I Hope You Understand

[Chorus]
I hope you understand
That I'm just being honest
And baby if you were my man we can stay in contact
But I had to make amends 'cause I don't see progress
'Cause if I had to let you go
I probably should've let you know

[Verse 1]
We don't have to wait on things that are not meant for us
And we don't have to play pretend, 'cause we don't feel the rush
And I don't wanna lie to you 'cause I'm seeing someone else
And I ain't got the time to do things that make no sense
And I think that it's only fair
'Cause I know you're never there
'Cause could it be you're not for me?
You don't need my company
I don't think we were meant to be 'cause
Suddenly you were very distant
Who am I to be tellin' you how to feel?

[Chorus]
I hope you understand
That I'm just being honest
And baby if you were my man we can stay in contact
But I had to make amends 'cause I don't see progress
'Cause if I had to let you go
I probably should've let you know

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
And I can only speak for myself when I said I did no wrongs
Could've maybe given you time but I, thought I did my part
Baby, baby, baby, baby
Cut me off some slack
'Cause I know I could do better
But damn you did me bad
You can only speak for yourself
When you said you did no wrong, could've maybe given me time
But I, thought I did my part
And baby, baby, baby, baby
Cut me off some slack
'Cause I know I could do better
But damn you did me bad

[Chorus]
I hope you understand
That I'm just being honest
And baby if you were my man we can stay in contact
But I had to make amends 'cause I don't see progress
'Cause if I had to let you go
I probably should've let you know
I hope you understand
That I'm just being honest
And baby if you were my man we can stay in contact
But I had to make amends 'cause I don't see progress
'Cause if I had to let you go
I probably should've let you know
