about
So, this song was something that I did on my old laptop a few months back and I thought I'd release this to promote an upcoming mixtape that this song is part of called 'Young and Slept On'.
So I hope you enjoy this little break up song. :)
lyrics
[Hook]
You do not know me like you used to know me,
If you think otherwise, you best go and show me.
'Cause I'm not that one man that you say you love,
I'm walking away now 'cause I've had enough.
[Verse 1]
Save your tears like The Weeknd.
You never cared at all, you would just pretend
That you would love me unconditionally,
Had high faith in us like a missionary.
Thought you were the one, 'fraid now we're done.
You would show me love, you gave my heart a run!
I would stand by your side so dutiful,
Thought you and me together would be beautiful!
Suddenly I see, that all you cared about,
Was all the damn pounds, inside my bank account!
Only wanted money, would put the stress on!
You're a Gold Digger like a Kanye West song!
I was working hard, you weren't on the grind!
You'd rather mooch off every penny you could find
That was given to me, you were never greatful,
And now you're wonderin', why I'm so hateful!
(I think I'm better alone)
'Cause-!
[Hook]
[Verse 2]
I can Swim Good like I'm Frank Ocean!
So you go ahead and play with my emotions!
You say leaving you would put me in a worst state,
But you never loved me in the first place!
All my love for you, thought you could articulate,
But all you can do is manipulate,
You'd pull my strings with little to no regret,
Then you'd leave me hanging like a marionette!
Your love was never real, better go dead it!
Now the show's over, roll credits!
'Cause it's time to take a bow like Rihanna,
Exit stage left with your false manners.
You better pack up your shit and leave,
'Cause you are not the one that I need!
All you did to me was cause stress at home,
Guess I can say that I'm Better Off Alone.
(I think I'm better alone)
Yeah!
[Hook]
