it's just so you know

Hey... this isn't to fight, it's just so you know... [Intro]

I go out to hustle and grind for you,

thinking about us, about making it through.

I come home just wanting to make you smile,

with plans in my head and craving you all the while.

And you... cold.

The same excuse, the same scene again,

saying "I'm starting trouble" when I ask why nothing's done, my friend.

Baby, I don't want war,

I just want to come home, have dinner served,

have you for dessert, and sleep peacefully in your arms.

But you say you don't want to depend on me,

yet you live off the sweat that I bleed, you see?

Our family is growing, babe, and you don't realize,

that I'm the only one sacrificing here in your eyes. [Chorus]

What good is it if I move heaven and earth to lay at your feet,

if you don't give a single kiss, nor a spark of heat?

I offered you my world, I gave you my skin,

and you repay me by leaving me alone, being the wall you never were within.

Our kids

can start learning to help around the house now.

I tell you, "don't let them think life is just games, anyhow,

or feel bad just because they're told to clean up." And you

tell me you did make them, but I get home and everything's untouched, baseline.

You tell me I don't live here, that I don't see a thing,

but I'm no fool, I see the game you're playing.

And the lie hurts way more than the mess, mama,

it hurts that you try to play me when I speak the truth to ya.

I'm not begging anymore, I'm not pushing through,

I'm tired of being the only one ready for you.

If your body is here but your mind is gone,

you better say no, but don't keep lying on.

Because a man who loves,

also gets tired of loving alone in the dark above.

I used to come home wanting to shower you with kisses,

and you received me with a thousand excuses.

I wanted to be your man, your team, your stay,

and you never wanted to be my woman anyway.

So I'm walking away, but leaving you this final track,

so you know I gave it my all and got nothing back.

Because even if I brought you the heaven, the moon, and the sea,

when a woman doesn't want to... you can't force her to love me.

The wall you never were...
