’s my bad

But yeah, if you get this, I love you

Text me

Bye
