Lyrics
the life we know
----------------
[Verse 1]
you come into my world, unexpected
you take one look at my soul, reflected
of a life you once rejected
now taken, i'm a brand new guy in a familiar outfit,
so you've fallen all over again, takin me with you,
for all the wrong reasons
but this is what you wanna do
to take me out the blue, i thought it was new
not knowing it was a glue, you still had to undo
what am i to do, i'm falling for you too
by your beauty, so pretty, and sinful, suspenseful.
an angel from above, to be loved, and to love is to be loved back,
but it was black, how we lack, in the love and the passion,
and the trouble that we passin, growin into an everlastin,
silence and deceits, now your life repeats, and heart so incomplete.
so we finally took our seats, to end it all, once and for all,
a 3-month ball, is this our last call,
our lives move on, it's only a beginning,
of a friendship that will fall, yo, yo.
[Chorus]
this is how we go, front and back,
i just wanna take you back,
let me suffer low, don't you go,
go back to the life we know.
there's so much to see, let it be,
the world is for you and me,
let me suffer low, don't you go,
go back to the life we know.
[Verse 2]
i ponder everyday, ponder on what to say
to know you like this is just, simply not my kind of way
a quick hi and goodbye, hiding feelings like an honest lie
to pretend that i don't love you, or still don't love you
i wish i could die
i wanted us to go back together, and let us to hold each other
i didn't want this feeling to be a bother, bad karma had gathered
of someone taking you in, before i can take you back
man, how this new story begins, how my heart turned into pure black.
when i walked into your room, and saw a man with half his clothes on
thinking, how did this happened, where did it go wrong
then i walked out, and thought what you said to me,
to not to be with me, cause of another man she sees,
that's what she sees in me, and get away from every man she meets.
then who is this fellow she's with, saying she won't be with anybody
one week after we broke up, she already found somebody
what was then the love that we had, ain't her heart broken in half
the truth emerge, the trust is lost
the visions of us is fogged, like the window frost
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
a month passed, two months passed, my heart is goin back and forth
like a pendilum, taking its way in all the time it's worth
a call or two, made by me and you, to see if we're sad and blue
to see what's new, and catch up with all the time that flew.
a week in your new relationship, you had to call it off
everybody you see, everyday you do, pisses you off
it gave me a slight of hope, thought it was now a downslope
to reminisce the thought, to have a chance together,
now that no one can interlope.
but the time that went by, that i haven't seen you at all
i have forgotten the memory, of seeing you being my all
maybe it'll be alright, we can finally start anew
forget the past that we had, build one day, by day, by the few.
but that isn't the case y'all, she fucked me once again
and gone back with that other fella, i ain't ever consider her as a friend
the day is raining now, everything ain't no longer cool
that i had been thinking about you for so long, i realize that i'm the fool
