Lyrics
Tell me
You really want me back
Or try to help me
So I can stay on track
But don’t allow me
To run around like that
Cuz I been drowning
And all I see is black
For days now I been following my soul
Cuz I don’t know what else I need to know
If I move on will you let me go
Im’ slowly drifting
I’m drifting away
From the face that I once was
Give me a break
I done lost all of my love
Turnin’ away
From the things I been going thru
Im not the same
Me I was when I met you
You can’t even say the same things about me
Cuz I remember when you used to doubt me
So you know I changed
I’m not the boy that you once loved
I hope you’re okay
But don’t apply that to me no
I hope you’re ok
I’ve been down this road before
Takes a long long time for a love to dissemble
And I’ve been trynna open doors
To a love like that but I keep on
I’m drifting away
From the face that I once was
Give me a break
I done lost all of my love
Turnin’ away
From the things I been going thru
Im not the same
Me I was when I met you
You can’t even say the same things about me
Cuz I remember when you used to doubt me
So you know I changed
I’m not the boy that you once loved
I hope you’re okay
But don’t apply that to me no
I hope you’re ok
