Lately, I've been wondering what the fuck I be doing
Got me runnin' around in circles, shit is fucking confusing
I can tell that you ain't happy, you don't wanna go through this
I know you think I don't love you, I've been wanting to prove it
But, uh, lately my mind been on other things
And I want you but I want a few other things
Tell the truth there's some girls that I wanna bang
I ain't say I'm going to, but I don't wanna change
And I know I'm not giving the attention you deserve
And I understand if you gotta kick me to the curb
But I know you don't wanna you just wish that this would work
We been going through it, but I guess you live it and you learn, huh
Man, this shit is so berserk
Things been bad but they gettin' kinda worse
We could end things now, before you leave town
But, if I hear something it's gon' hit me where it hurts 'cause
You say (yeah), you say, yeah (yeah)
You say that we should take a break
We should take a break, yeah (yeah)
I just hope it helps 'cause
I can't (I can't, nah), I can't (I can't, nah)
I can't do it, girl (I can't do it, girl)
I don't wanna think (I don't wanna)
I don't wanna see (yeah), you with no one else, no, no
(Yeah, yeah)
Yeah (yeah)
Here I go thinking with my dick again
Here you go making me believe you wanna get with him
But you ain't fucking with them fellas
But you love to make me jealous, I been seeming so indifferent
Guessing you ain't getting all the loving that you wish you did
Clearly we got issues you ain't bring to my attention
Yeah, until you got fucked up (yeah)
But I'm the one that's fucked up (yeah)
So, don't think that I've been innocent
I know you saw this coming
I know being happy's really all you wanted
(But you know I, I wish I didn't, you know)
(Fuck that shit up for you every time, but, uh)
I wish we could rewind things back
Fell in love with a guy named Jack
I know lately I've been trying to have it my way but
Maybe I just really want what I can't have
You say (yeah), you say, yeah (yeah)
You say that we should take a break
We should take a break, yeah
I just hope it helps 'cause
I can't (I can't, nah), I can't (I can't, nah)
I can't do it, girl (I can't do it, girl)
I don't wanna think (I don't wanna)
I don't wanna see (yeah), you with no one else, no, no
