| It was so beautiful
|
| Remember how in love we were?
|
| So in love.
|
| So in love.
|
| Once.
|
| So in love.
|
| Once.
|
| She was a young girl
|
| I was a young man
|
| And I knew they would get her when I let go her hand
|
| And then I let go The inevitable
|
| So beautiful
|
| And susceptible
|
| So wonderful
|
| And so innocent
|
| And after this neither one of us would benefit
|
| Yeah, I was a dropout
|
| She was a graduate
|
| She said I’ll never be nothing she wasn’t having it Yeah, I tried to break her down
|
| I tried to reason it She said I wasn’t nobody to be believing in Yeah, what a waste of time
|
| What a waste of mind
|
| Your place of mind was a part of the design
|
| Yeah, I used to call her up She never called back
|
| When she called that said I wasn’t all that
|
| Yeah, I know that times change
|
| And people change, too
|
| I was a fool just to think that I could change you
|
| Everyone’s got stories gone
|
| About a love we once knew
|
| So high in the beginning
|
| Until the world cuts through
|
| And then everything changes
|
| Nothing feels the same
|
| Piece by piece it falls apart until
|
| All that’s left is blame
|
| And if I had a chance to do it all over I’d do it exactly the same
|
| I was a b-boy
|
| She was a good girl
|
| Turned hot girl
|
| Had to be a hood girl
|
| Never did she notice she would end up in a shook world
|
| I was like look girl it’s all in the book
|
| Yeah, I used to tell her jokes
|
| I used to make her laugh
|
| And if I had a whole dollar I would give her half
|
| So delicate
|
| And so intelligent
|
| And then she trying to play me out just for the hell of it Back when she was 19 not even 21
|
| Used to do a thing getting somebody anyone
|
| Thought that she was naive
|
| Or was it really me I do believe
|
| She was the one that was fulfulling me So we broke up at a barbecue
|
| Drove home thinking never will I bother you
|
| Yeah, I just didn’t know
|
| What it was hidden for
|
| She had me sitting low
|
| But she was bullshitting, though
|
| Everyone’s got stories gone
|
| About a love we once knew
|
| So high in the beginning
|
| Until the world cuts through
|
| And then everything changes
|
| Nothing feels the same
|
| Piece by piece it falls apart until
|
| All that’s left is blame
|
| So I just kept rhyming
|
| I caught her eye again
|
| Next thing you know she was hollering let’s try again
|
| But I wasn’t buying in Didn’t want to lie again
|
| Love was in the frying pan
|
| Baby, it’s done
|
| But she started hanging out
|
| And started being seen
|
| Seeing things different
|
| Said she wasn’t being mean
|
| Yeah, if I let her in Then I let her win
|
| But I’m a veteran what’s better than a friend
|
| Maybe she was an angel
|
| But she’s in disguise
|
| And I just didn’t see the God-light in her eyes
|
| Or maybe I should I walk away
|
| And cut all the ties
|
| Stay on the rise
|
| Leave love left where love dies
|
| We were youngsters
|
| But we’re older now
|
| But the world is a little more colder now
|
| And I’m just trying to get it all off my shoulder now
|
| Baby, you can hold it down
|
| I’ll see you in the wind
|
| Everyone’s got stories gone
|
| About a love we once knew
|
| So high in the beginning
|
| Until the world cuts through
|
| And then everything changes
|
| Nothing feels the same
|
| Piece by piece it falls apart until
|
| All that’s left is blame
|
| That’s right, baby
|
| Next life time
|
| Yeah, ain’t that what they say?
|
| Check it out
|
| Love don’t hate
|
| I got love for you
|
| Always |
