From Time Lyrics
[Intro: Jhene Aiko]
What's up?
Been a minute since we kicked it, you've been caught up
With them bitches, I don't get it, you're a star love
You shouldn't have to deal with that
I'd never make you feel like that
Cause...
[Hook: Jhene Aiko]
I love me, I love me enough for the both of us
That's why you trust me, I know you been through more than most of us
So what are you? What are you, what are you so afraid of?
Darling you, you give but you cannot take love
[Verse 1: M.Wade]
Yea, we were too offensive
2 young adults struggling to pay our tuition
Even though nothing felt the same I still saw no difference
I never wrote enough picture for the painter to finish
But, you had your way with me
I was hoping you would stay with me
Furthest thing from religious but I was hoping you could pray with me
Give me more than one chance to make it good
Just lay with me
Finally reaching our goals, this is what we're made to be
Well at least I thought
The ball was in my corner the same one I thought I caught
I turned out right and then you left me, told me the things I better do
Ya circle started shrinking you dipped out like the letter Q
Damn, I just stumbled past your notebooks
Reminiscing bout the dinners
Man everything was home cooked
Failed at love a couple times, I'm passing with these no looks
Now, cause I believe in this magic
But times passed, things as shady as the skin tone
One memory, it's Hayley Williams singing on your ringtone
We tried to band together, see I text you now you and then
Cause I notice you start to miss me whenever your man's gone
Yea, you see the scars from the honesty
Acting out in public that was only thing that bothered me
Pops called me last night and said "Malik, this how college be
You'll eventually find the one, I just hope that I'm alive to see"
What's up?
Been a minute since we kicked it, you've been caught up
With them bitches, I don't get it, you're a star love
You shouldn't have to deal with that
I'd never make you feel like that
Cause...

[Verse 2: Andy Ramos]
Leaving was a choice, but sometimes I regret it
Too deep into myself, I'm feeling all embedded
Didn't want it to happen but I know I had to let it
There's nothing to what we had, I know I had to end it
And as time goes on, I think of how I've changed
Wishing I could go back and kept all of it the same
There's days when I'm thinking, I could've done things better
At the time I couldn't see it, couldn't keep us together
I needed my space and she didn't understand
Wasn't ready for commitment but wanted her in my hands
Those didn't go together, so soon it created problems
Tried to be optimistic but knew that I couldn't solve em
At a point I just gave up, cause none of us were ready
It all started off light, the feelings got too heavy
We both became scared, of the way that we were feeling
Now we memories, you're body was so appealing, damn
I thought you were the one
Never thought we would stop, could never see us done
See that's a perfect example , that looks are deceiving
But mistakes are apparent, we are just humanbeings
And I'm just a human being, being honest to the rest
Speaking off all my mind, and getting things off my chest
But still... Girl you were the best
And if you want it again, I wouldn't second guess
