Been That Way - Bryson Tiller

He's the deflated balloon Wrapped round your gate Cut price to clear and past His sell by date He'll be the fool Running through the church yard Screaming out It's not too late And when he does I know that you'll wait He's the drunk man With bad breath coming on too strong But he's the beauty queen That strings your heart along And he'll answer Every question In your new age magazine wrong But I know you love him strong So I'm leaving For there's nothing to believe in I'm just grieving for a love I never knew Please don't go Misreading me I'm not saying You've been misleading me Just not needing me The way that I need you He's the elephant In the room that never speaks But you dream about him Every two weeks And I wouldn't know his name But you call it in your sleep Oh, I know You love him deep So run back to him Like you should I guess I always knew That you would For he's captured your heart In a way I never could So go on And love him good Oh, I'm leaving For there's nothing to believe in I'm just grieving for a love I never knew You're the book I can't stop reading I'm the stray cat You've been feeding But the tides They are receding now It's true Please don't go Misreading me I'm not saying You've been misleading me Just not needing me The way that I need you Just not needing me The way that I need you

Lipstick letter 'cross the mirror this morning Said good-bye baby, you left without warning Like a thief in the night you ran away with my heart I can't believe my eyes, must be a bad dream You always said we had a good thing You never once let on, we were falling apart That ain't no way to go Girl, it just ain't right Don't you think, that I deserve, to hear you say goodbye That ain't no way to go Was it all a lie After all this time that ain't no way to go Gettin' nowhere I'm tired of thinkin' Guess I'll do a little wishful drinkin' Make a whiskey wish upon a star Train whistle blowin' down the tracks Lonesome sound says she ain't comin' back It's such a cold blow from out of the dark That ain't no way to go Girl, it just ain't right Don't you think, that I deserve, to hear you say goodbye That ain't no way to go Now was it all a lie After all this time that ain't no way to go Now girl it just ain't right Don't you think, that I deserve, to hear you say goodbye That ain't no way to go Now was it all a lie After all this time that ain't no way to go

As nice as it sounds I don't wanna marry And live in a house A couple years later Where I would move out 'Cause I couldn't take it And cry to my mom 'Cause she did the same thing You're telling me plans You have for the future And I'm getting nervous I don't wanna do it I'm sorry to let you down But I'm scared to stick around Please don't tell your mom about me 'Cause I won't stay and I won't ever change Can't ever live in the way that you want me Please don't say you love me I am Sorry to say that I'll never get married Rather be dead than have somebody love me that way Hold me but not so tight I'm only here one night I won't be the love of your life I won't be what you had in mind And the walls were so thin It's hard not to listen Now I know what happens 'Cause I watched what everyone wants to have Fade to black So why would I wanna go through that Please don't tell your mom about me 'Cause I won't stay and I won't ever change Can't ever live in the way that you want me Please don't say you love me I am Sorry to say that I'll never get married Rather be dead than have somebody love me that way

Yeah-eah-eah You are my fire The one desire Believe when I say I want it that way But we are two worlds apart Can't reach to your heart When you say That I want it that way Tell me why Ain't nothin' but a heartache Tell me why Ain't nothin' but a mistake Tell me why I never wanna hear you say I want it that way Am I your fire? Your one desire Yes I know it's too late But I want it that way Tell me why Ain't nothin' but a heartache Tell me why Ain't nothin' but a mistake Tell me why I never wanna hear you say That I want it that way Now I can see that we've fallen apart From the way that it used to be, yeah No matter the distance I want you to know That deep down inside of me You are my fire The one desire You are, you are, you are Don't wanna hear you say Tell me why Ain't nothin' but a heartache Tell me why Ain't nothin' but a mistake Tell me why I never wanna hear you say I want it that way Tell me why Ain't nothin' but a mistake Tell me why I never wanna hear you say I want it that way 'Cause I want it that way

I don't want to go that way Anymore I don't want to go that way Anymore There's a darkness coming down Waiting at my door I don't want to go that way Anymore I don't want to walk that road Anymore I don't want to walk that road Anymore I don't see no lights I don't hear no call I don't want to walk that road Anymore Turn me to your song Turn me to your door I don't want to go that way Anymore Anymore Anymore Anymore

فوسط زحمة وناس كتير وطريق أنا ماشي فيه عكس السير وسط الطموح والأمل والتمني فاضلي خطوة توصلني فوسط حاجات ومكيفات بحاول أنسى كل اللي فات في وسط صدري ضلعي مكسور ومن خلاله قلبي شايف نور أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع فوسط الليل وأنا بعيد عن البشر شفت نور يشبه نور القمر بس القمر مسيره يفارق ويسيبني تاني مع الوحدة أحارب فوسط قصة حب يعني وهمية كان لازم أصدق اصل الوحدة قوية مش كل المشاعر حقيقية أنا شفت نور معرفتش اغمض عنيا أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع
