Lyrics

You said you would always love me

You promised everlasting love.

Never leave me lonely

Assurance of never being left alone.

You would never play me, tease me

Commitment to not deceive or taunt.

You said you would stand before me

Pledge to stand by and support.

But you went and left me

Contradiction—left alone despite promises.

Yeah you went and left me, lonely

Emphasis on the resulting loneliness.

You said a lot of shit

Acknowledgment of spoken commitments.


I believed every word you said

Expressing belief in spoken words.


You said

Reiteration of previous statements.

I said

Response to prior statement.

We said now whats done is left yeah

Acknowledgment of irreversible actions.


You said you would always love me

Repetition of the commitment to love.

Never leave me leave me lonely

Repetition of the fear of loneliness.

But you went and left me lonely

Contradiction—left lonely despite promises.


You said

Reiteration of a previous commitment.

And I believed you

Affirmation of belief in the stated commitment.


I believed every word you said

Repeating trust in spoken words.


Ain't gon lie me adore your body

Expressing admiration for the person's body.

Say your feelings my girl me no worry

Stating that personal feelings are not a concern.


You say you need attention you move so slow

Commenting on the pace of actions.

When you catch up gotta let me know

Request for clear communication when catching up.


O I hear you calling

Responding to a call for attention.

Did you wrong

Admitting to wrongdoing.

Pree your timeline

Observing the person's timeline.


O I hear you calling

Responding again to a call for attention.

And I did you wrong

Admitting to wrongdoing again.

Pree your timeline

Observing the person's timeline once more.
