  • (Ayy)

    If I come around you, can I be myself?
    Wind up in the mirror just to see yourself
    If I was in your shoes, I would hate myself
    Left all this behind to be with someone else, oh
    Why should I fake it anymore?
    If I firm the ting and work that, can you take it anymore?
    This time I have left cannot be wasted anymore
    You realize it now and you miss it

    Texts go green, it hits a little different, don't it?
    Know you miss the days when I was grippin' on it
    Know you're in the house tonight just thinkin' on it
    I moved on so long ago

    I moved on so long ago
    You're still thinkin' 'bout me, though, oh
    I'm still tryna make sense of it all
    You're still sayin' things to keep me involved
    Supposed to let me know how you feel, now what to do?
    It shouldn't take a text from me to speak your truth

    Rough
    You're dealing with me rough
    I know you like it rough
    But this might be too much
    You're dealing with me rough
    I know you like it rough
    But this might be too much
    But this might be too much for me

    Dodging girls on the scene and girls from my dreams
    Well, don't wanna make something from nothing, that's where I be
    Well, keep getting nothing for something, how's that fair to me?
    I'm thinking something for something, that's what I need
    I'm too behind in a race to rush for my lead
    I'm not rushing you, trust me, I'm
    I'm the last person that needs to rush anything, wait
    I feel like everything these days leads to nothing, wait
    I feel like everything these days leads to nothing
    It's clear that we all get lonely, then you call me
    All I needed from you was to
    Hold me down when things aren't working
    For some reason, I believed in you, oh

    Texts go green, it hits a little different, don't it?
    Know you miss the days when I was grippin' on it
    Know you're in the house tonight just thinkin' on it
    I moved on so long ago

    So long ago
    I can't even remember when we lost each other
    Was it last year, this year, or some other?
    Been so long since you said things that cover up the lies
    We can do it this time
    Just have some faith, we can do it this time
    Your favorite thing to say, "We can do it this time"
    Just have some faith, we can do it this time

    Been dealing with me rough
    You're dealing with me rough
    You're dealing with me rough
    You're dealing with me rough
    You're dealing with me rough
    You're dealing with me rough
    You're dealing with me rough
    You're dealing with me rough
    You're dealing with me
