The Break Up Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Girl, I know, I know you bought me the watch
You ain't get it back though
My name on the back though
I flipped the lock to the back door
And took the key under the mat though
I know you hate that
But you did some things that you cannot take back
I needed change
Left a nickel for a dime ,that is a payback
"What you saying?"
Bitch, I'm over you and I ain't playing
Should've been a one night stand
But here we go again
[Chorus]
I wish that I loved you
Or that I cared (Right, right)
Or that I'd even give a damn if you were here
But you're gone, so it's fuck you (Fuck you, fuck you)
I'm a player (Yeah, yeah)
I am everything that you wanted, but you're scared
I wish I could say I loved you (Say I loved you)
Or that I cared (Right, right)
Or that I'd even give a damn if you were here
But you're gone, so it's fuck you (Fuck you, fuck you)
I'm a player (Yeah, yeah)
I am everything that you wanted, but you're scared
Girl, I know, I know you bought me the watch
You ain't get it back though
My name on the back though
I flipped the lock to the back door
And took the key under the mat though
I know you hate that
But you did some things that you cannot take back
I needed change
Left a nickel for a dime ,that is a payback
"What you saying?"
Bitch, I'm over you and I ain't playing
Should've been a one night stand
But here we go again
[Chorus]
I wish that I loved you
Or that I cared (Right, right)
Or that I'd even give a damn if you were here
But you're gone, so it's fuck you (Fuck you, fuck you)
I'm a player (Yeah, yeah)
I am everything that you wanted, but you're scared
I wish I could say I loved you (Say I loved you)
Or that I cared (Right, right)
Or that I'd even give a damn if you were here
But you're gone, so it's fuck you (Fuck you, fuck you)
I'm a player (Yeah, yeah)
I am everything that you wanted, but you're scared
[Verse 2]
Ayy, please never call me
Do not mention me in any stories
Do not show up at the homie's party
Come up to me and then say, "I'm sorry"
You're just a, you just a, hold up, let me stop
The Henny shots got the petty talk coming
I don't wanna have them thoughts running
Can't believe that I bust in a thot's stomach
Fuck is wrong with you?
I don't even get along with you (Not even a little bit)
But the head was phenomenal
Used to do that in the car with you (Haha, true)
Used to travel 'round the world
Just for the rendezvous (Come through)
Now I gotta get high just to deal with you
These are the chronicles
[Chorus]
I wish that I loved you
Or that I cared (Right, right)
Or that I'd even give a damn if you were here
But you're gone, so it's fuck you (Fuck you, fuck you)
I'm a player (Yeah, yeah)
I am everything that you wanted, but you're scared
I wish I could say I loved you (Say I loved you)
Or that I cared (Right, right)
Or that I'd even give a damn if you were here
But you're gone, so it's fuck you (Fuck you, fuck you)
I'm a player (Yeah, yeah)
I am everything that you wanted, but you're scared
Ayy, please never call me
Do not mention me in any stories
Do not show up at the homie's party
Come up to me and then say, "I'm sorry"
You're just a, you just a, hold up, let me stop
The Henny shots got the petty talk coming
I don't wanna have them thoughts running
Can't believe that I bust in a thot's stomach
Fuck is wrong with you?
I don't even get along with you (Not even a little bit)
But the head was phenomenal
Used to do that in the car with you (Haha, true)
Used to travel 'round the world
Just for the rendezvous (Come through)
Now I gotta get high just to deal with you
These are the chronicles

I wish that I loved you
Or that I cared (Right, right)
Or that I'd even give a damn if you were here
But you're gone, so it's fuck you (Fuck you, fuck you)

[Bridge]
(Yeah, yeah)
(I wish that I loved you)
[Chorus]
I wish that I loved you
Or that I cared (Right, right)
Or that I'd even give a damn if you were here
But you're gone, so it's fuck you (Fuck you, fuck you)

Everything that you wanted
(Yeah, yeah)
(I wish that I loved you)
[Chorus]
I wish that I loved you
Or that I cared (Right, right)

But you're gone, so it's fuck you (Fuck you, fuck you)
I'm a player (Yeah, yeah)
I am everything that you wanted, but you're scared
I wish I could say I loved you (Say I loved you)
Or that I cared (Right, right)
Or that I'd even give a damn if you were here
But you're gone, so it's fuck you (Fuck you, fuck you)
I'm a player (Yeah, yeah)
I am everything that you wanted
Everything that you wanted
About
Genius Annotation
This song was first previewed on Kells' Europe Tour “27”, more specifically in Dublin, Ireland. Before starting this song he talked about the meaning behind it, mentioning that he just went through his first major breakup and has noticed that the other side (his ex) “is just a bitch”.
The track includes hip-hop/trap beats and the unusual–for Colson–use of Autotune, with which he seems to be experimenting with.
