Different Pages

(album: To Be Eaten Alive - 2023)

Haven't spoken since I left New York
But I guess you left me with no choice
Didn't bother coming back that night
You didn't even wish me a safe flight
You aren't the nigga that I thought you were
Just a boy, will address you as such
And a boy could never be enough
I let myself down, I let myself down

You can blame it on temptation
Blame it on lack of communication
All we needed was a single conversation
And maybe just a little motivation
Baby, you can blame it on temptation
Blame it on lack of communication
All we needed was a single conversation
And maybe just a little motivation
Lately, we've just been on different pages

Never asked for much, not even my way
That was enough to have you looking at me sideways
But not enough to make a nigga come home and right all his wrongs
I knew you never loved me and still let you lead me on like
Baby, oh, baby
Where would we be if we just had learned to be patient?
All them "what ifs" and all them late night conversations 'bout what we could have
It ain't nothing but understood that I let a nigga play me
Won't let you do it twice, won't do the same thing
Won't let you make it right, no need in changing
No need in claiming me
And as much as you know it pains me

You blame it on temptation
Blame it on lack of communication
All we needed was a single conversation
And maybe just a little motivation
Baby, you can blame it on temptation
Blame it on lack of communication
All we needed was a single conversation
And maybe just a little motivation
Lately, we've just been on different pages
