(Chorus - Chase Farley)
I tried
I told myself to hell with it all but I lied
Ain't no playing off what I'm feeling inside
Cause I'll be sick for real if I leave
It's me for you and you for me
(x2)
(Verse 1 - LuKey D)
Knew it would never work
The relationship, it was already set to burn
We felt alone and settled for what we had so we never hurt
But we both ended up getting hurt
Both now forever hurt
Yet even though wе weren't compatible, wе tried again, did we never learn
So lets take a breather
You're not there when I need ya
But I'm not there when you need me, so why did I leave ya
Just to try all again and follow the same procedure
Where you do not want me and I don't want you either
But one thing that's definite
No matter how hard you try, the ending will always be negative
Nobody benefits
Since the beginning we were always tentative
Don't blame you for leaving the second time cause you gave me a taste of my own medicine
Never regretted the fact that I left but I always regretted the way that I ended it
(Chorus - Chase Farley)
I tried
I told myself to hell with it all but I lied
Ain't no playing off what I'm feeling inside
Cause I'll be sick for real if I leave
It's me for you and you for me
(x2)
(Verse 2 - LuKey D
Guess it was never to be
I could've been better to reach
Instead of hurting you further down the line, in that instinct it was better to leave
When I have issues I don't talk 'em out, I write them but that's a profession to me
We both did things wrong but ultimately, you deserved better than me
Now i'm stuck writing this hit
Questioning the life that I live
Call us Nintendo cause when it was 'we' I decided to switch
Don't know what the end goal is
Guess I got to get this off my chest
I'm glad that you're happy, I'm glad you moved on, I really wish you the best
(Chorus - Chase Farley)
I tried
I told myself to hell with it all but I lied
Ain't no playing off what I'm feeling inside
Cause I'll be sick for real if I leave
It's me for you and you for me
(x2)
