about

The reason I love this track so much is A) because it has that freestyle feel to it reminiscent of Stevie B and I love that sound and B) With the exception of the strings on the hook and 2 of the synths I produced this song entirely on my Ipad and love how it turned out! Shot out to the homey Marty JayR for adding that westcoast flair to it! ...Besides how it sounds I really like the story this song tells all I can say is it's inspired by true events but I'm gonna leave it at that.

lyrics

Verse 1

Lovin you was involuntary
like breathin Oxy-gen
you were more than a hole in a belt
that I put my not-ches in
I'm walkin around with my eyes wide shut
cuz I wasn't conscious then
I wanted to run free with our love
and you tried to box us in
that didn't last I got claustrophobic
we didn't work out we were not aerobic
chapters over I had to close it
it wasn't my fault girl I can't control it
so I guess
I'm letting you know
I love you but I gotta let you go
sending you my love with an X and a O
you were the one that I would give up everything for
in a different life

HOOK

Every time I think I don't need ya
then I turn around and I see ya
and it's like I catch a little amnesia
girl I just can't let ya go
I can't let you go

Like I really don't remember it's over
I know that we already had closure
but everytime I get a little un-sober
I think I just can't let you go
I can't let you go

VERSE 2

You were mine
now you're his
I hate it, but that's just how it is
because we disagree when it comes to kids
and you don't hate me you just hate the biz
so I guess
I'm letting you know
I love you but I gotta let you go
sending you my love XXX and a O
you were that one that I would give up everything for
in a different circumstance
girl I woulda been your perfect man
I woulda put the ring on your perfect hand
but you couldn't wait and that hurt your chan-ces
and now I got this success
brand new crib and a new address
girl just think that you could had this
just think you coulda had this
but you missed out

HOOK

Bridge

No good love
good luck
I've been a fish outta water since we hooked up
can't believe
that I really could be
with somebody that so easy to leave
but its all braille
how I feel
and I don't see you cuz its all real
stuntin like I don't feel nothin
don't even be on me
callin my phone
tellin me all that you've done
I'm totally gone
I'm letting you go

there's no lovin
no no no lovin you now
no lovin
regret the day when you went away
no lovin
no no no lovin you now
no lovin you had your chance now all I can sayyy
