Quotable Lyrics:
She said
I’m not in love with him no more the way I once was
I wonder if he feel the same
It’s like our light was going dim and now it’s unplugged
And I doubt that it will ever change
I been sleeping next to a lame who used to be my best friend, now the ni**a’s playing games
I still care about him but really ain’t the same
That’s why I might complain, ’cause lately sh*t been getting strange
He used to be a man’s man
Pick around the house and lend a helping hand, and
Working up a muscle like a f**kin’ Trans-Am
Addicted to the hustle, Mr. Rubber-Band Man
Where the rubber-bands went?
It’s like he got too comfortable
Now all he do is lay and chill
Quit his job, lost his ambition, that sh*t lame as hell
I’m slaving all day at work to come home and make him meals
But he just wanna play video games like that’s gon’ pay some bills
He was never insecure
Now all of a sudden I can’t go out, can’t do sh*t no more
Can’t hang out with my friends no more
I can’t do that, can’t do this no more
Can’t even take a sh*t no more without him on my back, like “Ugh”
And when I tell him how I feel it’s like I’m talking to a brick wall
‘Cause all he do is shut down and that shit just get me pissed off
And I’m starting to write my thoughts down, start firing my list off
I feel like I ain’t being heard and it’s just gon’ make me withdraw
Wonder how we made it this far
And that sh*t just get me mad depressed
I used to be mad obsessed
It feels like you lost your soul, now all you really have is flesh
And I hate when we having sex
But you know what I really think
I stayed around for way too long hoping that we’d be straight
But you don’t respect me anymore, I’m seeing it in your face
Feel like every time your life go wrong you looking for sh*t to blame
Start pointing fingers like it’s my fault, like I’m a quick disgrace
And all you do is yell and then treat me like some big mistake
And then paint the picture like I’m a pessimistic b*tch with rage
Like I’m some evil-driven toxic b*tch who just complains
You think that sh*t’s okay, huh?
So miss me with the bullsh*t, I ain’t stressing you
It’s hard to bottle all this up inside when I be next to you
And if I ever voice it, you deflect it so I never do
Start to make me wonder all the sh*t you put your exes through
You will never take me on no dates so I can dress for you
Try to look my best for you but nothing be impressing you
And if I ever ask you for some time you say I’m pressing you
The day I gave up is when I started getting less from you, I guess it’s true
I’m feeling helpless but my head is high
Don’t get surprised
I might be crazy but I never lied
Step aside, how many times we gave a second try
Say goodbye
Angel wings turn to devil eyes
And I can never talk to him or specify
So all I do is stress inside
‘Cause when I tell my side, he try to rectify
I’m sick and tired of letting it slide
I knew I should’ve read the signs
I wish that we can, never mind
