[Verse 1: Ravyn Lenae]
Called me on my birthday
I thought you'd be on your way, oh
Candles burned down to the cake
Still not seeing your face
[Pre-Chorus: Ravyn Lenae]
I can't spend this one wish on you
Ooh, woo-ooh, woo-ooh
Hoo, woo-ooh, ooh, woo-ooh, woo-hoo, hoo
[Chorus: Ravyn Lenae]
I can't forgive you
No matter how hard I try
I can't forget you
[Verse 2: Ravyn Lenae]
If promises are gonna break
Why promise in the first place?
Running low on lemonade
Crying over paper plates
[Pre-Chorus: Ravyn Lenae]
I can't spend this one wish on you
Ooh, woo-ooh, woo-ooh
Hoo, woo-ooh, ooh, woo-ooh, woo-hoo, hoo
[Chorus: Ravyn Lenae]
I can't forgive you
No matter how hard I try
I wanna love you, ooh
[Verse 3: Childish Gambino]
Tried to go out of my way
But couldn't find the words to say
Left a message with your mama
Oh, she gave me drama
I hope that your one wish does come true
I miss you
[Pre-Chorus: Ravyn Lenae]
I can't spеnd this one wish on you
Ooh, woo-ooh, woo-ooh
Hoo, woo-ooh, ooh, woo-ooh, woo-hoo, hoo
[Chorus: Ravyn Lenae]
I can't forgive you
No matter how hard I try
I can't forgеt you
And I can't hate you
No matter how hard I try
I just pretend to
