How It Is Lyrics by Sakkiyah

Something’s Missing

2021

{Verse 1}

Why they never talk about no sacrifices?
All the time I wasted on a fantasy
You be playing games, like I don't see the truth
Why it be so hard understanding me?
I thought you was different
I thought you would listen
You had peaked my interest and now I wanna be
Left alone

[Pre-Chorus]
They told me, I heard that, I just never paid no mind
You want this and you want that, you can't even say you mine

[Chorus]
'Cause, I thought, I thought, I thought
And you know, you know, you know
And maybe that's just how it is, but this ain't really what it’s supposed to be

[Verse 2]

How y'all think that y'all don't owe me nothing?
And I'd be crazy if I told thеm, you was only bluffing
You had a image, I was beneficial
Whatеver happened I was sticking with you
So call me crazy if I'm seeming too invested in it
I put my soul into this bond, it wasn't bonded if you played like that
You needed something, probably leverage, just to play like that (Have your way like that)
'Cause

[Pre-Chorus]
They told me, I heard that, I just never paid no mind
You want this and you want that, you can't even say you mine

[Chorus]
'Cause, I thought, I thought, I thought
And you know, you know, you know
And maybe that's just how it is, but this ain't really what it’s supposed to be

{Verse 1}

Why they never talk about no sacrifices?
All the time I wasted on a fantasy
You be playing games, like I don't see the truth
Why it be so hard understanding me?
I thought you was different
I thought you would listen
You had peaked my interest and now I wanna be
Left alone

[Pre-Chorus]
They told me, I heard that, I just never paid no mind
You want this and you want that, you can't even say you mine

[Chorus]
'Cause, I thought, I thought, I thought
And you know, you know, you know
And maybe that's just how it is, but this ain't really what it’s supposed to be
'Cause, I thought, I thought, I thought
And you know, you know, you know
And maybe that's just how it is, but this ain't really what it’s supposed to be
'Cause, I thought, I thought, I thought
And you know, you know, you know
And maybe that's just how it is, but this ain't really what it’s supposed to be

[Outro]

How y'all think that y'all don't owe me nothing?
Owe me something (Y'all owe me something)
You was only bluffing
I felt that into intuition
I should have listened
Nah for real, why y'all think that?
