  • I know you've been hurt by someone else
    I can tell by the way you carry yourself
    If you let me, here's what I'll do
    I'll take care of you (I'll take, I'll take)
    I've loved and I've lost

    I've asked about you and they told me things
    But my mind didn't change and I still feel the same
    What's a life with no fun? Please, don't be so ashamed
    I've had mine, you've had yours, we both know, we know
    They won't get you like I will, my only wish is I die real
    'Cause that truth hurts and those lies heal
    And you can't sleep thinking that he lies still
    So you cry still, tears all on the pillowcase
    Big girls all get a little taste, ah
    Pushing me away so I give her space, ah
    Dealing with a heart that I didn't break
    I'll be there for you, I will care for you
    I keep thinking you just don't know
    Tryna run from that, say you done with that
    On your face, girl, it just don't show
    When you're ready, just say you're ready
    When all the baggage just ain't as heavy
    And the party's over, just don't forget me
    We'll change the pace and we'll just go slow
    You won't ever have to worry, you won't ever have to hide
    And you've seen all my mistakes, so look me in my eyes

    'Cause if you let me, here's what I'll do
    I'll take care of you (I'll take, I'll take)
    I've loved and I've lost

    Yeah
    It's my birthday, I'll get high if I want to
    Can't deny that I want you, but I'll lie if I have to
    'Cause you don't say you love me
    To your friends when they ask you
    Even though we both know that you do, you do
    One time, been in love one time
    You and all your girls in the club one time
    All so convinced that you're following your heart
    'Cause your mind don't control what it does sometimes
    We all have our nights, though, don't be so ashamed
    I've had mine, you've had yours, we both know, we know
    You hate being alone, well you ain't the only one
    You hate the fact that you bought the dream
    And they sold you one
    And you love your friends, but somebody should've told you some'
    To save you, instead, they say

    Don't tell me, I don't care
    If you hurt, I don't tell you
    You don't care, it feels true
    Don't tell me, I don't care
    If you hurt, I don't tell you
    You don't care, it feels true

    I know you've been hurt by someone else
    I can tell by the way you carry yourself
    If you let me, here's what I'll do
    I'll take care of you (I'll take, I'll take)
    I've loved and I've lost Writer/s: Anthony George Palman, Aubrey Drake Graham, Brook Benton, Herbert Weiner, James Thomas Smith, John R Gluck, Noah James Shebib, Wally Gold
