  • I don't know why I even try
    'Cause you don't want this no more
    I would rather leave before I hurt you
    And I would have died long ago if I didn't have my faith
    I see you're starting to hate me
    I see it in your face

    My home don't feel like home
    Just like my heart, it's empty
    Changed the number on your phone
    So when I call, you ain't gotta listen

    And all your girls think that I ain't shit
    And they the same ones lost in the club
    Them bitches is basic
    Now I'm number one that's lost in love
    I can't take it
    I'm on my knees, you're gonna see a grown man cry
    I won't lie

    I'm starting to hate me
    A little more and more each day
    I don't know me
    It's like I can't get out of my own way
    And you don't love me
    You don't love me
    If I knew better
    I would do better

    Looking at the names on your list and I can't find me
    I'm deep underwater
    Are you gon' let me drown?
    I see you're happy now
    You're the life of the party, acting out
    Ain't seen you in months
    You ain't call me once

    And all your boys say that I ain't shit
    And they the same ones lost in the club
    Them niggas is basic
    Yeah, and I'm the one who lost in love
    And I can't take it
    I'm on my knees
    Don't you hate to see me cry?
    I won't lie

    I'm starting to hate me
    A little more and more each day
    I don't know me
    It's like I can't get out of my own way
    And you don't love me
    You don't love me (oh)
    If I knew better (yeah)
    I would do better, better

    Thinking 'bout you and I
    Thinking 'bout you and I
    My heart's beating in slow motio
    Knowing that it's over
    Thoughts got me thinking 'bout suicide
    Baby, this is do or die
    When you told me it's over
    Ain't no point in being sober
    All I wanna do is fade away (fade away)
    I hope that God will forgive me
    'Cause I know you ain't gon' miss me
    Baby girl, I won't try, to say my goodbyes
    You ain't gotta shed a tear for me
    Baby girl, don't cry (oh)

    I'm starting to hate me
    A little more and more each day
    I don't know me
    It's like I can't get out of my own way
    And you don't love me (no more)
    You don't love me (no more)
    If I knew better
    I would do better (I would do better, I would do better)

    I would do better
    I would do better
    I would do better
    I would do better
    I would do better
    I would do better
    I would do better Writer/s: BRENT PASCHKE, CHRISTOPHER BROWN, GLASS JOHN, OMOLOLU AKINLOLU, PATRICK HEWLETT
