He had to learn it's not a loss, it's a lesson
Like the problems that he saw in adolescence
He thought that he could solve 'em with acceptance
Thought that he could solve 'em, but he found that he suppressed 'em
And then it came out when it really mattered
He met a young woman and went and hid the baggage
She said hello to him and he replied what's happening
The conversation is going and flowing: automatic
She from Virginia and one day, she wanna hit Alaska,
She go to college for theatre but never been dramatic
Her favorite color: pink, her favorite artist
And she in love with Jesus, then he knew he had to have her
At least he thought he knew, but he was really wrong
She opened up to the kid, but he did her wrong
His excuse was, the two moving too fast
News flash
Dude was really stuck on the dudes past
I've been trynna hold it down
Are you trying to slow it, only
Tell me so I know it now
Is it really over, own it
You don't even know, you're just going through the motions
I'll be by your side, here to hold you
Always by your side, here to hold you
But I noticed
I've been trynna hold it down
Are you trying to slow it, only
Tell me so I know it now
Is it really over, own it
You don't even know, you're just going through the motions
I'll be by your side, here to hold you
Always by your side, here to hold you
But I noticed
Wow, the years of porn started catching up
Years of seeing couples in their struggles started adding up
Passing up, every opportunity to pass it up
Let his lack of intimate initiate her backing up
Months past but the contact still alive
No cap, kept the contact minimized
'Til his eyes opened up, he was ill-advised
No surprise, it was 'bout time he could feel the vibe
Now he could see she's everything he prayed for
Thanking God that he could see that she was made for him
Put it on his mind: grind like a skateboard
Wait, it don't even feel the same, Lord
You mean to tell me that my ignorance done closed her heart
I ignored the signs to get a spot in Noah's ark
I let my trash of a past have us drove apart
Lord, you know the start
I already tried to hold it down
But you only slowed it, only
Didn't tell me so it's over now
Yeah, it's really over, own it
Had to let you go, since you going through the motions
I was on your side, there to hold you
Always on your side, there to hold you
Now it's over
Now it's over
Yeah, it's over
Now it's over
