There are times I think about that fateful day
I threw your love away
Every time I see that look upon your face
The same one that you made
When your fragile world was crashing down around you
You realized your place
And the darkness that you try so hard to subdue
It causes you to change
But baby, baby, please don’t leave me (Please don’t leave me)
I know I made a big mistake, don’t turn my sunshine to shade
Baby, please don’t leave me (Please don’t leave me)
I know this is a game we play
You’re always taking my breath away
Should’ve left you a long time ago
All my niggas done told me so
But my niggas don’t hold me tight
When I’m sleeping in my bed at night, only you
Should’ve left a long time ago
All my niggas done told me so
But my niggas don’t hold me tight
When I’m sleeping in my bed at night, only you
Babe, I know I fucked up
Fucked with some empty cups
But you got your friends too
But you got your friends too
Better believe it, in
Truth I’m up on my luck, can’t stop running amok
But you got your friends too
But you got your friends too
Better believe it, I
