I Love You

(album: Us Against The World - 2018)

Can't forget the day that I sat you
Down at the table, had to tell you
Something so bad that might break you
And it tore my heart just to see you
Cry out to me, yeah
You needed some
Time to breathe, yeah

I remember when you couldn't say nothing
Just sat there and never said nothing
Tears streaming, baby say something
You, you took me by my hands and said

Please pray with me, yeah
She looked at me and said how could this be, yeah

She cried out, "I love you, oh"
She cried out, "I love you, oh"
She cried out, "I love you, oh"
She says to me, "But I can't breathe
I need time to think"

She mumbled out, "How could ya
I never thought of all things that you would've
Be the one to go out and play me
See, you were my king I was your lady"
That's what she said to me, oh-oh
She said I hurt my family

I told her that I'll make it right
I said to her, if you leave I'll die

She said to me, "You messed up"
I said I know that
I'm feeling less than a man, cold hard facts
She said I got the right mind to leave ya
But the truth is I need ya to help me
Raise this family, yeah

I said to her, I'll be faithful
If you'll have me

I love you oh, hey, oh
I said to her
I love you
Know I'm guilty but I said to her
I love you oh, hey, baby
Oh, I need you to breathe
Stay here with me

Hey, I know I made a mistake
Baby promise you'll stay
Through it all we can be great
Give my all
Whatever it takes
Promise you'll stay
Forever my lady
Don't go away

You could have took off and left me
Yet you stayed and forgave me
After what I just told you
You could've left me girl
But instead you said

I love you oh
You could have left me baby
I love you oh
I love you, I love you, I love you baby
I love you oh, hey, yeah
You could have left me
But you showed me that
You love me back

You could have left me
Oh
