Lyrics

Out of all the mistakes you made, I still stayed

Despite all the mistakes made, I remained committed.

Even though it's the bed that you made, I still laid

Even though the situation was difficult (bed you made), I still stayed.

Never wanted anything for being loyal to ya

Did not expect any reward for loyalty.

I sworn it and guaranteed, you was gonna love me

Believed and guaranteed that you would love me.

I see I was wrong

Realized I was wrong about your love.


In the beginning it was hard to realize that we were ending

Initially hard to accept the relationship ending.

I was in denial all along, now it's time for me, to move on

Was in denial, now accepting the need to move on.

I reached my limit, felt like I was the only one giving

Reached the limit, felt like the only one giving.

Finally hit me that we're done, guess I found out the hard way

Realized it's over, discovered the hard truth.

That I'm strong, oh

Acknowledging personal strength.


It's okay for me to be hurt but not for longer

It's okay to be hurt, but not for an extended period.

Sometimes I might forget my worth but not for long, yeah

Occasionally forget my worth, but not for long.

I will remind myself that you gon' be mad when I bounce back, yeah

Remind myself that you'll regret when I bounce back.

I know sometimes I put you first but not for long, yeah

Sometimes put you first, but not for long.


I done made a 360 turn, I don't get the same chills when you call no more

Underwent a significant change, no longer affected by your calls.

No in and out of my life, like revolving doors, I'm no longer yours, no

No more in-and-out of life, not yours anymore.

Just a bad habit I had to break, I learned from my love your my last mistake, oh

Breaking a bad habit, learned from past mistakes.

I think it's safe to say that we have run our course

Concluding that the relationship has run its course.


In the beginning it was hard to realize that we were ending

Initially hard to accept the relationship ending (repeated).

I was in denial all along, now it's time for me, to move on

Was in denial, now accepting the need to move on (repeated).

I know sometimes I put you first but not for long, yeah

Sometimes put you first, but not for long (repeated).


At the end of the day I found out I'ma be okay

Realized I'll be okay at the end of the day.

I realize I'm alright living life doing things my way

Recognized that I'm alright living life my way.

At the end of the day I found out I'ma be okay

Realized I'll be okay at the end of the day (repeated).

I realize I'm alright living life doing things my way

Recognized that I'm alright living life my way (repeated).


It's okay for me to be hurt but not for longer (not for long, not for long)

It's okay to be hurt, but not for an extended period (repeated).

Sometimes I might forget my word but not for long (no)

Occasionally forget my worth, but not for long (repeated).

I will remind myself that you gon' be mad when I bounce back, yeah

Remind myself that you'll regret when I bounce back (repeated).

I know sometimes I put you first but not for long, yeah

Sometimes put you first, but not for long (repeated).

But not for long

But not for long (repeated).
