lyrics

You damn right I'm confident, but you know that I had to be,
If I wasn't, how could I land, you stand next to me,
I think I'm afraid of me, and I'm paying the fee,
blind to whatever everyone is telling' me is plain to see,
I got a good girl, fuck it, a dinner is good,
I see what's on my plate baby, My girl is great,
better that great, better then grapes when you wait,
for them to age and we take a sip together, while watching the rain,
but like the raindrops falling - you slipping away,
and now the street is just as wet as the tears of my face,
I couldn't see it, I'm paying for it, it's my mistake,
I thought you were the reason I decided to wait

So forgive me - even if skies are grey,
I'm gonna learn and love you little better with each day,
This ain't a situation, my charm will help me escape,
I had to do some soul searching, and be willing to say,
I messed up…. and I'm asking for grace,
I'm not asking God, I'm asking you to your face,
Cause I hurt you and made you think we weren't in the same place,
We were - it's just you were a little a head of me in the race,
I'm fat, It took me a second to catch up,
I'm sorry men are slow and I ain't felt another embrace,
like the one between us, the feeling insane,
We made it through so many things but they still couldn't break,


hook:


Verse 2:
Everyday that passes raises the stakes,
Not afraid anymore - and you're saying its too late,
You think the good times were good, you only got a taste,

I wanna be a part of your life, your favorite part,
Yeah I'm artist, but quite frankly your laugher is art,
the little things are little things, can't drive us apart,
but the big things are the big things I should've fixed from the start,

Time is nothing to me, You have my heart,
this ain't a movie I'm not role playing the part,
I'm don't wanna chill with you, just to make you happy,
I'm ready to embrace the bullshit, I'm old and sappy,
If I'm at a club, my girl better be there to catch me,
when I'm toe up and the bouncers gotta grab me,
you're supposed to be back stage, the shit starts happening,
and I rip it, and I walk off, you kiss me frantically,
we're supposed to on planes, to go do things,
surprise you with a dress and some cute earrings,
really What am I always in a hurry to go To DO?,
nothing means anything if it doesn't include you -
boo, true, two it takes to tango, but the blues
are
sung by 1, and I'm singing em hon,

I respect you more and more like everyday,
I love the way you talk, even if you cuss at me,
there's not a single thing about you I could ever hate,
and I'm devastated my dumb ass made you feel that way,
I u got more problems at the end of the day,
and the truth is I need you to help me you make it all okay,
Don't go away, not yet, we're just starting things,
We got a long life of creating memories,
At dinner I'll make you laugh, throw away my phone,
And when we argue, I'l be gentle and work on my tone,
fuck it, I'll even get a pedicure and work on my toes,
I wouldn't do this for any girl, that's how I know you gotta be,
the one, cause only the one could make me wanna be

a better me….

Sincerely,
Ali
