(Love me or leave me) No cap (Let me go my own way) She love me or leave me I gave her a reason, she don't want a reason She don't wanna see me, she don't wan' believe me I tell her it's cold and I'm already freezin' My heart ain't even beatin' Just talked to the reaper, he put me on speaker He told me to keep ya I know I ain't perfect I shouldn't need to work on it, a n- been workin' I know you uncertain You ride for me and I drive you crazy and I know I've been swervin' I know you've been nervous, I know I've been reckless And now you all heartless, and now it's all worthless I don't deserve ya, you don't deserve this I turned a blessing into a burden I'm really sorry, I know it don't fix it A n- been wishin' that I could reverse it I know it don't help it, I know I look selfish And looks are deceiving, but you lookin' further And you lookin' past me, I'm just a has-been How did this happen? What is the current? Where's your endurance? You actin' like you've never been in love, like you just a tourist Shit was the purest 'til you got curious You know that love don't come with insurance I blame the jurists who put me on trial They was sick of your smile, now we just cured 'em That got me furious, people that knew of us Tell me they sorry, I said that make two of us Wonder what ruined 'em Wonder how beautiful you look at your wedding When I'm at my funeral, goddamn (Love me or leave me) Love me or leave me (Let me go my own way) She love me or leave me I gave her a reason, she don't want a reason She don't wanna see me, she don't wan' believe me I tell her it's cold and I'm already freezin' My heart ain't even beatin' Just talked to the reaper, he put me on speaker He told me to keep ya So I tried to call, but I couldn't reach you You blocked my number I feel like James Harden, you blocked my jumper, goddamn Who you lovin', who you wanna be f-? Since it ain't me Just tell lil' homie he lucky, I'm lonely for nothing I'm starin' at the phone and the button to call 'em to come in I'm starin' at the walls, I been punchin' these walls, did me nothin' I'm thinkin' 'bout the ball I've been fumblin' When stars were abundant then sh- happened And all of the sudden the toilet start flushing Try to avoid the confrontin', the joy, the consumption With outside noise and seduction, it's harder to function Look up at the angels, they hoverin', they show me the light They told me that I know that I'm wrong But I don't know what's right, goddamn (Love me) You must hate me (or leave me) Love me or leave me (Let me go my own way) She love me or leave me I gave her a reason, she don't want a reason She don't wanna see me, she don't wan' believe me I tell her it's cold and I'm already freezin' My heart ain't even beatin' Just talked to the reaper, he put me on speaker He told me to keep ya So I tried to call, but I couldn't reach you You blocked my number I feel like James Harden, you blocked my jumper, goddamn Funeral
