Lost Cause
• Written by Hayyden
Six months in, thought I found love
Kinda thought, maybe she the one
I really meant only number one
You never tried, facade was your name
Wearing a mask, it was all a game
Every visit left me feelin drained
Not in the way I wanted to be drained
Had more fun on the way home
Just me and the beamer, all night long
That's when I knew something was wrong
So many times, should I have quit
You're lucky you got as long as you did
You a real nightmare, you a masquerade
Deceiving me, but you overplayed
Showed your hand, showed your true face
Found my escape, found my place
It was really all a mistake
So many flaws behind that mask
In your room I remember red
On your door there was always flags
Really should've connected the two
You wouldn't talk, no message or call
You were always busy (never free)
I'd ditch work to come and see you
You'd take work and cancel our plans
I need money was your plea
It was money or me, never was it me
You are selfish you'd have to agree
I wanted more us time, wanted more touch time
Even at the right time, it was never your time
Waited till the late night but that was your sleep time
Still wasn't our time, sent home such a waste of time
Spent long enough chasing your time
Done with it now, taking back mine
Ain't about fucking it never was
I guess a little love was just too much
Acted different for my fam
Treated me nice in front of them
Treated me shit any other time
Deep in your bag
You a facade creator
A fucking manipulator
I asked too much
(yeah)
That's what you said
Here I was doing my best
Just tryna be enough for you
Never did I feel enough for you
But still I wanted to make you happy
Brought you gifts (yeah) all the time
For the flowers she’d turn around
Find a vase forget about me
No hug (no, no) not even a thanks
Felt great being treated like that
Felt great wasting my money like that
On a girl that couldn’t care
I bet it felt good twistin my feelings and playin with me
(I wanna change yes I do)
That’s a lie
That you told so many times
Never once did you try
Never once did you treat me right
So many times I nearly cried
Thinking to myself why do I try
You couldn’t care what I’d say
You sat there and never said a word
I will admit I was deceived
I will admit it hurt sometimes
But I'm not scared to say that I cared
You had me fooled (but) bitch who cares
You were pretty but that’s all
Fucking nothing else at all
Pda that's three words
She didn't even want a hand
Even at home she was dodging kisses
But she was tired (yeah) how could I forget
We went months without kissing
We went months without hugging
Didn't even feel like a relation
Told her we needed to talk
So I went over, guess what she did (guess)
She went and hid with her family
Till I had enough (yeah) I was leaving
Then she came down and ask what's wrong
Bitch it's too late, I'm leaving
Funny how you cared once I was leaving
Too little too late, sorry not sorry
No one to confide with, I found Hendrix
Helped me realise (that) I was right
She a facade, she a masquerade
Most of all she a mistake
Treated you like a queen, my baby girl
(Man) Shoulda known that that's wrong
I really shoulda played it cold
Maybe then you woulda cared
Deep down
I believe you know what you did
Nobody cared less than you
Nobody tried less than you
You were the worst and that's true
All my friends they wanted her gone
But I still believed that she cared
How naive still stuck in a dream
Rather have nothin than what you call love
Rather be alone than be stuck with you
I'm so glad I didn't see it through
We was celebrating once I quit
Didn't even cry only relief
Finally (man) did I feel free
Everyone saying congratulations
You'd have though I'd won a ring
Only thing I'll miss
Is that drive from her house
Just Hendrix and me, the beamer at three
Shout out her family they were great
Seems like the apple falls far from the tree
She a lost cause (man) let's be real
(A lost cause)
(Yeah she a lost cause)
Treated like a friend
With no benefits
That about sums up that relation
We was friends with no benefits
