My Love
Heartbreak Symphony: Shonda Ivy's Powerful Reflection on Love's Betrayal
Lyrics
Look how you treat me
Expressing disappointment in how the person is treating the speaker
Boy I gave you all my love you got greedy
Accusing the boy of being greedy despite giving him all her love
It wasn't easy
Highlighting the difficulty in the relationship
You were the one that made my heart skip a beat yeah
Acknowledging the impact of the boy on her emotions, making her heart skip a beat
Now I feel defeated
Feeling defeated and disheartened
Wasted all my time on you was for no reason
Regretting wasting time on the boy without a valid reason
And now that I'm leaving
Indicating the decision to leave the relationship
Got me feeling like I should of never gave you my love
Reflecting on the regret of giving love to the boy
Shouldn't of gave you my love
Reiterating the regret of giving love and emphasizing it
Shouldn't of gave you my love
-Shouldn't of gave you my love
-I should've never gave you my love
-Shouldn't of gave you my love
-Shouldn't of gave you my love
-Shouldn't of gave you my love
-Should've never gave you my love you can't have it
Asserting that the boy cannot have her love anymore
Boy you know it's cool it don't take long to break a habit
Stating that breaking a habit doesn't take long
I'm the baddest shawty you ever had
Claiming to be the best the boy has ever had
But you always try to find a way to keep me below average
Accusing the boy of trying to keep her below average
I'm done playing games
Declaring the end of playing games in the relationship
Had me doing everything
Expressing frustration at doing everything in the relationship
They say love is pain
Acknowledging the painful aspect of love
But I can't feel the same
Stating that the speaker can't feel the same way anymore
About the way my heart beats
Expressing indifference to the way her heart beats
My heart is cold as hockey
Describing her heart as cold, emphasizing emotional detachment
The way I used to fall for you
Reflecting on how the speaker used to fall for the boy
Somebody should of stopped me
Expressing a sense that someone should have intervened to prevent the speaker from falling
You can play but play without me
Encouraging the boy to play without the speaker
Don't even come around me
Warning the boy not to come around the speaker
Cause all my love is bottled up
Stating that all her love is bottled up and inaccessible
Can't even get it out me
Expressing difficulty in expressing her love
Look how you treat me
Repeating the theme of regret and the decision to leave the relationship
Boy I gave you all my love you got greedy
-It wasn't easy
-You were the one that made my heart skip a beat yeah
-Now I feel defeated
-Wasted all my time on you was for no reason
-And now that I'm leaving
-Got me feeling like I should of never gave you my love
-Shouldn't of gave you my love
-Shouldn't of gave you my love
-Shouldn't of gave you my love
-I should've never gave you my love
-Shouldn't of gave you my love
-Shouldn't of gave you my love
-Shouldn't of gave you my love
Final emphasis on the regret of giving love to the boy
