Tell 'Em Why

Tell 'em how you used to tell me where I had to meet ya

Park my truck around the back of the Adelicia

Tryna keep it low-key, kinda secret

Tickets in the nosebleeds, kinda sneaky

For too long acted like ya didn't know about it

All a-sudden, flip a switch and you so about it

Spent too many days playin' games with you

So, when ya

Tell 'em why I left

I know you won't tell the truth

I always gave my best

And it never was enough for you

Gon' get it off your chest

Tell 'em I'm the worst, throw a little dirt

We both know why it didn't work

So don't blame it on nobody, but yourself

When you tell 'em why I left

(When you tell 'em why, tell 'em why)

Yeah, when you tell 'em why I left

One minute tryna hide me from ya little sister

Next minute tryna get me in the family picture

Now ya up on my IG creepin'

Tryna hit my new girl in the DM

Slidin' in tryna make us unhappy

Tellin' lies, yeah right, never happened

Spent too many days playin' games with you

So, when ya

Tell 'em why I left

I know you won't tell the truth

I always gave my best

And it never was enough for you

Gon' get it off your chest

Tell 'em I'm the worst, throw a little dirt

But we both know why it didn't work

So don't blame it on nobody, but yourself

When you tell 'em why I left

(When you tell 'em why, tell 'em why)

Yeah, when you tell 'em why I left

Too worried 'bout your own reputation

I was all in, no hesitation

Never could meet your expectations

So, baby

Tell 'em why I left

Tell 'em why I left

I know you won't tell the truth

I always gave my best

And it never was enough for you

Gon' get it off your chest

Tell 'em I'm the worst, throw a little dirt

But we both know why it didn't work

So don't blame it on nobody, but yourself

When you tell 'em why I left

(When you tell 'em why, tell 'em why)

When you tell 'em why I left

(When you tell 'em why, tell 'em why) yeah, girl

When you tell 'em why I left
