[Intro]
Ugh…
Expectations…
Are Premeditated Resentment…
Yo…
[Verse 1]
I’m just a shell of myself…my armor’s been cracked
My mind’s still intact but my heart’s split in half
By a part of my past that still lingers around
And when they tell me that they love me, I can’t picture the sounds
They’re just words to a broken soul…
And when I hear ‘em, they appearin’, in and out of my ears, it’s like they open doors
That won’t close no more…witta hole that grows inside
That no one knows about but it’s slowly show-
Ing up my demeanor, the pain I tried to mask
But how I treat her, you can see that I’ma leave her before she grabs her bags
Like the best of them…emotional negligence
It’s evident the present tense, my precedence is presidents
Or Benjamins…Franklins and Grants fosho though!
Gimme mo’ dough…I’m through with girls, no homo
Just me, myself and I plus the team that’s down to ride
Chase our dreams, no time to cry and you can see it in my eyes
[Hook]
So Thank You…For Showing Me…
That I had it wrong all along
Now, I am… Gonna Be…
Right where I belong moving on
Like…I’m better off without you
So y’know I’m doing good like I should
And I…Never thought what I’d do
Is forgive you but it’s cool ‘cause I’m the fool
[Verse 2]
Fool me once, fool me twice, you did me wrong but I ain’t right
‘Cause the second time around, I thought you down, now I’m the clown
With the painted smile…beggin’ stay awhile
And lookin’ back, I wanna smack and knock some fucking sense into that
Tainted child…But at least I finally figured out
That love is not love if you have to look around
See, I needed you, an addict, gotta have it, I was sick
Like without you, I can’t live but it’s a trick
Addicted, that was it; I admit…I was dying from the loneliness
A broken spirit…that needs a fix, anotha kiss from your lips
And I’ma quit; I’m in denial, y’know I’m lying
One more smile and I’ll be flying for moment…
And then I’m back to no emotions
…reality check to the dome, still lonely…Now it’s been 3 years
Without an episode ‘Cause I learned to love myself
And let it go….And there ya’ go…so much better…so…
[Hook]
So Thank You…For Showing Me…
That I had it wrong all along
Now, I am… Gonna Be…
Right where I belong moving on
Like…I’m better off without you
But I hope you doing good ‘cause you should
And I…Never thought what I’d do
Is forgive you but it’s cool when I’m the fool
[Verse 3]
Used to say that all I wanted was for you to be happy
And you are…but what got me mad, see it wasn’t I
Who inspired the kinda smile that Leonardo himself
Woulda told Mona Lisa to hit the road
And the fire in your eyes wasn’t lighted by mine
Like it once was just ‘cause I ended up right inside your mind
…Random thoughts…the chance and odds
Used to tip in my favor but lady luck left me like abandoned dogs
Only wanted hugs but now I’m starving for a bone
Tryna’ find my way home, on my own…
Hard to trust anotha, but that’s the secret I discovered
Digging through sloppy seconds when I stopped and questioned
The ugly mess inside my heart
Where jealousy and greed kept my essence in the dark
And now it’s clearer, looking in the mirror what’s truly love
There’s always a way out the bottom and it starts by lookin’ up
[Hook]
So Thank You…For Showing Me…
That I had it wrong all along
Now, I am… Gonna Be…
Right where I belong moving on
Like…I’m better off without you
And I know you doing good like I should
And I…Never thought what I’d do
Is forgive you but it’s cool, I not the fool
