Verse 1
You had me out here looking crazy,
Making excuses to my friends.
Saying, “He’s just going through it,”
Knowing damn well it was the end.
I wore your problems like they fit me,
Carried weight that wasn’t mine.
Somehow I lost myself
Trying to help you find your shine.
Funny how the woman
Who would’ve crossed the ocean…
Couldn’t get you
To cross the street.
⸻
Pre-Chorus
You wanted all of my patience,
Every ounce of my grace.
Wanted me to play ride-or-die…
While you couldn’t even stay.
⸻
Chorus
I can’t keep loving somebody
Who’s comfortable watching me break.
You kept taking and taking…
Till there was nothing left to take.
Now you calling…
Now you changing…
Now you saying you’ve changed.
Boy…
That sounds good…
But it couldn’t be me.
Not this time.
⸻
Verse 2
You loved me
When I was fixing everything.
Soon as I needed fixing…
You disappeared.
Had me questioning my beauty.
Questioning my worth.
Whole time…
I was the blessing…
And you were the lesson.
⸻
Pre-Chorus
I ain’t mad…
I’m exhausted.
There’s a difference.
⸻
Chorus
I can’t keep loving somebody
Who’s comfortable watching me cry.
If I gotta convince you
To love me…
Baby…
That’s my sign.
I ain’t chasing…
I ain’t begging…
I ain’t losing me again.
You can keep the memories…
I’m keeping my peace.
⸻
Bridge (Jazmine-style vocal moment)
I would’ve stayed…
If you would’ve tried.
I would’ve forgiven…
If you would’ve changed.
I would’ve kept choosing you…
If you ever…
Chose me.
(Big vocal run)
But you didn’t…
So now…
I do.
⸻
Final Chorus
You don’t lose a woman like me…
Every day.
You’ll look for me
In somebody else.
But she’ll never love you
Like I did.
And that’s not arrogance…
That’s the truth.
’Cause women like me…
Don’t stop loving…
We just stop settling.
