It's a hard pill to swallow, I don't want to let go
But I can't love a stranger
You'll be a hard act to follow, when I'm out on my own
But we both need a change, yeah
Yeah
Nobody's perfect
I know that's one thing for certain
As our connection gets worsened
I don't know you now the tables are turnin'
Memories fade away
Filled up with pain, I've caved and caved
You wouldn't change to save the day
I guess every heart was made to break
Know you always tryna judge me
How you thinking that you really are above me
Think you must love to see me drowning down
So many times you had me swimming upstream
If I needed your help doubt you'd hold the rope
You never cared how I felt on this lonely road
You got so much pride, bout to overload
And never hearing my side when we're toe to toe
Yeah, tired of the lies
Twisting my words when you look in my eyes
Then you play the victim, fabricate the whole time
Got me burning all around you just to brighten up your life
I'm off of this ride, feel dead inside
Lost all emotion, I been deprived
So don't come around when things ain't going right
You ain't show me any love now I'm leaving you behind
So listen
It's a hard pill to swallow, I don't want to let go
But I can't love a stranger
You'll be a hard act to follow, when I'm out on my own
But we both need a change, yeah
Look
Think you were only good inside my mind
Painted up a picture, got me feeling blind
Never once said or claimed to be an angel
But around you is hell this whole time
See I'm not perfect but I try to learn and grow from every fault I make
Yeah you're the type to bring somebody down
If it meant you're further up the wall today
So would you please turn off that ego
'Cause I can see through you how you go and pray I fall flat
I changed up my act and made my own path
Go and talk bad about me and hate on all that
Damn, know you loving it anytime that I'm down
Hate to see my growth, hope that it dies now
See I tried to compliment your life
But knowing I was down, you used me just to fly out
Don't try to switch the story up to paint you all gold
All that fake love got me feeling tense in my throat
Always tryna cry wolf, spreading lies like a cold
Getting sick from all the times you made me feel alone
On my own out there
Tell em that I changed up and it's unfair
But I cannot grow in a place that I'm hurtin'
And I can't love somebody who ain't ever really cared
So listen
It's a hard pill to swallow, I don't want to let go
But I can't love a stranger
You'll be a hard act to follow, when I'm out on my own
But we both need a change, yeah
