They say when you love it you must let it go away
Away
When it comes back then you will know
You were meant to stay here
You were meant to stay here
Can I dedicate these lines
Art is how we decorate space
But music is how we decorate time
Every minute passing by
Ima live my life according to a compass
While you're staring at a clock until you die
Truthfully, I wanna go back how it used to be
Before the competition like what did you do for me?
Cuz love is not a barter gotta play the game smarter
I only stuck around tryna be a better father
But how we gonna prosper when you calling me a monster
Telling him chose sides like it was a toss up
Break me on court like mami had a cross up
Lawyers being brought up ain't the only thing to cost us
Sad it had to come to this we was having fun with it
Then we was done with it now this is how we run with it
If you ever care for me then pick your battles carefully
Why you digging up dirt just to go and bury me
They say when you love it you must let it go away
Away
When it comes back then you will know
You were meant to stay here
You were meant to stay here
We've been together too long
They think we're all the same
Tryna make a right from two wrongs
We keep playing this game
Did I do it on purpose
Maybe it's all been worthless
Too many clowns in this circus
Just tryna keep it closed circuit
We can have it all right now
If we just take our time
Feeling like we missed out
But I, no I, I'm here
Tell me if it all ends well
I'm hoping we can find our own way
I know that only time gon tell
Or maybe we can change the game
They say when you love it you must let it go away
Away
When it comes back then you will know
You were meant to stay here
You were meant to stay here
Why we gotta argue every conversation
So walking out on you is what I'm contemplating
Cuz you know I was never good at confrontation
So I'm writing you this song as the confirmation
Always waiting for a different statement tell me who be changing
Locked in these chains tryna break out of these cages
Looking at our issues tell me how we gonna face it
Looking back at it girl we had something amazing
Stuck in a maze trap tell me how to get out
Feelings trapped too nah they ain't never let out
Always play the blame game every day the same thang
Fighting and fussing over why you ain't have the same name
It's a damn shame it couldn't last forever
Now that we're mature you gotta know it's for the better
So long to so gones
Coming from the woman that I thought could do no wrong
There's nothing left to hold on but hold on...
