Opened My Eyes
[VERSE 1:]
I guess I’d been knew
This man was in you
Didn’t believe it
Nah, I didn’t wanna see it in you
The way you played me
The way you’d shade me
Thought we was grown
Showed your ass
Man, I should’ve known
What’s the point of lying?
Saying how much you were
Down to keep on trying?
From the get, it was a different type of talk
A different type of walk
I was never enough for you
Never too much for you
I gave so much fucking love to you
Unconditionally
I was stupid, you see
Guess I was nothing but a toy to you
But I played the game
‘Cause I loved the pain, man
[PRE-CHORUS:]
You wasn’t ready for a nigga like me
You wasn’t ready for a love like mine
I guess you never did belong to me
But for you I used to lay it all on the line
[CHORUS:]
Now I don’t ask
Now I don’t wonder
If it was all on me
You’re in the past
Buried you under
You should’ve held on tight to me
I’m on my way
To brighter days
‘Cause I’m a prize
Opened my eyes
[VERSE 2:]
Even from the start, you
Were always careless with my heart, you
Made me believe you was down for the ride
Like you was never gonna leave my side
Remember when I flew us out to LA
Was a surprise for the two of our birthdays
Hit up your job on some,
“Get him some time off.”
Bought us the tickets,
We was dipping out the drop-off
Come to find out a month before
Your ass was on that dating app, for sure
Looking for some dick on the weekend
All because I didn’t visit every weekend
[PRE-CHORUS:]
You wasn’t ready for a nigga like me
You wasn’t ready for a love like mine
I guess you never did belong to me
But for you I used to lay it all on the line
[CHORUS:]
Now I don’t ask
Now I don’t wonder
If it was all on me
You’re in the past
Buried you under
You should’ve held on tight to me
I’m on my way
To brighter days
‘Cause I’m a prize
Opened my eyes
[VERSE 3:]
Now see, the hardest thing for me
Was letting go
Spit in my face and what we were
I let you though
Manipulation
The accusations
Through the addition
Passive agression
The pills you take to forget about me
They’ll never make you feel the way that I did
Still don’t believe you ever loved me
But the idea that somebody like me ever did
Love you
I knew how much you didn’t love you
And everything that you put me through
I guess I’m finally over you
[PRE-CHORUS:]
You wasn’t ready for a nigga like me
You wasn’t ready for a love like mine
I guess you never did belong to me
But for you I used to lay it all on the line
