**[Intro]** Yeah… Ayo, sometimes love turn to war, you feel me? Late night thoughts, liquor talk, broken dreams I ain’t blamin’ you… nah… This one on me Listen… **[Verse 1]** I gave you passion mixed with pain, that’s a toxic blend Told you “ride or die,” but I ain’t know how to be a man Jealousy and pride had me trippin’ over nothin’ Accusin’ you of lies while my own soul was corrupted Late nights, phone fights, hang-ups and regret Screamin’ “you don’t love me” but I ain’t show respect Every time you cried, I just turned into stone Had you feelin’ lonely while you layin’ in my home I was chasin’ demons, you was chasin’ me Tryna build a future, I was stuck in the streets Heart full of anger, mind full of scars Took it out on you instead of lookin’ at my flaws Now I see clearer through the smoke and the pain You deserved sunshine, I was bringin’ the rain If I kept you close, I’d just break you again So I’m lettin’ go before I lose you as a friend **[Chorus – Male R&B hook]** Girl, it’s not you, it’s me, I’m fightin’ my own war Tryna love you right but I don’t know what for Every time you touch me, I just push you away I don’t wanna hurt you, but I do anyway It’s not you, it’s me, yeah I’m broken inside Got some demons in me that I just can’t hide You deserve better, yeah I finally see So I’m walkin’ away… it’s not you, it’s me **[Verse 2]** Remember first time, you said I made you feel safe Now I’m the same reason tears run down your face Used to hold you close, whisper dreams in your ear Now we barely talk, just silence and fear I was selfish with your love, took it all for granted You was plantin’ seeds, I was out here burnin’ planets Couldn’t trust myself, so I questioned your loyalty Turned a queen to a stranger, that shit destroy me You gave me chances, I wasted every one Like a loaded gun, always ready to run I was scared of love, never said it out loud So I hid behind anger, actin’ hard, actin’ proud But the truth is… I ain’t worthy of your heart Every time we healed, I’d just tear it apart If I stay, I’ma drag you through the dirt with me So I’m cuttin’ ties ‘fore you drown in my misery **[Chorus – Male R&B hook]** Girl, it’s not you, it’s me, I’m fightin’ my own war Tryna love you right but I don’t know what for Every time you touch me, I just push you away I don’t wanna hurt you, but I do anyway It’s not you, it’s me, yeah I’m broken inside Got some demons in me that I just can’t hide You deserve better, yeah I finally see So I’m walkin’ away… it’s not you, it’s me **[Verse 3]** Maybe one day I’ma look you in your eyes again Prayin’ by that time I done made some amends Tryna fix myself, put the pieces in place Instead of runnin’ from the mirror, I’ma face my mistakes You was heaven-sent, I was hell-bound Turned your smiles upside down into a frown And I hate that, can’t erase that All the nights you cried, wish I could take that back But I can’t… so I write this as goodbye With a tear in my eye, watchin’ real love die If I stayed, I’d destroy every good thing we built So I’m leavin’ with this heavy-ass guilt Don’t wait for me, girl, go live your life free Find somebody who can love you completely And if you ever think about what we used to be Just remember these words… it was never you, it was me **[Chorus – Male R&B hook]** Girl, it’s not you, it’s me, I’m fightin’ my own war Tryna love you right but I don’t know what for Every time you touch me, I just push you away I don’t wanna hurt you, but I do anyway It’s not you, it’s me, yeah I’m broken inside Got some demons in me that I just can’t hide You deserve better, yeah I finally see So I’m walkin’ away… it’s not you, it’s me **[Outro]** Yeah… Sometimes love ain’t enough when you don’t love yourself Had to learn that the hard way No hard feelings… just real truth You gon’ shine without me Stay strong… I’m gone.
