Bad Marks
Love's Lessons: Battling Bad Marks in Life's Test
Lyrics
Girl you've got to
Addressing the girl, emphasizing the necessity of communication.
Got to let me know
Requesting clarification or information about her intentions.
If you're coming around or only coming to go
Asking if she's genuinely interested or just temporary.
Cause' I made a game out of playing yours
Expressing playing games with her emotions in the past.
And I don't see no reason to run down the same ol' course
Not seeing a reason to repeat the same hurtful cycle.
Cause you wanted out and now you want back in
Noting her desire to come back after leaving.
Hard to breathe in the space that you put me in
Feeling suffocated or confined due to her actions.
I just don't think I can do it again
Doubting the ability to endure the pain again.
It falls down and now you're back again
Observing her return after things have fallen apart.
Now you're back again
Reiterating her return, emphasizing the repetition.
Cause life is a lesson and I'm just paying my tuition
Viewing life as a learning experience, implying the payment of dues through experiences.
If life is a test then I get bad marks
Suggesting poor performance in life's assessments or challenges.
If love is a game if you play you better count your blessings
Advising to appreciate love, indicating consequences for taking it for granted.
If love is a test then I get bad marks
Reiterating a lack of success or fulfillment in love-related trials.
You won't let me go got your foot on my neck
Feeling trapped or controlled in the relationship.
I said it's too hard to breathe I wonder will I be good
Questioning the possibility of improvement in the situation.
Cause when you make a game out of love you know everyone loses
Stating the adverse effects of turning love into a game.
We've both played the part before and karmas not choosing
Recognizing past experiences where both suffered due to their actions.
Cause life is a lesson
Reiteration of life being a learning process.
I'm just paying my tuition
Continuing to pay the price for life's lessons or experiences.
If life is a test then I get bad marks
Reiterating poor performance or results in life's evaluations.
If love is a game if you play you better count your blessings
Warning about potential consequences when playing with love.
If love is a test I get bad marks
Reaffirmation of failure or disappointment in love-related trials.
