(Chorus)
Can't you see I'm tryin?
I'm giving you all I've got.
(Verse 1)
..Well, this is well overdue.
..So long, this became the elephant's room.
Obsessed ever since I said hello to you,
and.. then, I kinda got led on,
so I went head-on
into traffic.
Headlights did blind 'til we crashed, and..
not an accident from your end.
Girl, I think you wanted me flipped
.. you seem a lot happier ever since,
and..
in an instance,
you forget it
'cause I wasn't yours to begin with
in your eyes.
And it tore my heart out.
You must be a sadist.
A predator, I'm the prey, and
you weren't even hungry.
Scratch that, I was nothing.
You just wanted to remind me.
Guess I'm finding
out the hard way that
love is really just a concept. Ah, yes. I guess.
(Chorus)
Can't you see I'm tryin?
I'm giving you all I've got.
Am I never worth it?
What else should I give up?
(Verse 2: C-Kid)
Like a mine, it blows my mind
that I'm never on yours, but you're always on mine.
Love; it is but a concept,
engaging the lust like sexual combat.
Can't you see I gave you my all?
Wanna give you the world, but you're never around.
Constantly texting and always I call.
Never cared about me; just your friends and the mall.
Only care for material things
Not about me or the love that I bring.
I'd call you a B, but I know it would sting,
But girl, if you left, I'd be in my feelings.
Damn, I tried to be everything I could be,
but see, love is a lesson, but you are the student and I cannot teach.
(Chorus)
Can't you see I'm tryin?
I'm giving you all I've got.
Am I never worth it?
What else should I give up?
There's nothing left to give you.
The last bit of me is gone.
