You only see me now

Mm, yeah… oh…

Ooh, ooh, yeah…

I was right here, baby…

I gave you all my time, all my love, all my ways (ahh)

But you were out playin’, caught up in the game (oh)

Now I’m gone, yeah, now I’m gone (ooh)

And you’re lookin’ back, wishin’ I was home (yeah…)

You didn’t see it, didn’t feel it (oh)

Now it’s too late, you can’t steal it (yeah)

I was patient, I was real (mmm)

But you only see me now, girl, that’s the deal (ah…)

You only see me now (ooh, ooh), yeah, when I’m gone (ahhh)

Feelin’ my love, feelin’ my soul, baby, I was strong (mm)

I gave you everything, you threw it away (oh, oh)

Now you want me back, but I’m gone, gone, gone (yeah…)

You only see me now (ooh, ooh), yeah, can’t rewind (ahhh)

All the times I stayed, all the love you left behind (mm)

I was yours, baby, and you didn’t know (ohh)

Now you want me back, but I’m gone, gone, gone

You flirted, you played, never gave me your heart (ahh)

Now you call my phone, girl, tryna restart (ooh)

I was patient, I was loyal, I was true (mmm)

Now it’s too late, baby, I’m gone without you (yeah…)

You didn’t see it, didn’t feel it (oh)

Now it’s too late, you can’t steal it (yeah)

I was patient, I was real (mmm)

But you only see me now, girl, that’s the deal (ah…)

You only see me now (ooh, ooh), yeah, when I’m gone (ahhh)

Feelin’ my love, feelin’ my soul, baby, I was strong (mm)

I gave you everything, you threw it away (oh, oh)

Now you want me back, but I’m gone, gone, gone (yeah…)

You only see me now (ooh, ooh), yeah, can’t rewind (ahhh)
