Barricade

Real life

She had bad luck when it came to relationships
And this one was no different
Broke up with her ex boyfriend the stakeouts were too consistent
Was close but now they’re distant
He thinks there’s someone else
Because whenever he brings it up to her she brings up someone else
Woah
She’s still hurting
Cos when they was together he hurt her
A part of her still loves him
He knows this cos he knows her
Feeling confused
To why she feels the way she feels towards the man she’s with
When all he did was keep it real
When her and her ex broke up
She likes him but she ain’t in love
He asked her if he’s worthy
She told him lets not rush
Used to tell everyone about him but nowadays she don’t bring him up
Used to always stop at his but nowadays she makes excuses up
And finds herself no longer wanting to sex
He’s insecure, she gives him reassurance over text
Cos when she calls he don’t accept
She can’t help it
The truth is she’s selfish and don’t wanna let him know that it’s over
He told her she’ll lose him but she don’t wanna let him go
Cos she knows she’s got a good man but she’s not in a good place
One day her ex-boyfriend rung her in front of my man’s face
And she never answered
He asked why
She phones back
But it’s too late
That was the last straw
But he’s made up his mind
He thinks they should go on a break
Time has passed since they last spoke
They pree each other to see if anyone else is involved
Too much pride to pick up the phone
She’s always on his mind but his mind’s made up
She needs time but she know’s time’s up
So they don’t think to try patch things up
Well I guess that’s how things go
Meanwhile her ex-boyfriend’s been keeping himself busy
In studio on a late night shift
He took a break on relationships
All of her friends know all of his songs
That’s why they can’t escape from him
Even though he’s the one who done wrong
She feels it’s right to escape with him
Cos they’ve got history
Her friends prefer the man she was seeing
But them two are history
She knows what she wants
He knows what she’s on
They’ve been talking more and now they get on
He knows my man’s gone
So suggests that they catch up cos it’s been so long since they last met
So they decide to link weekend
And catch up in a bar in town
The atmosphere’s kinda tense
So he breaks the ice and gets in the rounds
Conversation starts flowing
She begins to let her guard down
It feels so different this time than last time round
So she gets in the last round
Then they leave
He’s wavey
She’s wavey
In a taxi
To his house
Going with the flow
They know what’s going down but no-one’s saying no
Igniting the flames
Now they link up every other day
But she starts to get too attached
So he plays the silent game
She realises he ain’t changed
She feels used
He don’t want a girl
She don’t understand
She’s not in his world
He’s got different plans
She’s back here again
Bottle in her hand
Drunk and plays slow jams thinking where she went wrong
Found out from her friend the other day the guy she was with has now moved on
Weeks have passed and still she can’t take
Her mind off all of the heart ache
There’s no mending
She’s back on the defensive
Barricade up not feeling herself she’s been throwing up
Scared cos deep down she knows she’s still growing up
Woah
Feeling so negative
She takes a test and it says positive

So I don’t blame her
I don’t blame her, no

[Outro]
DSAW
We know what we want but you
Won’t let go and I’m confused
So please tell me so I can help you
From putting up a barrier
No, no
Your friends don’t know me like you do
Ignore them when they give you advice
Because they don’t have a clue
I understand you’ve got a barrier
No, no no
Cos when you let it down you always get let down
I know
There’s no need to have doubt cos Imma stick around
I think that I should make you know
But you can make up your mind
Make up your mind (x6)
But you can make up your mind
Make up your mind (x6)

So I don’t blame her
I don’t blame her, no
Cos when she lets it down she always gets let down
Gets let down
So I don’t blame her
I don’t blame her, no
Cos when she lets it down she always gets let down
