I don't sing I tell stories
I don't rap I tell stories
I don't produce I tell stories
I don't make music I tell stories
Sit down while I tell you a story
I remember I met this girl in the club back in freshman year
And something told me she was different but
The thing about meeting a girl in the club is you meet them right where they belong
And I remember dating was a struggle too because
I was with them but In my head I was still with you
And I just didn't want to admit it
I wasn't really dating for love
Just didn't want to feel alone anymore
And I missed my family but this is the life I chose
I began to reminisce about the diamonds in the rough
Though there was only ever really one
And when the holidays rolled around the loneliness grew
But so did my awareness
(Ah woah woah woah)
(Shush...)
(One two one two)
Hm
(One two one two)
Ah
But then I met this girl man
(One two one two)
And she made trying seem like
Like maybe it was worth a shot
(Come on now stay with damn it stay with me)
But god brings people into our lives for seasons
And though winter was ending I was still holding on
(one two one two come on)
(one two one two come on)
Eventually I was the only one holding on
I remembered how it was and I knew if we just made it back to the city
Things would fix themselves
(Come on Come on)
But we never made it back to New York
(One two one)
A storm came and washed those hopes away
And I had to prepare for who I was to become in your absence
But I have to give credit where credit is due
To the first two who prepared me for the third I say thank you
And though growing up is hard
A great man once said to me
There's big things and little things
