I’ll Never Be Loved

[Verse 1: Travie McCoy]
Baby, this the last time, I promise
I know I promised last time, but now I'm bein' honest
You the one that said that the past was behind us
But how we gon' move forward if we keep draggin' it around with a slight line?
And you've heard this all before, I know, I know
But I'm sick and tired of sleepin' on the floor, it's cold
I'm beggin' you for one more chance, sweetheart
I'm done with my chemical romance
And it's been eight weeks
I'm clean, I'm sober
All the lyin' and cheatin' is done, it's over
And all I wanted was your warm embrace
But all I keep gettin' is cold shoulders
And I don't blame you, shit, I'd do thе same, too
If I was in your shoes and had to deal with what you'rе goin' through
And all your friends tried to warn you not to take a chance with me
You wanted Johnny and June, I gave you that Sid and Nancy, I'm sorry

[Chorus: Hamzaa]
I will see you in the morning
If you promise that you'd hold me
No, I won't go down, I won't go down
I won't go down like that
If I have to keep the light on
Just to make it through the night
No, I won't go down, I won't go down
I won't go down like that

[Post-Chorus: Hamzaa]
I fear I'll never be loved
I fear I'll never be loved
I fear I'll never be loved
I feel, I feel

[Verse 2: Travie McCoy]
And you were there for me at my darkest
Held my hand when I was walkin' blind through the darkness
Kick it, cold turkey, never once left my apartment
Girl, you hold me down, I can't imagine life without you around
And now the camel's back has been broken
With the same straw that I used to blow dope with
Depressed, my head's a mess and I don't think that I can cope with
The fact that you're leavin'
Sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll, this shit is so deceivin'
It's all fun and games at first until somebody you love gets hurt
And that's when it hurts
And that's when you call
When I was two seconds away from endin' it all
Three and a half pints down on a tour bus in Norway
In the back lounge, starin' at Heaven's doorway
Then I got a phone call and all I saw was your face
No one on this Earth can ever, ever take your place
I love you (I love you)

[Chorus: Hamzaa]
I will see you in the morning
If you promise that you'd hold me
No, I won't go down, I won't go down
I won't go down like that
If I have to keep the light on (Keep the light on)
Just to make it through the night
No, I won't go down, I won't go down
I won't go down like that (No)

[Post-Chorus: Hamzaa]
I fear I'll never be loved (I fear I'll never be loved)
I fear I'll never be loved (I fear I'll never be loved)
I fear I'll never be loved
I feel, I feel

[Verse 3: Travie McCoy]
And here I go again, tryna fix it with a song
I thought I had my shit together, I was obviously wrong
The last time you left me, you were right, I should've known
When I was sittin' in that Brooklyn basement cold and all alone
And I cried until my tear ducts dried up, no, really
Swimmin' laps in an Olympic-sized pool of self-pity
And I probably hold the record in the Guinness book for most bridges burned
That this gasoline smell's makin' me dizzy
But on a lighter note, put this in the liner notes
I know you had enough and there's absolutely no sign of hope
Or any kind of future between you and I
If I should die tomorrow, just know this wasn't a lie
Cross my heart and hope to live for a few more
The worst part is you were who I used to live for
And now I'm livin' for me
Wherever you're at, I just hope you're happy, thanks for listenin'

[Outro: Bessie Smith]
Nobody knows
When you're down and out
