[Intro: AJ Tracey]
Traceo, woo
[Verse 1: Mahalia]
Damn, I'm really hurtin'
Boy, you got me hurtin'
I feel it in my chest, yeah, I feel it in my chest and it's burnin'
Got me thinkin', "Is it really worth it?," no
What did I do to make you do me like that?
So confused, felt like a fool, no
I never knew it would be you to leave me in the blue
But I guess it's too, too bad
What a shame, I never saw you like that
Didn't see it comin', but it happened real fast
Too bad, too bad
[Chorus: Mahalia]
That you left me, left me, left me on the roadside
When you kept me waitin' on you all night
I never knew you'd be a heartbreaker (Heartbreaker)
I'm done with your fake love (Your fake love)
You left me, left without a goodbye
But I really thought you was a good guy
I should've known you was a heartbreaker (Heartbreaker)
I'm done with your fake love (Fake)
Love, love, love, love
[Verse 2: AJ Tracey, Mahalia, AJ Tracey & Mahalia]
Look, look, look (Tracey)
I was down bad about a week ago (Trust that)
I went the messy route, I had to take a deeper road (Facts)
You might not feel it straight away, but it's a creeper though (Yeah)
She got me fiendin', that's a body I can't leave alone (On God)
You saw a snap of me abroad and now you're mad at me (Uh)
'Cause I'm with women that can hang out in the gallery (Mwah)
And I'm impressive from the bedroom to my salary
Let me hit, I'll make your eyes water like an allergy (On God)
I love her temper, temperature of an ember (Ooh)
You hustle like you mean it, December until December (Facts)
I know your love's exclusive, I'm lookin' to be a member (Yeah)
Playin' with your feelings was never on my agenda (Yeah)
Baby, if I bite you, would you bite me back? (Yeah)
If I invite you to my place, would you invite me back?(Would you?)
Can we pick up in the Rolls? I'm tryna light a pack
'Cause you're the reason I go studio to write this track
[Chorus: Mahalia]
But you left me, left me, left me on the roadside
When you kept me waitin' on you all night
I never knew you'd be a heartbreaker (Heartbreaker)
I'm done with your fake love (Your fake love)
You left me, left without a goodbye
But I really thought you was a good guy
I should've known you was a heartbreaker (Heartbreaker)
I'm done with your fake love (Fake)
Love, love, love
[Bridge: Mahalia]
Baby, please, don't bother me (Nah)
You had me weak, but now I see
'Cause I'm done with all your lies (All your lies)
You can watch me say goodbye
And when you're layin' alone in your bed
I'm the one that you'll never forget
So you can stay there with all your regrets tonight
[Chorus: Mahalia]
'Cause you left me, left me, left me on the roadside (On the roadside)
When you kept me waitin' on you all night (You kept me waitin', baby)
I never knew you'd be a heartbreaker (Heartbreaker)
I'm done with your fake love (Your fake love)
You left me, left without a goodbye
But I really thought you was a good guy
I should've known you was a heartbreaker (Heartbreaker)
I'm done with your fake love (I'm done with your fake)
Love, love, love (Uh)
[Outro: Mahalia]
Fake love (I didn't know, I didn't know, I didn't know)
Love, love, love
(Love, love, love, love, love, love)
Roadside was produced by Keven Wolfsohn & KAMILLE.
I’ve kinda been excited about releasing this one since I started writing it. Fresh out of a breakup, I made this one with The Elements and two of my favourite girls and songwriters Abby (Absolutely) and Kamille. We had so much fun writing and making this together. Getting AJ on it was the cherry on...
