Lyrics
I wanna start this out and say
I want to begin by saying this
I gotta get it off my chest
I need to express this
Got no anger, got no malice
I don't hold any anger or ill will
Just a little bit of regret
Just a small feeling of regret
Know nobody else will tell you
I know nobody else will tell you
So there's some things I gotta say
So, there are things I need to communicate
Gonna jot it down and then get it out
I'll write it down and then express it
And then I'll be on my way
Then I'll move on
No, you're not half the man you think that you are
You're not as great a person as you believe
And you can't fill the hole inside of you with money, drugs and cars
You can't fill your inner emptiness with material possessions like money, drugs, and cars
I'm so glad I never ever had a baby with you
I'm relieved I never had a child with you
'Cause you can't love nothin' unless there's somethin' in it for you
Because you're incapable of loving unless there's something in it for you
Oh, I feel so sorry
Expressing sympathy
I feel so sad
Feeling very sad
I tried to help you
I attempted to assist you
It just made you mad
But it only provoked your anger
And I had no warnin'
I had no prior indication
About who you are
About your true nature
I'm just glad I made it out without breakin' down
I'm relieved I managed to escape without breaking down emotionally
And then ran so fuckin' far
And I ran away very far from you
That you would never ever touch me again
To ensure you never lay a hand on me again
Won't see your alligator tears
I won't be moved by your insincere tears
'Cause, no, I've had enough of them
Because I've had enough of them
Let me start this off by sayin'
Let me begin by saying
I really meant well from the start
I genuinely intended well right from the beginning
Take a broken man right in my hands
Took on a broken person and tried to mend them
And then put back all his parts
But you're not the person you believe yourself to be
But you're not half the man you think that you are
And material possessions won't fill your inner void
And you can't fill the hole inside of you with money, girls and cars
I'm relieved I never had a child with you
I'm so glad I never ever had a baby with you
Because you're incapable of genuine love
'Cause you can't love nothin' unless there's somethin' in it for you
Expressing sympathy
Oh, I feel so sorry (I feel so sorry)
Feeling very sad
I feel so sad (I feel so sad)
I attempted to assist you
I tried to help you (I tried to help you)
But it only provoked your anger
It just made you mad
I had no prior indication
And I had no warnin' (I had no warnin')
About your true nature
About who you are ('bout who you)
Relieved I managed to escape without breaking down emotionally
Just glad I made it out without breakin' down
Expressing sympathy
Oh, I feel so sorry (I feel so sorry)
Feeling very sad
I feel so sad (I feel so sad)
I attempted to assist you
I tried to help you (I tried to help you)
But it only provoked your anger
It just made you mad
I had no prior indication
And I had no warnin' (I had no)
About your true nature
About who you are ('bout who you)
-'Bout who you are
-Hey
Repetition emphasizing the points made earlier in the song
Hey
-Hey
-Hey
-'Cause you're not half the man you think that you are
-And you can't fill the hole inside of you with money, drugs and cars
-I'm so glad I never ever had a baby with you
-'Cause you can't love nothin' unless there's somethin' in it for you
-I feel so sad
-You should be sad
-You should be
-You should be sad
-You should be
-You should be
-You should be
Reiteration of the sentiment that the subject should feel sad
