[Verse 1]
No, I haven't seen you in a while
New vibe, new life, new style
I ain't even tryna get you riled
But it's better you're a stranger, better that we're strangers now
Tell me if you feel like being right
Tell me if you still gon' see my side
I ain't even tryna pick a fight
So if I don't see you later, I'm doing us a favor, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't fuck around with someone who hold me down
Only keep the real, real, real ones around
You didn't wanna swim but I didn't wanna drown
So if you got a problem
[Chorus]
You could cry me a river
But I'm begging to differ
You put my hand on the trigger
I know I cut you out my life but you gave me the scissors
It's all for the better
Baby, don't let it linger
Blame it on the truth, not the liquor
I know I cut you out my life but you gave me the scissors
But you gave me the scissors (Cut you out of my life)
Gave me the scissors
[Drop]
[Verse 2]
Keeping all the focus on what's next
Keep the past in the past, no stress
I don't need to fake a fucking flex
It's a mess right now, but I'm onto something better, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't fuck around with someone who hold me down
Only keep the real, real, real ones around
You didn't wanna swim but I didn't wanna drown
So if you got a problem
[Chorus]
You could cry me a river (Cry me a river)
But I'm begging to differ (Begging to differ)
You put my hand on the trigger (Hand on the trigger)
I know I cut you out my life but you gave me the scissors
It's all for the better (All for the better)
Baby, don't let it linger (Don't let it linger)
Blame it on the truth, not the liquor (Oh, oh)
I know I cut you out my life but you gave me the scissors
[Drop]
Gave me the scissors
(Gave me the scissors)
[Outro]
You could cry me
You could cry me
You could cry me
You could, you could cry me
I know I cut you out my life but you gave me the scissors
[Drop]
