Before You Go

**** hey

I know you ain't tryna hear me out but

There's a couple of things I wanna get off my chest

Listen...

 

I know sometimes you wonder when I'm not there

You feel frustrated thinking that I don't care

Cause I don't, answer my phone

I don't, return your call

I don't, do all the things

That I, once did before

It's just the way I am, let me assure you

Baby nothing could be further from the truth

Sometimes I, be working late

Cause I, gotta write that song

Don't be, too quick to judge(you can)

That somethings wrong

I know I shouldve spend more time

That was my mistake

Girl I don't wanna change your mind

But before you go

 

Just know that, I wasn't tryna push you away

All I ever wanted, was you to stay

And before you up and leave

I just need you to see

Losing you was not a part of the plan

Know that, I wasn't tryna push you away

And before you go

Just let me say, I'm sorry I could'ntbe that boy

But please believe

All I wanted was... all I wanted was to be your man

 

Baby understand I never meant to hurt you

And I realized the way that I mistreat you

I'm thinking of all the things, that I could've done

Shouldve, made you believe, that, you were the one

To see you walk away caught me by suprise

I guess you meant more to me than I realized

I wish, I could go back but, what's done is done

So now I guess it's times that we try to move on

I know I shouldve been right there

That was my mistake

Girl I ain't tryna change your mind

I know it's much too late

 

Just know that, I wasn't tryna push you away

All I ever wanted, was you to stay

And before you up and leave

I just need you to see

Losing you was not a part of the plan

Know that, I wasn't tryna push you away

And before you go

Just let me say, I'm sorry I could'ntbe that boy

But please believe

All I wanted was...

All I wanted was to be your man

 

I thought I needed time and space

But seeing you walk away

Has made me realize this isnt

How it was supposed to be... ya yeaa

 

As I'm sitting here alone writing this song

Tryna figure out what the **** went wrong

I remember how we used to be baby

And everything I did that would drive you crazy

I would stay out all night

You go left and I go right

To the studio for confessionals

Sitting right by another fight

You were right

Yes I learned, did like usher and let it burn

Wish I could turn back the hands of time

Make you wanna stand three little words

Looking back, it was just that easy

I'm not saying this so that you won't leave me

I just hope you hear the song and believe me

 

Just know that, I wasn't tryna push you away

All I ever wanted, was you to stay

And before you up and leave

I just need you to see

Losing you was not a part of the plan

Know that, I wasn't tryna push you away

And before you go

Just let me say, I'm sorry I could'ntbe that boy

But please believe

All I wanted was... all I wanted was to be your man

 

Just know that, I wasn't tryna push you away

All I ever wanted, was you to stay

And before you up and leave

I just need you to see

Losing you was not a part of the plan

Know that, I wasn't tryna push you away

And before you go

Just let me say, I'm sorry I could'ntbe that boy

But please believe

All I wanted was...

All I wanted was to be your man
