Ya, ya, ya, ya Choices, everybody make 'em and the Truth is, something I've been thinking 'bout Respect, you say I don't give you Maybe I don't know how Excuses, ooh, I got a lot of them Reasons, why I am the way I am Regret, you say I don't feel it Maybe I don't know how Man, it got so ugly (ugly) I was begging you to stay when you left our house Said you never loved me (loved me) Had me ducking all the venom flying out your mouth Ooh, closed your heart and you locked me out Ooh, took a beautiful love and I turned it out Every time I hear them talking 'bout you I wonder, did I play myself And sabotage love? Every time I think about me and you (know I ain't right) I wonder, did I play myself (when I think about it) And sabotage love? Mirrors, tryin' not to break 'em all Bad luck, seems like they're always falling Feelings, now I've gotta bury 'em And I don't know how Memories of us in picture frames Set a fire to 'em just to feed the pain How it got so ugly? (Ugly) I was begging you to stay when you left our house Said you never loved me (loved me) Had me ducking all the venom flying out your mouth Ooh, closed your heart and you locked me out Ooh, took a beautiful love and I turned it out Every time I hear them talking 'bout you (know I ain't right) I wonder did I play myself (when I think about it) And sabotage love? Every time I think about me and you (know I ain't right) I wonder, did I play myself (when I think about it) And sabotage love? Yeah, I'm often at it admittedly got a habit Of getting in my own way While I'm wishing that I could have it The picket fences and pictures of family And foreign fabrics, I know It'd be in front of me if I could only grasp it I want it, and so did you, 100 Was overdue, was runnin' You got the clue took warnings as feelings too I wanna get over you, but I can only blame myself Think it's time to put these feelings on the shelf For my health, yeah I'm not the best at containin' all my discretions I'm not a saint, but damn it if I don't come with confessions It's easy to block our blessings, mistakes are for learning lessons I used this shit as a letter, apologies to my exes, yeah Every time I hear them talking 'bout you (know I ain't right) I wonder, did I play myself (when I think about it) And sabotage love? Every time I think about me and you (know I ain't right) I wonder, did I play myself (when I think about it) And sabotage love? (Sabotage) Every time I hear them talking 'bout you Apologies to my exes I wonder, did I play myself? Apologies to my exes I used this shit as a letter Apologies to my exes Every time I think about me and you (oh) I wonder, did I play myself? Ah-ah-ah-ah
