Are We Through
PART 3 OF 13 • LOVE ME BACK
So tell me, are we really through
I'm posted in the living room, gaming with the boys
Then you walk in talking, raising up your voice
Saying you want better, saying that you're fed up
Telling me you want me, but you want me to step up
I feel like you just wanna fight, and tell me I'm not good enough
You always overlook all the stuff I gave up
You didn't like it when I hooped to have some friends over too
If I wasn't with you, you didn't like what I would do
You complained about the gym, you said, look, you're gone again
So I had to quit that, but then I started getting big
Quit my job to stay at home so I could take care of the kids
So you could chase a dream while I was stuck here in the crib
Now you look me in my face like somehow I'm still not enough
All the pieces of myself I drop for you don't measure up
If You don't wanna be with me no more, then fuck it, I can leave
See, now you got me saying things I don't really mean
You walk away, and I wonder if I said the wrong thing
We done fought a million times, it always ends the same
So I didn't think too much of it
Why would this time really change
So tell me, are we really through
Is this the one that really matters to you
Cause I'm so used to the fights we get into
It seems to be the only thing we do
So tell me, are we really through
Cause it was just another fight to me
And no matter how many times we fight
It don't make me ever wanna leave
So tell me, are we really through
A few days pass and you've been different ever since
I try to apologize, but it's always so intense
We've been stuck inside routines, doing the same thing
I just figured we would be okay eventually
So I told myself that it's just the phase
But you don't smile at me when we're face to face
We're talking less and less like every day is our last day
I always make sure to say I love you before you walk away
But then you look at me and you don't say it back
I can't lie, feels like the end is where we're at
So tell me, are we really through
Is this the one that really matters to you
Cause I'm so used to the fights we get into
It seems to be the only thing we do
So tell me, are we really through
Cause it was just another fight to me
And no matter how many times we fight
It don't make me ever wanna leave
So tell me, are we really through
I can see it in your eyes
You don't see the sacrifices that I make behind the lines
If you're already gone, why am I still here
Trying to prove
All the parts of me I gave up just to stay in love with you
You say that you're exhausted
And I'm mad you can't see through
Everything I laid down for you
So tell me, are we really through
Is this the one that really matters to you
Cause I'm so used to the fights we get into
It seems to be the only thing we do
So tell me, are we really through
Cause it was just another fight to me
And no matter how many times we fight
It don't make me ever wanna leave
So tell me, are we really through
