Like It Was Before

Staying up to get paid
About three A.M

Couldn't sleep when it got late
Day's starting again

Started to walk by your place
Forgot how long it's been

Tryna find a new way
Without you depends

Can't go find a middle in love and lust
Can't find a little
Not just a bit of what you call trust

Thought I know

Sittin on the stoop that day
I noticed
That nothin'd ever be the same

Like it was before
I told you

We could be much more
Than you knew

Tried to call your phone
No answer

We could bitch and moan
Together

Pot of gold and champagne
That was your weekend

Headaches and chump change
That was my weekend

So what you're the boss now
Like you weren't back then

And I'm tryna piece together how
I ever let you in

But now what's there to do now I think I can't forget ya
When I run it again it's like you were never there

Here I am scraping pennies and you got so many
I took all the blame you strung me along it wasn't my fault

Now you're happy but you never cared for it
Aint that a bitch
That's all I wanted while you get rich

Is happiness

Sittin on the stoop that day
I didn't noticed
That you could be so mean

Like it was before
I don't know

Couldn't give us more
So you go

If you walk away
Forget love

When you talk that way
It's over

Can't go find a middle in love and lust
Can't find a little
Not just a bit of what you call trust

Thought I know

Sittin on the stoop that day
I noticed
That nothin'd ever be the same

Like it was before
I said I loved you

What did I do that for?
Got me fucked up

Or was it you that swore
To catch me falling

I don't want your cries
Of redundance

Like it was before
I told you

Couldn't give us more
So you go

Like it was before
I don't know

Wouldn't give us more
So we're through

I had a dream
And you was there
You were by my bed
Telling stories like you always did

Then I woke up
And turning over
But you were gone
You know I smiled cus the dream was done

Now by and by
I'll walk a mile
I'll show my smile
To another mother worth my while

And I'll adore
Won't be ignored
And you'll be poor
You'll always be just like it was before
