Uh I know my lovers gunna feel me [Verse] I said Funny how things work out with first loves Remember things from first kisses to first hugs Reminiscing what we missing, maybe it's just tradition We strengthened lovers vision, getting closer through our distance But then it all unfolded, we played the fools Going back and forth, second chances gave a few Friends always comparing another's moves Had our own thing hate when they compared us too Cause some wanted Ye and Kim, others wanted Jay and Bey Obama and Michelle, I just wanted you and me Heart knowing I should leave, mind wanting me to stay Between the two chose wrong and I was left astray A young love so confused thought you'd be there through the thick Put me in the slums and I couldn't climb the pits I couldn't breathe, I couldn't eat, I couldn't sleep Homies screaming "get a life" not understanding you was it Im smooth though [Hook] Said I know you long gone But at times when Im alone I catch.. Catch some midnight memories Of our midnight memories I know you long gone But at times when Im alone I catch.. Catch some midnight memories Of our midnight memories [Verse 2] May have lost you yea, but still a winner I always kept it cool during the winter We made a joke out of the pretenders Are reigns in the ranks Our biggest problem we ain't account for all the littlest things Like our minute phone calls, smileys through the text Defending one another, letting love heal the stress Somewhere down the line we lost track of each other Felt the guilt in our hearts but couldn't get it off our chest
We lied cause at times the truth hurt us too Trynna forget that we did what the scandalous do Forgiveness is only welcome when that story from you Can be opaque for so long til that light seep through We had started to believe in the phony tendencies Cause what seemed legit to me was our promising dream But you became the one I couldn't have And Ironically, I always felt the one I couldn't haves The one I need, Im smooth though [Hook] [Verse 3] But I'm smooth though I got better with time, it's been some years you still tickle my mind I still catch flashes, of what we couldve been I still catch flashes, of what you prolly did with them That ain't none of my business but is it? I mean I taught you that You know everything you doing girl I taught you that I mean I'm doing my thing, but the feeling ain't the same So I admit it many times yes I want you back Remember times I was the cure to your afflictions Asked to me come over I would be there in some minutes I had me climbing through your window just to get into your cribess Let a n***a sleepover disrespecting mommy wishes I remember all it vivid, fighting in your bed Know I put it down, dreamed peaceful when you slept Those that really understand know what I'm saying next Cause you know that sh** is real disregarding morning breath Stevie Wonder accepts the fact he wasn't meant to see I've learned to accept that you aren't here with me To justify we say it, that is "wasn't meant to be" Could've made it "meant to be" We just chose it differently Im smooth though [Hook]
