[Chorus]
I’m ready to change, I just can’t be the only one who’s changing
I gave you the world, you wanted planets, so I started spacing
I can’t restrain myself from loving you, but I’ll be fine
I’ll drink the pain away and erase these thoughts inside my mind
Tough pill to swallow but I’m grown, so I’ma have to take it
She’s not your girl, it’s just your turns, advice I should have taken
It drives me crazy that I didn’t stop and read the signs
I’m swerving in and out the state
Of love is blind

[Verse 1]

You can’t be saved, so when I pray
I ask God for strength to help me walk away
Make no mistake, I am in pain
But rathеr choose myself than go another day
Ignoring why this is not hеalthy
You’re playing with my heart and there’s things that you don’t tell me
You stay wasting my time
I wrestle with your pride
Your ego trips are driving me insane
And out my mind

[Bridge]
So, I sleep, ’cause when I’m awake
I think about those times we had
And all those good old days
The things we used to say
The love we used to make
The way that time would stop
When we’d communicate, baby

[Chorus]
I’m ready to change, I just can’t be the only one who’s changing
One who’s changing
I gave you the world, you wanted planets, so I started spacing
Started spacing

I can’t restrain myself from loving you, but I’ll be fine
I’ll be fine
I’ll drink the pain away and erase these thoughts inside my mind
Inside my mind
Tough pill to swallow but I’m grown, so I’ma have to take it
Have to take it
She’s not your girl, it’s just your turns, advice I should have taken
Should have taken
It drives me crazy that I didn’t stop and read the signs
Read the signs
I’m swerving in and out the state
Of love is blind

[Verse 2]
And too much trouble to make ends meet
I would work those doubles, gave you a life I couldn’t afford
I paid the price and now I struggle
I was chasing dollar signs
Trying to protect you and provid
ave our kids their mother’s nature
But took all their father’s time
You didn’t appreciate it
Why do you play the victim every time
I bring up my pain?
Break it down, pick it up and explain
Say a real man wouldn’t even complain
Gas the light, fan the flame
Then throw it back right in my face
I think it might be best
We go our separate ways
But I don’t want that, baby
There’s too much history that’s involved
We’re like Pokémon, my baby
We got a play to our strengths to evolve
Put God first and have faith
Let love lead and light the way
Push out darkness, evil and hate
And be the change we wish to see

[Chorus]
I’m ready to change, I just can’t be the only one who’s changing
One who’s changing
I gave you the world, you wanted planets so I started spacing
Started spacing
I can’t restrain myself from loving you, but I’ll be fine
I’ll be fine
I’ll drink the pain away and erase these thoughts inside my mind
Inside my mind
Tough pill to swallow, but I’m grown, so I’ma have to take it
I have to take it
She’s not your girl, it’s just your turns, advice I should have taken
I should have taken
It drives me crazy that I didn’t stop and read the signs
Read the signs
I’m swerving in and out the state
Of love is blind
