Story behind the song
Me and my fiance broke up and I needed an outlet to express my emotions. My best friend and my brother got on the track to show what they felt when I was going through the break up.
Lyrics
"You" by chester, lay, and erik
verse 1: chester
When I think back, way back into yesteryear/
my life, myself alone with not a thing to fear/
Had a bright future ahead of me before you/
had hopes and dreams that were all my own of mine alone/
My faith was strong, my connection with God good/
my focus on the right things, I knew that I should/
stay striving to be the best at what I did/
Then you came along and everything changed but so much better/
did they get, I met her and it went like this, now listen here/
Friendship grew into love, a love unmatched so I thought/
sent from above and I boasted to everyone that would listen/
I got this relationship I'll never be missing/
We're destined to be, in fact we'll get married you'll see/
We'll even have kids, she seems as excited as me/
Now I'm a new man with brand new hopes and dreams/
and all including you, our family, home and wedding rings/
I poured out my entire heart and soul into this broad/
its too bad the act she put on deserves applause I'm sore/
I can't believe I'd be married come December 2-9 0-4/
Without you I don't even know me anymore/
chorus: chester, erik
You...weren't the person that I knew before/
When you left I thought my life was over/
but it's a new beginning for me and/
I gotta bring back my (gotta bring back my)/
My life...become the man I was once more/
Focus on the bright future in store for me/
and close the book on you/
I know I gotta bring back my life (life)/
verse 2:
chester
I was like a blind man walking the streets/
not knowing where to turn and falling with every step of my feet/
I forgot about the things that were once important to me/
Forgot about the man I was before my heart was suddenly/
burned and broken, but then the old me awoken/
focus on yourself and excel in all your tasks and show 'em/
You're still the same guy with the same hopes and dreams/
and it's not you it's her that's gonna be missing anything/
erik
How can I see you the same after you left him/
so devastated that I could feel the pain (feel the pain)/
How could you take back the promise and leave him/
with a ring that belonged to his ex-fiancee (yup yup)/
Yup, that was you and you know it ain't feeling right/
it's feeling like you just a liar liar (liar liar)/
Why do I got to make this song/
Why do I got to make this song/
chorus
verse 3: lay
It happened so fast, the way it just unfolded/
A situation so sad I kept it out of the open/
Maybe things would get better, maybe not but I kept on hoping/
until the day that you told me it was over/
Now how in the hell do I console an older brother/
I'm holding the phone in disbelief, how could she do you like that?/
screw you and move on like that?/
And on the real yo, Amy you left more than Chet/
You took it too far, you went and lost all respect/
and ignorance may be bliss for those who have it/
but not for those who choose it/
Just face it, you're stupid/
And one day you'll see a man that matters and realize how you blew it/
It's faith hope and love, not beer, sex, and being dumb/
It's one thing to have a change of heart/
it's another thing to go and take one apart/
and I don't think you know the difference/
cuz even if ya feelings were legit/
the way you moved on so quick was sickening (it was sickening)/
chorus
