[Verse 1]
Yeah
You had my mama asking where I been
You had my boys saying I’m gone again
You had me staring at the ceiling fan
Counting every little lie, every bitter plan
You call it love, I call it pressure
You call it “us,” I call it extra
Every “sorry” came with interest
Every hug came with a hit list
[Chorus]
Love don’t play, it cuts too deep
Soul love can’t stop me from leaving
My heart ripped apart, I’m bleeding
The love we shared, the pain you brought
Is more than I can pay, I’m leaving
You should’ve known, you should’ve known
Love don’t play, love don’t play
[Verse 2]
You threw my hoodie on the front step
Said I’m the villain in your rough draft
But you edited the parts where you lied
You forgot the nights you made me cry
You turned my soft side into stone
Turned my safe place to a war zone
Now my suitcase by the front door
Keys on the counter, I’m done for
[Chorus]
Love don’t play, it cuts too deep
Soul love can’t stop me from leaving
My heart ripped apart, I’m bleeding
The love we shared, the pain you brought
Is more than I can pay, I’m leaving
You should’ve known, you should’ve known
Love don’t play, love don’t play
[Bridge]
You thought I’d stay ‘cause I’m loyal (yeah)
You thought I’d break at your voice (uh)
You thought my scars were your trophies
You thought my hurt was your choice (wow)
Now every text go unread
Every memory I left on read
If love is a game, then I’m done keeping score
You already lost when I walked out the door (skrrt)
[Chorus]
Love don’t play, it cuts too deep
Soul love can’t stop me from leaving
My heart ripped apart, I’m bleeding
The love we shared, the pain you brought
Is more than I can pay, I’m leaving
You should’ve known, you should’ve known
Love don’t play, love don’t play
