What if love is nothing more than a fairy tale?
I care and [Bm]all, but I'm fearing this here a carousel to [C7]me
I'm here and [Bm]gone to [C7]you, hear my [A]songs playing
We get on [C7]and [Bm]off like [F]we horizontally horse-playing
You need somebody with some patience, shorty, yeah
I need somebody that hate to [C7]party, uh
You need somebody that's less busy
I need a woman that's praying for [Dm7]me, but hesitate to [C7]call [Em]me
I'm hot, cold, the doctor calling that bipolar
Ha, that's undersold, she ɾock with me, she got [Fm7]five boyfriends
I can't explain, my [A]brain think in multiple colors
Though all [Em]of 'em [A]dull when anxiety ɾival my [A]depression

We got [Fm7]shit that we should speak about
'Bout how you [A7started fucking
Yeah, we gon [C7]bleep it out
I sit and [Bm]think about just how the ɾight path could be [Am]the wrong [Am]direction
But falling back is progress, it's all [Em]about perspective
I'm saying though, I am too selfish to [C7]leave you [A7all [Em]that I got, uh
That shit harder than mending shit with my [A]pops, uh
That shit harder than women giving out props
And niggas hitting at cops who bought the cap that you [A7copped
'Cause you [A7way different when you're solo
You seem [A]happy in your ρhotos
I'm way different 'round my [A]bro-bros
