Jake

I could tell you where you slipped up
But I still can't tell you why I stuck around
For the longest our relationship was in the air
So it's funny how we never got up off the ground
Communication's like we talking to a wall
So why I never went ghost, having been through it all
Maybe a break or some time off
Minding my own just so I can keep my mind off
What you've done or what you doing
When we don't talk, I know you stalkin
Girl who is you foolin
Then after we fight, we boohooing
And just like that, feelings renewing
And just like that, words I'm chewing
What I told my friends I'm done doing
What I told myself, now I ignore
She don't really miss you, she just bored

Cause every time we break up
I fall back a little harder
But every time we make up
I wish I was a little smarter
Why couldn't you have been the one
Why couldn't you have been the one
Why couldn't you have been the one
I promise that we're done
Just know I'm as best as they come

I always wish things were better
More than just accepting that they ain't
I always give myself a whole lecture
Then return for more reasons to complain
Rock bottom after falling off the wagon
Completely understood the consequences to my actions
Embraced max pain for minimal pleasure though
God damn, why can't I just let you go
My friends think that I'm a masochist
I get hurt, heal a little, then run back to it
Maybe 3 billion women in the world
Yet I'm constantly stressed by one who's not even my girl
And if we never been then what is there to restore
I ask myself, while I'm coming back for more
What I told myself, now I ignore
She don't really miss you she just bored

Cause every time we break up
I fall back a little harder
But every time we make up
I wish I was a little smarter
Why couldn't you have been the one
Why couldn't you have been the one
Why couldn't you have been the one
I promise that we're done
Just know I'm as best as they come

I know you lying to them other niggas
But girl this is me though
So I ain't buying you ain't fuckin' wit em
You say that just so you can spare my ego
Anytime you wrong, ya memory get hazy
But pretty selective when time to make me look crazy
Our past ain't why our future's in ruins
The reason that we clash is over shit you still doing
Not looking for tension but you just love the attention
Could hold a convention with all the niggas in ya mentions
Can't even the playing field by bringin' up my old hoes
Ain't kick it in years, so why you tryna' move the goalposts
Said I'm hangin' onto shit ain't even there anymore
So please lemme let go, stop fuckin' breaking my fall
Don't fuckin' text or call, promise I'm straight
I'll be alright tonight, like Usher say

Cause every time we break up
I fall back a little harder
But every time we make up
I wish I was a little smarter
Why couldn't you have been the one
Why couldn't you have been the one
Why couldn't you have been the one
I promise that we're done
Just know I'm as best as they come
