[Hook] x2 I should die today You walking away With everything I need in me girl I’m saying, everything here Was once such sweet sweet love
[Verse 1] It was a summer unlike any other, loving was hot and heavy Plus she had crazy legs, so we was rocking steady I felt like akinyele mixed with arthur fonzarelli Should have known better, soul Homie, you ain’t gotta tell me
Daydreaming in this meadow of steel I was a couple of levels above head over heels She had a Physique that could weaken a celibate monk But her Sweetheart demeanor was a delicate front
No nevermind that We were both especially young So anything that I expected was ahead of the gun But one night, she wasn’t checking her phone I should have left it alone, but I knew she had that nose that tended to run
I was stressing and panicking, had abandonment issues I was texting and calling, hollering like damn it, I miss you She said she’s deading it, I said you know the past that i’ve been through But she ain’t even wanna talk about it, so all I thought about it was
[Hook] x2 I should die today You walking away With everything I need in me girl I’m saying, everything here Was once such sweet sweet love
Or sometimes sitting on the train platform, letting my legs dangle Thinking maybe I should jump down, getting my flesh mangled Luckily hesitated and stopped my decline And reconnected with some friends who told me I would be fine, I told ‘em
[Hook] x2 I should die today You walking away With everything I need in me girl I’m saying, everything here Was once such sweet sweet love
