Verse 1:
To my other half, or what used to be, what I used to know,
how it’s used to seem & however it used to go,
never foresaw change as a all in all,
but now I’m all for a change baby call this off,
see my intentions were good with tryna be in this,
but I tried seeing it & couldn’t find me in it,
& I was ID’ing it, looking for a reason to fall back,
but still daydreaming of call backs,
I guess it was denial, I gave up the fight,
hoping you could downplay the downplays in my life,
I sang “job well done” holding banners in the stands, til’ you switched,
now when I think of handing you a hand, I get,
a little less enthused,
cause everything should be the same if we been true,
but everything is rearranged & I’m looking for a light switch,
wishing that I never had to write this

Hook:
I’m tryna be the best man that I can,
but you fail to realize where I stand, & I’m,
under pressure, the last thing I need is,
you telling me we can no longer be,
ma I’m tryna be the best man that I can,
but you fail to realize where I stand & I’m,
under pressure, cause everything I do, I do for us 2,
but you got me tryna move

Verse 2:
They say you fear what you don’t understand, try to bury it,
& criticize the chances that you don’t ever get,
so from the outside scoping in,
they look towards you to provide the hope for them,
& they being your friends, hate me yet again,
but it’s cool, cause none of them made me in the end,
& as for you, I but you on a higher plane,
so high it made it easier to fly away,
see I aint use no one’s opinion about you to out you,
never entertained a reason to ever doubt you,
but leave it up to you to play follow along,
they mad cause they don’t have & you dropping it off,
& the same ones calling saying what you oughta do,
wasn’t tryna help you with everything that you thought you knew,
& I felt for you, wishing I could be there,
but no matter what I told you, you never really cared

Hook:
I’m tryna be the best man that I can,
but they fail to realize where I stand, & I’m,
under pressure, the last thing I need is,

ma I’m tryna be the best man that I can,
but they fail to realize where I stand & I’m,

Verse 3:
He say, she say, they say, we say,
pointing fingers at anybody to earn leeway,
all the things you didn’t know but might’ve wondered,
I was tryna find an excuse to fight ‘em under,
I spent more time replying instead of trying,
but could’ve spent half that time to stop lying,
lying to myself & telling me what I wanna hear,
hoping it could erase the shit I done in here,
heartbeat running scared, outside freezer box,
know I got the perfect but I still wanted to see what I,
could pull, so it was all tug of war,
missed calls replaced the rose petal covered floors,
ms. wrong, you was right, & you deserve different,
& yea I work different but know that my hurt isn’t,
so no matter the weight, I’m willing to deal with it,
& hopefully we still with it, I’m just really…
