Tell me lies, tell me lies

Don't know how many times I looked in your eyes

And you still told me lies, you still told me lies

Don't know how many times I looked in your eyes

And you still told me lies, you still told me lies

Don't know how many times I looked in your eyes

And you still told me lies, you still told me lies

I cannot begin to understand it

Bussin' shots, like a loaded gun, yeah

Now it's out of sight, out of mind

Gave you a million tries to get it right, yeah

Out of sight, out of mind

Now I can't even see em' fallin' down my eyes

But you told me lies, yeah

Tell me lies, tell me lies

I looked at my phone, you sent me a text

This shit is insane

Now look at my wrist, yeah

I bet they wish that they never ever tried to hoe me

Used to be the one I'd hug and kiss

Used to be the one I'd come and run to

Reflecting on the past, emphasizing the depth and significance of the relationship, and the subsequent negative impact on emotions.

Sometimes I sit and reminisce about a better time

When the world revolved around our love

Knew I took it serious, I didn't play about our love

Nigga went to war, I didn't hesitate about our love, no

Ain't no debate about our love

Made a baby out our love

Made em' feel some type of way about our love

I cannot begin to understand it
