I.Y.M. Lyrics

Listen (If you really mean)

There ain't no such thing as artists being a tortured soul (what you say you mean)

See because in my experience it ain't nothing you could do to me

That I ain't already tried or successfully done to myself (if you mean what you say you mean)

That's the cliche

While I hide behind all this ice and my protection

Only you can melt my heart to make me show you this affection

I know it's wrong for me to act like I'm the blessing

I had you stressing over problems of location and direction

I saw you as the beauty in my shadowy reflection

Now I'm pressing buttons hoping I don't gotta learn this lesson

As a man I don't question what I gather from impressions

But your aura force submission and I quickly saw conception

Won't scare you with aggression but our goals and thoughts is meshing

In a form that gave me so much more than simply just erections

To think before you show me stories I could never dream would be our legend

And if you feel the need to part with this connection I won't blame you

Since I no longer feel your energy let this simple symphony be my confession

I refuse to lose these feelings to a step-in

So I give to you my beating heart till it is arrested

If you really mean what you say you mean

Baby I can go I'll just take my leave

But if you want me to to stay to stay to stay (If you want me to stay)

Then I'll stay till the day the last damn day

Now if I drown at the bottom of this bottle

I could never teach our baby how to swim or be her role model

Glass necks I feel the need to throttle Cut the palms

I should be using to keep your love coddled or guide Lil Z's waddle

The future that you promised all I had to do was hold on

I don't want to be the Papa stone that grabbed his hat and rolled on

The sparkle in your eyes keeps begging me to stay but the devil on my shoulder pulls me to run away

Plus my mind is afraid If you mean for me to leave

I can grant you back your peace and finally let you grieve

If you mean it when you say that maybe I should stay

I will plant my roots so deep no hurricane could sweep away

I done broke my own heart with my distrust

Felt burnt by the sunshine you helped me touch

So even if it's best that you leave me there

I'ma always keep your name in my daily prayer

IYM IYM IYM IYM

But I can't figure out why I am the way I am the way I am

If you really mean what you say you mean (what you mean baby)

Baby I can go I'll just take my leave (I don't take no hints)

But if you want me to to stay to stay to stay (If you want me to stay)

Then I'll stay (Say Something) till the day the last damn day

(Yeah take em to church Bubba) I really miss you though
