NEVER KNEW Lyrics by Keonté

VELVET

2023

[Intro]
Still got a little more to say though
(Never thought that it would be us)
If I couldn't say it back then, (Letting something get between us )
I'll say it right now
Listen

[verse]
All this time I been working my ass off
Just so I ain't got the time to feel shit
Had my heartbroken a couple times, thats awfully sad cus all I ever asked for was real shit

But all I got instead was shit I hate i even had to deal with
Girl you made me feel sick
Still tripping off them times I ain't even talk but let you go
When I had more to say, then you dippin off little shit

And all of our problems could’ve been fixed with a conversation
You ain't еven give the boy a chancе, you kinda just
Brought it all to my attention with no intention to hash it out
You ain't wanna hear me out, say whatever then you backing out

People in my ear telling me that I should go and find myself another
Girl so I don’t feel a type of way when you get brought up
And its sad cus I never used to want somebody better
When I thought you was enough, now you gone and i regret it

The way it ended wasn’t how it started
I found who I needed when I stopped looking for who I wanted
And if you get it then you got it
I meant everything I said to you, ain't no doubt about it

[Chorus]
I said I, never thought that it would be us
Letting something get between us
Missing what it was
Could’ve been easy, girl I ain’t really need much

I just want to bring it back to how we were before
Call me up and I’ll be at your door
Love you like I did or maybe more
But would you even want it anymore?

[verse]
I wanted us to make it through all this
I called it love, til you called it off and
You kept it moving
Can’t get a W when you was the one im losing

Nothing but the truth, girl I ain't making a fool of you
98 plus 2 how I would keep it, I grew on you
But I’m human too, know I messed up and I proved to you
I don’t want to lose this, but how can I get through to you?

When it feels like anything I do won’t make it right
We ain't even talking so I’m thugging through the night
Me, myself, and I can’t l lie I fucking hate it
I’m missing how times used to be back when were dating

Time heals all, clock’s ticking
I’m still waiting on the day that I forget it
But maybe I can’t, maybe I should try harder
Though I wonder if she feel the same whenever I get brought up

Odd times but I got love for you regardless
Do I still hold a special place in there, where your heart is?
What I told you, girl I hope you ain't forgot it
You know how much I meant it, shorty ain't no doubt about it

[Chorus]
I said I, never thought that it would be us
Letting something get between us
Missing what it was
Could’ve been easy, girl I ain’t really need much

I just want to bring it back to how we were before
Call me up and I’ll be at your door
Love you like I did or maybe more
But would you even want it anymore?

[Outro]
(Nigga? Come out with ya boy!)
