I'm a man, I'm simple knowledge
Yeah, she's a woman that's prone to violence
Used to be something beautiful, red flags regardless
And love used to be a vehicle
But now there's too much mileage
So please, forgive me
'Cause I never meant to hurt your daughter
But all the real aching
She's using everything you taught her
And this lyric is a miracle
And a blessing and a problem
This lyric is a miracle
And a blessing and a problem

And all I'm tryna say is we got options
Baby, all I'm saying is we got options
Red or green, so what's it gonna be?
'Cause I never been a fan of running
That's worth the pain, but baby, we'll see
But you could never see the future coming
Girl, I'm just thinking about our options
Girl, I'm just thinking about our options
Hold up

So far gone, I'm barely breathing
She's holding on, guess she's got her reasons
It really hurts to see what we've become
And that's why I'm leaving
Betrayed all the good we've ever done, in one-single evening
So please, forgive me
'Cause I'd never wanna hurt my daughter
But all the real aching
You hurt more than I ever thought you could
And this lyric is a miracle
And a blessing, not a problem
This lyric is a miracle
And a blessing, not a problem

I can't believe that I said that we had options
I never should've said we had options
Red or green, so what's it gonna be
'Cause I never been fan of running
That's worth the pain, but baby, we'll see
But you could never see the future coming

So lady, taking life is not an option
Oh no, lady taking life is not an option, oh no, no, no baby
Red or green, so what's it gonna be
'Cause I never been fan of running
That's worth the pain, but baby, we'll see
But you could never see the future coming
So girl, I'm just thinking about our options
