[Intro: Leroy Colbert Sr.]
I don't mean to hurt her feelings
I don't mean to fuss at her
I don't mean to do a lot of things
That I do do, I don't mean to do it
But like I said, I'm a just have to bring
Myself together
[Chorus: Jordan Cordel]
Yeah I knew better
Lord knows I can do better
But the lust of your love
Got me pulling up on you anytime whenever yeah
Yeah I knew better
Yeah I knew better
Better
[Verse 1: Jordan D. Mitchell]
I'm sick of putting forth effort
When you make me question my worth
And we got unresolved trauma
We know this shit will not work
Damned If I delivered the world
And you returned me a block
After all that I heard why
The f*ck did I trust a thot
You got me cursing to god
Me and them don't talk quite a lot
They call this shit growing pains
Call it a hole in my heart
Thought I knew better this
I was tryna hit it and dip
You told me to stay and I did
I feel like clown in this bitch
Like I just wanted to f*ck
And you got way to close
And the nights you didn't stay
I would feel so damn alone
I miss you by my side
But by myself will I grow
Forever you hold my heart
And You refuse to let go
You got niggas and bitches
That you f*ck on side
But when you venting or sad
We in my car late at night
You said no strings attached
And yet our hearts end up tied
Cupid lit the wrong match
The nigga wasted our time
[Chorus: Jordan Cordel]
Yeah I knew better
Lord knows I can do better
But the lust of your love
Got me pulling up on you anytime whenever yeah
Yeah I knew better
Yeah I knew better
Better
[Verse 2: Jordan D. Mitchell]
Moonrise when I kissed your lips and told you that I love you
And if we keep one hundred I never trusted in you
Skip class to walk yo ass home your essence enchants my soul
We been through heartbreak before didn't think I'd could suffer more
Shawty, my friends didn't trust you
They said you play too much games
And damn they were right
I look back embarrassed in shame
And I think how in the hell
Could shawty run this game
On the player who mastered the tricks of the trade
You wrote me a poem and
I made you a symphony
You told me you loved me I
Thought you were feeling me
You opened my heart
I ain't know you were killing me
And I hate this part cuz
I let you get into me
Disposable cameras an
An allegory to our memories
I wrote you a love letter and
Played you all the melodies
You went M.I.A when you
Thought you were pregnant
And pulled up to my crib
Blackout drunk and
[Verse 3]
How we in our early 20s loving people we can't trust
And it never really hit me you might never give a f*ck
I wish you all the best, I hope your having fun
You made me feel blessed when the devil kept her touch
You been flaking so much I don't think your word bond
And you mad when I get mad now I think I'm in the wrong
Some bitches get a poem and you got a couple of songs
Tell you leave my ass alone, but I never miss your calls
I almost lost my niggas tryna defend the cuts you made
Girl our love is broken glass best proceed with caution tape
The wound runs deep, can't bring in nobody new
But i know for damn sure that i won't end up with you
I tried my best to return, you tried and yet you failed
You need self reflection and I need a farewell
We made magic happen, I know you could tell
I f*cking hate myself, wish I could disappear
I'm alone in my home, and nothing ever felt the same
I'm alone in my soul, I be hoping for that day
Sometime we could pretend that we didn't reach the end
But shawty in the end I fell before my sins
