Lyrics
[Verse1]
Who am I to be the one that catches your attention?
I'm just your boyfriend, with nothing for you but good intentions.
In the collisions we've had, I never thought I would envision,
You hating me or even start to question your decision,
To why you said "Yes" when I asked for your hand,
On that tuesday night when I asked to be your man.
I guess you thought I was so much different,
And that my bad side would jus decide to cease existence.
So in the beginning you used treat me like you should,
Caring and compassionate to me, you were so good.
I loved the way that you always had my back around your people,
See back then baby, you saw me as your equal.
[Chorus]
You seem to have taken my last breath from me,
You betrayed me, you didn't leave nothing left for me,
My future doesn't have you standing next to me,
I'm just a fourth a cup added to your recipe.
[Verse2]
As time went on, you tried to treat me as property,
Left the thing we had for dead, you let it go into poverty,
No fruitful things in us, and that's what bothered me,
Cuz erretime I tried to hold your hand you said "Get off of me."
Hah, I guess that's what I get for trying too hard,
Maybe you was playing and I wasn't, maybe I took it too far.
Either way, I doubt we can justify what's gone wrong,
If we could I wouldn't have even written this song.
Oh! I put too much into writing lyrics,
And I feel like I'm missing so much from my spirit,
My love for you is destroyed by your hate for me,
Maybe if I could move on that would be great for me,
But it's too late for me, to try to change my feelings,
Now I feel just like the rest of the heart-broken millions,
Cuz at first I used to think I had something with you,
But now I realize that I was nothing to you.
[Chorus]
You seem to have taken my last breath from me,
You betrayed me, you didn't leave nothing left for me,
My future doesn't have you standing next to me,
I'm just a fourth a cup added to your recipe.
[Verse3]
Yesterday wasn't a good day, you broke up with me,
Apparently, it seems, you had enough of me,
But the way you used to throw all this stuff on me,
Like I was your coat rack, you shoulda known this would be tough on me.
But you don't care, you just assumed it was over,
I wasn't the lucky one, I didn't pick the 4-leaf clover.
Instead I picked a boulder, that is placed on my shoulders,
And will always be there, it'll haunt me when I get older.
But that's ok, I'll remember to stay strong,
Thought I picked a winner, guess I was way wrong.
By now you must be way gone, outta my sight,
Never to return again, you must be outta my life,
Now nothing is right, since you left me alone,
Since you blocked me out and quit answering your phone,
So with this song, I plan to let go of this emotion,
I should have never asked you out, I should have never been open!
[Chorus]
You seem to have taken my last breath from me,
You betrayed me, you didn't leave nothing left for me,
My future doesn't have you standing next to me,
I'm just a fourth a cup added to your recipe.
