Breaking Free: Navigating 99 Problems of Love's Illusions
Lyrics
I thought I needed you
I initially believed I needed you.
But I know that's not the truth
Realizing that belief was not accurate or truthful.
You just liked how I loved you
You were attracted to how I loved you, not a genuine connection.
And the man you try to be when I'm with you
You portray a different persona when I'm with you.
I thought you were the one
Initially, I thought you were the right person for me.
But you play me and I'm not dumb no
You deceived me, and I'm not naïve or foolish.
No no no no no
Emphatic denial of continuing the relationship.
This is why I do better up on my own
Choosing to do better on my own because of past experiences.
Can't nobody keep it real that's on my soul
No one can genuinely keep it real, and that's a burden on my soul.
That's why I feel less stressed when I'm alone
I feel less stressed when I'm alone due to lack of deceit.
Said I'll never have the guts to leave ya
Initially, thought I wouldn't have the courage to leave you.
Said I'll come back even for no reason
Expected to return even without a valid reason.
Don't give me a reason to stay
Asking not to provide a reason to stay.
Don't say it now before I go MIA
Don't express it now; I might go missing in action.
I don't got no problem leaving everything behind
Unproblematic with leaving everything behind.
But I got a problem wasting my time
Reluctant to waste time on unproductive matters.
99 problems but you won't be one
Having numerous problems, but you won't be one of them.
I'm so over all the shit that you've done
Expressing frustration and being over past actions.
I'll be fine
Confident in moving on and being fine.
Knew it should be over when i seen it in your eyes
Realization that it should end when observed in your eyes.
99 problems but it's better than a hundred
Having 99 problems is better than having a hundred.
Made it out the mud before so this ain't nothin
Successfully overcoming challenges in the past makes this manageable.
Not saying it's easy to let you go
Acknowledging the difficulty of letting go.
But i gotta let you know
But a necessary acknowledgment to communicate.
This is what it feels like to give everything you got
The emotional experience of giving everything to someone.
Into another person who's looking to fill your spot
Investing in someone who seeks to replace you.
Yeah we got the years and the history
Despite the shared history, negative thoughts replay in the mind.
But my head replaying all the shit you said to me
Recalling hurtful things said by the other person.
Even though I gave you everything that I had
Despite giving everything, it made no real difference.
It never made a difference except for my bag
Except for impacting material possessions.
Wish I could take it back
Wishing to undo the past and take back actions.
I gotta put that shit into myself
Recognizing the need to focus on self-improvement.
Double up and flip it right back
Determined to bounce back and recover.
99 problems but you won't be one
Having problems, but the person won't be one of them.
I'm so over all the shit that you've done
Expressing being fed up with the other person's actions.
I'll be fine
Confident in moving on and being fine.
Knew it should be over when i seen it in your eyes
Realization that it should end when observed in your eyes.
99 problems but it's better than a hundred
Having 99 problems is better than having a hundred.
Made it out the mud before so this ain't nothin
Successfully overcoming challenges in the past makes this manageable.
Not saying it's easy to let you go
Acknowledging the difficulty of letting go.
But i gotta let you know
But a necessary acknowledgment to communicate.
