Yeah I don't know who you are anymore Talking to the man in her mirror That been fuckin' with these bitches And it's dangerous Sleepin' with these strangers Every night a different woman doing the same shit But, you don't even call anymore And you don't even care So who am I to love anyone? I know it's fucked up Different city, switching women Putting cups up, getting fucked up And, we don't even talk anymore Ain't got no time to spare So who are we to trust anyone? And that's what's fucked up We gon' end up by ourselves and not each other And that's a fuck up Damn, love don't live here Love, I don't live here She say "Why you leave your shit here?" I'm tryna' be sincere When we both know it ain't right She hate that we can get loose But I can never hang tight We don't even make love anymore Acting like our phones got our attention Or we watching television And it's painless We act like we strangers I just don't know who we are anymore I'm, I'm not supposed to be here 'Cause love don't live here But I'm here, and she here She tell me, "Stay all night" She just want a refill And then she want to start fights 'Bout, what about how she feel She tell me I'm a cheap thrill I know she don't mean that She think I feed her lies But I don't get no feedback As she watch me pack "Baby where my keys at?" Kiss her on the forehead and tell her that I'll be back Her teeth smacked I don't know who you are anymore Talking to the man in her mirror That been fuckin' with these bitches And it's dangerous Sleepin' with these strangers Every night a different woman doing the same shit But, you don't even call anymore And you don't even care So who am I to love anyone? I know it's fucked up Different city, switching women Putting cups up, getting fucked up And, we don't even talk anymore Ain't got no time to spare So who are we to trust anyone? And that's what's fucked up We gon' end up by ourselves and not each other And that's a fuck up I was talking to myself the other day My homies call me cray My momma tell me "Pray" She said I need a day I said I need a bae She said believe in faith Mom, they love me either way Hold up, wait Let me set my alarm You say don't sweat your alarm And now the pressure is on So now there's sweat in my palm But her reception ain't warm So my deception preforms And then that silence is awkward Like, am I deaf or alone? I gotta jet in the morn' And she upset and I'm calm And when a woman in scorned Is when your welcome is worn Now her temperature's showing And I just weathered her storm And she expect me to stay I be like "Let go my arm!" She said I don't know who you are anymore Talking to the man in her mirror I been fuckin' with these bitches And it's dangerous Sleepin' with these strangers Every night a different woman doing the same shit And she say, "You don't even call anymore And you don't even care So who am I to love anyone?" I know it's fucked up Different city, switching women Putting cups up, getting fucked up She say, "We don't even talk anymore" Ain't got no time to spare So who are we to trust anyone? And that's whats fucked up We gon' end up by ourselves and not each other And that's a fuck up She say, "We don't even make love anymore" Acting like our phones got our attention Or we watching television And it's painless We act like we strangers I just don't know who we are anymore Perfect strangers
