Book Club - Left Boy

Remember our book club?

Yeah

With Yves Saint Laurent

The first and the last book we started on?

Yeah

We used to spend our days and our eves on the phone

First date and we both rocking Louis Vuittons?

Yeah

I don’t know about this chick

'Cause I’m still heartbroken from this motherfucking bitch

Who made me feel like I was never really worth shit

So you must be dumb if you’re interested, right?

Yeah, you must be a fool

If you fall in love with me and I’m a goddamn loser

So I abused her

Four years later and I lose her

Goddamn, I’ve been distracted for years

This the first time that I see things clear

Looking back, covering my MacBook in tears

'Cause you did so much and I just didn’t care

Well, that’s how things go

When you only learn on the long way home

I lo-love you girl, but I know, know, know

That you’re happy now, so I let it go

Well, that’s how things go

When you only learn on the long way home

I lo-love you girl, but I know, know, know

That you’re happy now, so I let it go

They say it hurts like a bitch

But I swear a bitch never fucking hurt like this

But I use the pain to change

And the music to express what I can’t say

Remember back in the day

At the club, in the line, when you first said «Hey»

You said you were a fan of my grandma

You love the part where she plays with the camera

Now she’s telling me she regrets it ever happened

She wish she would’ve spent those years with someone else

And kept her confidence, 'cause she used to be

So secure and sure of what she does and needs

Yeah, it hurts to hear, but I know it ain’t true

'Cause this boy right here’s «half me», «half you»

I know there’s purpose for what we’ve been through

Even if you don’t see it right now, I do

Well, that’s how things go

When you only learn on the long way home

I lo-love you girl, but I know, know, know

That you’re happy now, so I let it go

Well, that’s how things go

When you only learn on the long way home

I lo-love you girl, but I know, know, know

That you’re happy now, so I let it go

Hit me with it one more time
