Why Couldn't You? Lyrics

Why couldn't you, take a step back?

Why couldn't you, take a second to think?

Why couldn't you, love me like you said, like you said

Why did you, take a step too far?What if i knew this wouldn't last too long?

I guess it's true what we had wasn't strong

I could tell that you grew but not enough to say you're wrong

Fuck what we had man it's time for some new shit

Tired of playing myself girl that's what the truth is

You just wasn't worth the wait

I loved your body, your face

Personality sent that shit spiraling it's not your best trait, no it's not your best trait

Swear you're misunderstood, all this extra shit was useless

Started arguments you always had to win

Why'd you have to be like that?

I still remember your soft lips

kissing up in your apartment

The way you be riding up on me just like a beat, you'd think she's an artist

It could have stayed that way

You just had to get in your own way

Taking advice from all your friends, they don't know you like i did

There's no point in fighting, no point in fighting

You'll never admit that shit if you did it's like a ghost sighting

I try to tell you all the real, now i'm a liar and you so honest?

I know to call bullshit when you say you promise

Every time i try to fix things, you push me away

Only your issues deserved any time of day

Hated that i had to appease you just to keep these fights at bay

Oh, everything's a joke with you with how you keep on lying

Sometimes i wonder why i even keep on trying

Pretty face, a kiss of death it'll leave you crying all you had to do was try but yellings so damn tiring

Why couldn't you, take a step back

Why couldn't you, take a second to think?

Why couldn't you, love me like you said, like you said

Why did you, take a step too far?

What if i knew this wouldn't last too long?

I guess it's true what we had wasn't strong

I could tell you grew but not enough to say your wrongs
