Lyrics

I’m-a find somebody to hold close,
(without you)
and love each other ’till we’re old folks.
(without you)
Let love guide the tough times,
(without you)
and feeling no more pain when I think about you.

Never thought the best of me was something that you’d take for granted.
and putting you before me was just something that became a habit.

I’d jump when you want like a silly rabbit
and looking back on it now is still a bit traumatic.
Cuz in my mind I went all out and raised the bar for loving
ain’t nothing worse than finding out that it was all for nothing. … I …

Did my best to give you all my time, attention, even money.
Never hesitated, I gave anything you needed from me.

I thought you needed love - that I’d demonstrate
every time I cleaned up another mess you made.
I stayed dedicated to perpetuating
letting you keep treating me like a 2nd rate thing.

You would always turn to me when you were feeling under pressure.
Everyone around us knew that you and I had something special.

Late nights on the couch with your favorite shows,
I always wanted you to know you have a place to go
when this life hurts you and you need to heal.
Started to feel that what I feel needed to be revealed. …But still

I was always lost trying to find the words to say exactly.
Didn’t know if what I had to offer you would make you happy.

I gave you so many chances to try again
and you just ghosted me, so que te vaya bien.

mama never told me…
mama never told me…

Mama never told me they could be so cold.
Saw the best in you, but even so
I should have been said goodbye years ago
and let the tears just flow. … so here we go

Mama never told me they could be so cold.
Saw the best in you, but even so
I should have been said goodbye years ago
and let the tears just flow. … now here we go

I’m-a find somebody to hold close,
(without you)
and love each other ’till we’re old folks.
(without you)
Let love guide the tough times,
(without you)
and feeling no more pain when I think about you.

I’m-a find somebody to hold close,
(without you)
and love each other ’till we’re old folks.
(without you)
Let love guide the tough times,
(without you)
and feeling no more pain when I think about you.

Once upon a time, the thought of you and I was quite appealing.
Every day I gave it my best, but I couldn’t fight the feeling.

Then I finally tried to tell you and you tore out my heart
and left it by the curb. So in my ties & shirts
I lit both ends of the candle, kept my mind at work
and didn’t show nobody pain, but deep inside - it hurt. And I …

never would have gave so much if I didn’t think that you were worth it.
I wanted to share my life with you, I know it wasn’t perfect.

I can’t believe it took me so long to see the truth,
cuz on God, I really thought it would be me and you.
Forever you and I, and my big regret
is that I let you get away with all that disrespect. Can’t believe I …

broke every rule for you, my self-respect was next to nothing.
And if you didn’t feel the same, you could have just said something.

I would always hear you out, and so the greatest shame
is that you could have just told me without playing games
or misplacing blame. And then you chose to hide
behind “I’ve got a lot going on”. Well, so did I.

I would hold you in these arms and wonder “How’d I get so lucky?”
Wish I knew back then what I know now, that you would never love me.

More generous than I could afford to be.
Nobody but your own fam loved you more than me.

mama never told me…
mama never told me…

Mama never told me they could be so cold.
Saw the best in you, but even so
I should have been said goodbye years ago
and let the tears just flow. … so here we go

Mama never told me they could be so cold.
Saw the best in you, but even so
I should have been said goodbye years ago
and let the tears just flow. … now here we go

I’m-a find somebody to hold close,
(without you)
and love each other ’till we’re old folks.
(without you)
Let love guide the tough times,
(without you)
and feeling no more pain when I think about you.

I’m-a find somebody to hold close,
(without you)
and love each other ’till we’re old folks.
(without you)
Let love guide the tough times,
(without you)
and feeling no more pain when I think about you.

Where were you when I was spiraling down and out?
You were nowhere to be found
You had your chance

Mama never told me they could be so cold.
Saw the best in you, but even so
I should have been said goodbye years ago
and let the tears just flow. … so here we go

Mama never told me they could be so cold.
Saw the best in you, but even so
I should have been said goodbye years ago
and let the tears just flow. … so here we go

I’m-a find somebody to hold close,
(without you)
and love each other ’till we’re old folks.
(without you)
Let love guide the tough times,

and feeling no more pain when I think about you.

I’m-a find somebody to hold close,

Que te vaya bien.
