[Verse 1]
Rather be alone than ever settle
Or, do things the wrong way just to regret it
Niggas come and niggas go
I still remember
So the walls built too high for yellin' timber
’Cause the last time a nigga told me I was special
The last time I let go, I'm sentimental
Remember niggas asked me what you asked of me
I ain't tryna make an issue but it has to be
Ooohh, my heart is in shambles, oh no more
Damn I hate that my baggage keeps me from movin’ forward

[Pre-Chorus]
But you showed me your best side, ooohh (Best side ooohh)
The same way they did last time, ooohh (Last time ooohh)
I really wanna trust it, I do (Oohh)
But I just got so much to lose
I know niggas and the way they move
Wanna trust you but I don't know how to

[Chorus]
'Cause how could I really know? (How could)
If you sugar coat (Ah ah)
Say whatever y'all want (Y'all want, y'all want)
You wanna know my biggest fear (Ah ah)
Is that if I let you in (Ah ah)
Is you gon' disappear? (Ohh ohh)

[Verse 2]
Late nights alone, when we're together (Ah)
When you take my clothes off, I still know better (Ah)
Tryna to see the picture that you paint for me
But I don’t really trust you niggas with monogamy
’Cause the last time a nigga told me I was special (Told me I was)
The last time I gave my all, he did whatever (Told me I was)
So everything you saying sound good to me
But it could easy go from sweet to a catastrophe

[Pre-Chorus]
But you showed me your best side, ooohh (Best side ooohh)
The same way they did last time, ooohh (Last time ooohh)
I really wanna trust it, I do, ooohh (Trust it (x3) I do, really wanna trust)
But I just got so much to lose (Too much)
I know niggas and the way they move (Ohh)
Wanna trust you but I don't know how to

[Chorus]
How could I ever know? (How could)
If you sugar coat (Ah ah)
Say whatever y’all want (Y'all want, whatever y'all want to oohh)
You wanna know my biggest fear (Ah ah)
Is that if I let you in (Ah ah)
Is you gon' disappear? (Ohh Ohh)

[Verse 3]
Rock in a hard place, I’m in the middle
Just try to see my side, just for a little
If you the real thing, God only knows
Shit about myself that I didn't know
When you fall you don't want no regrets
Playing games, ain't no time to reset
I'm tryna to love you but just give me a sec
These not feelins' that you gotta respect

'Cause I have these lucid dreams
Where I just can't move a thing
Thinkin' of you in my head
You say you're in love with me
You'll give me everything
But I'd rather be sure instead

[Chorus x2]
How could I ever know? (How could)
If you sugar coat (Ah ah)
Say whatever y'all want (Y'all want, whatever y'all want to oohh)
You wanna know my biggest fear (Ah ah)
Is that if I let you in (Ah ah)
Is you gon' disappear? (Ohh Ohh)
