I've tried, and I've lied
To myself, to stop the tears
But it's been, to many years
And you keep doing the same thing
Making the same old promises
Before you play with my heart again
I'ma keep it one hundred, it's been on my mind
And before you get to lying

Let me tell you I'm sorry (sorry)
But I can't be here anymore (no no no)
Baby I'm sorry (sorry)
Not even love can make me stay another day
You're holding on to me, when I know we need to be free
I just need some time so I can breathe

You say you want me by your side, but you won't even try
To listen when I'm telling you the simple things
(Baby it's the simple things that matter in life)
I don't wanna fight you no more
I don't wanna waste no time
I'ma keep it one hundred, this been on my mind
So don't lie

I'm telling you I'm sorry (sorry)
But I can't be here anymore (no no no)
Baby I'm sorry (sorry)
Not even love can make me stay another day
You're holding on to me, when I know we need to be free
I just need some time so I can

Get back what you stole
Rebuild what you broke down
Won't be no more crying myself, to sleep
I'm over you
Time is over due
No need for another lie
Cause I made up my mind

Baby I'm sorry
I can't be here anymore (no no no)
I'm so sorry (sorry)
Not even love can make me stay another day
You're holding on to me when I know we need to be free
I just need some time so I, can breathe
