Lyrics

You never took the time to make me feel like I was okay

You neglected to invest time in making me feel emotionally secure

Goodbyes never feel good

Farewells are always emotionally challenging

So I don't like to say them no ways

I prefer not to say goodbyes in any way

But I've been saying that a lot

Expressing repetition of saying something a lot, possibly goodbyes

I've been saying that a lot

-

I've been saying that a lot

-

I've been saying that a lot

-

Yeah I've been crushin', whippin'

Describing the struggle and efforts to cope with difficulties, feeling lost

Tryna find another way to cope

-

I see red light, after red light

-

I don't got know where to go

-

Feel I've rock the boat so much now I'm just tryna stay afloat

-

But I really can't slow up

-

No I really won't slow- (Look)

-

I just really your love when I'm home now

Expressing a yearning for love when at home, loyalty to hometown

Always know that I show love to my hometown

-

Kinda feels like we broke up

Feeling like a breakup due to missing important life events

Cause I missed a few weddings

Reflecting on missed weddings and birthdays, acknowledging surface perceptions

And a lot of birthdays

-

But what they know lies on the surface

-

And they don't know if they don't survey

-

You never took the time to make me feel like I was okay

Repetition of the theme of expressing goodbyes frequently

Goodbyes never feel good

-

So I don't like to say them no ways

-

But I've been saying that a lot

-

I've been saying that a lot

-

I've been saying that a lot

-

I've been saying that a lot

-

Second verse is dedicated to a real one wish you didn't have to go

Dedicating the second verse to someone important, expressing deep love and connection, facing life's challenges

Always love you like a brother what you mean to me you'll probably never know

-

Though our lives are being pulled in 2 directions

-

Ain't no second guessing

-

What we got is what's we've been through

-

Lord knows that's more than a reverend saying

-

Can I get an amen

-

Praying like can I get another day man

-

You never took the time to make me feel like I was okay

Reiteration of the emotional struggle and the frequent expression of goodbyes

Goodbyes never feel good

-

So I don't like to say them no ways

-

But I've been saying that a lot

-

I've been saying that a lot

-

I've been saying that a lot

-

I've been saying that a lot
