I'm way too high to come down I'm burnin' up on you I'm way too lost to be found I'm burnin' up on you, on you She said, I'm not in love with him no more, the way I once was, I wonder if he feel the same It's like our light was goin' dim, and now it's unplugged, and I doubt that it will ever change I been sleepin' next to a lame who used to be my best friend, now the nigga's playin' games I still care about him, but really ain't the same That's why I might complain, 'cause lately shit been gettin' strange He used to be a man's man Pick around the house and lend a helpin' hand, and Workin' up a muscle like a fuckin' Trans-Am Addicted to the hustle, Mr. Rubber-Band Man, but where the rubber-bands went? It's like he got too comfortable Now all he do is lay and chill, quit his job, lost his ambition, that shit lame as hell I'm slavin' all day at work to come home and make him meals But he just wanna play video games like that's gon' pay some bills He was never insecure, now all the sudden I can't go out, can't do shit no more Can't hang out with my friends no more I can't do that, can't do this no more Can't even take a shit no more without him on my back, like, ugh And when I tell him how I feel, it's like I'm talkin' to a brick wall 'Cause all he do is shut down 'til that shit just get me pissed off And I start to write my thoughts down, start firin' my list off I feel like I ain't bein' heard, and it's just gon' make me withdraw Wonder how we made it this far, uh And that shit just get me mad depressed, I used to be mad obsessed It feels like you lost your soul, now all you really have is flesh And I hate when we havin' sex But you know what I really think? I stayed around for way too long, hopin' that we'd be straight But you don't respect me anymore, I'm seein' it in your face Feel like every time your life go wrong, you're lookin' for shit to blame Start pointin' fingers like it's my fault, like I'm a quick disgrace And all you do is yell and then treat me like some big mistake And then paint the picture like I'm a pessimistic bitch with rage Like I'm some evil-driven toxic bitch who just complains, you think that shit's okay, huh? So miss me with the bullshit, I ain't stressin' you It's hard to bottle all this up inside when I be next to you And if I ever voice it, you deflect it, so I never do Start to make me wonder all the shit you put your exes through You'll never take me on no dates so I can dress for you Try to look my best for you, but nothin' be impressin' you And if I ever ask you for some time, you say I'm pressin' you The day I gave up is when I started gettin' less from you, I guess it's true I'm feelin' helpless but my head is high, don't get surprised I might be crazy, but I never lied, step aside How many times we gave a second try? Say goodbye Angel wings turn to devil eyes, and I can never talk to him or specify So all I do is stress inside 'cause when I tell my side, he try to rectify I'm sick and tired of lettin' it slide, I knew I shoulda read the signs I wish that we can, argh, never mind I'm way too high to come down I'm burnin' up on you I'm way too lost to be found I'm burnin' up on you, on you He said, I'm not in love with her no more, the way I once was, I wonder if she feels the same It's like our light was goin' dim, and now it's unplugged, and I doubt that it will ever change I been sleepin' next to a stranger who used to be my best friend, now things are gettin' stranger And the truth is if she left me, then I'd probably never chase her 'Cause I doubt that I could change her back to who she was and save her And I feel like we ain't on the same page no more To keep it real, them kisses just don't hit the same no more I used to blame myself, but I can't take the blame no more It's like she ran my faith into the ground and now there ain't no more Wish I can go back to what it was and press rewind Back to the days when we would hang out and to catch a vibe Back when she used to smile and laugh at me, had better times But now she smiles and laughs at everybody's jokes except for mine's, wow I wonder what happened to us And all the intimacy's gone, and maybe we lackin' the lust Maybe the bond isn't as strong, and all the passion is crushed And havin' sex just seems wrong, and it don't happen too much, maybe I'm askin' too much The long-term goal was to build together It went from that to arguments whenever we chill together It's to the point that people question why we still together And we probably only stick it out 'cause we got a couple bills together And I hate to say it's true, but I know she probably thinks it too Afraid to move on so we tolerate the things we do It's far too gone, but we live and we never think it through Procrastinatin' too long, damn But you know what my problem is? I stayed around for way too long, ignorin' common sense She doesn't respect me anymore, but that's just how it is Feel like ever since I lost my job, it's been a competition I can't even breathe, can't even yawn without her poppin' shit And all she do is yell and then treat me like some kinda bitch And then paint the picture like I'm a chauvinistic narcissist Like I'm some ego-driven toxic dick misogynist, do you know what toxic is, huh? And I ain't got a lotta give, I'm earnin' stripes Been tellin' all her family I ain't shit, and it ain't worth the fight Listenin' to her friends, but all her friends give her the worst advice Feel like I'm in jail up in this bitch like I been servin' life Then got the nerve to act like she some angel like she's servin' Christ Funny how convenient that your cake could be the perfect slice I said I wasn't leavin', but tonight it might be worth the flight 'Cause I ain't never dealt with this before, I got a certain type, you heard it right I'm feelin' helpless, but my head is high, but I never cry I almost did but I got hella pride Step aside, how many times we gave a second try? Say goodbye And when I'm wit' her, I feel less alive And I can never talk to her or specify, so all I do is stress inside 'Cause when I tell my side she try to rectify And I'm sick and tired of lettin' it slide I knew I shoulda read the signs, I wish that I was, never mind I'm way too high to come down I'm burnin' up on you I'm way too lost to be found I'm burnin' up on you, on you
