Lyrics
Chorus
I tried to mend what you condemned, I left
I tried to mend what you condemned, I left
I tried to mend what you condemned,
A love affair, you destroyed it beyond repair
Verse 1
Wanted me a love, I never had one
When I got it, the experience was a bad one
A playa smooth, but she came wit traction
Hold up, let me rewind, I'll go back some
Young and dumb, still maturin up, I was still a fool
Shawty hot, but I'm really chill, I'm gon keep my cool
Or so I thought, confused bout what to do, these feelings somethin' new
Was small, but like Jack's beanstalk, these feelings quickly grew
Into something bigger, and I, couldn't rid of it
At first she wasn't diggin' me, said she wasn't feelin' it
Searched for the key, to her heart, got lost like Giligan
Wanted that fish in the sea, eventually, I reeled her in
Took my bait, kept pitchin it, like it was a tent
Things were goin straight, all good, but it soon got bent
Was goin right, but like daylight to nite, the right faded and left
Like a game of chess, thinkin' hard of how I'm movin next
Chorus
Verse 2
Another mistake, another lesson learned
Shawty hot like flames, don't mess with fire, cuz you will get burned
Like I said, things were going straight, but started to swerve
Romance, ran out of gas, then it stopped, sittin on the curb
She got some nerve, got me feelin' green, like I was some herb
Stay squawkin, stay askin fo' some bread, you'd think she was a bird
Plus I heard, she buried deep in dirt, like she was a worm
Tryna hide some things inside, concealin it, like a purse
But those just words, what he or she say, so I ain't concerned
Till for sure I learned, she, has been deceivin' me
I'd give her the world, and she treatin' me indecently
Seein someone else on the low, she been on the creep
So I try to let all these feelings go, but it seems I can't
Throwin them as far as I can throw, comes back like a boomerang
Wanna be let loose from this pain, set free from these chains
Now I'm sittin here confused, I just don't understand
Chorus
Verse 3
The prettiest people, can do the ugliest things
If you could peer through to the truth, you'd see they're not what they seem
Beautiful on the surface, underneath, they really ain't perfect
Flaws we can't see with our eyes, like they hidin' behind curtains
Beauty is deeper than skin, you gotta dig deep and unearth it
What can you buy with a dime, realized she really ain't worth it
I'm done wasting my time, with all this fussin and hurtin'
Realized, that there ain't no point, now see that there is no purpose
In feelin all of this pain, going through all of this trouble
Heart has fallen apart, gon start to reconstruct the rubble
Over time, it'll change, although the change will be subtle
The pain will soon fade, like it's drainin out of a funnel
I tried to play in the game, I dropped the ball and I fumbled
Can't let this play make me break, can't let this play make me crumble
The game's got me worn, loss has given my heart a lil tear
The heart is torn, but it's never torn beyond repair
Chorus
