I ain't really mean to play you
But I was never for the keeping for you
Never meant for you to fall so hard for me
Boy, I know that you may not believe me
But that's real
My intentions weren't to hurt you
I didn't wanna hurt your feelings
But you can't have everything you want
I still hope that you forgive me
And that's real
It was wrong for me to mash your mind
I was a savage for a long long time
You were so into me
I wasn't into you
So I should've never crossed that line
I told you from the very start that I wasn't the one for you
And you just let me break your heart
Use you up 'til I was through
I was in such a bad bad place
And you just kept letting me have my way
But there is no excuse
For what I did to you
So each and every night I pray.
I ain't really mean to play you
But I was never for the keeping for you
Never meant for you to fall so hard for me
Boy, I know that you may not believe me
But that's real
My intentions weren't to hurt you
I didn't wanna hurt your feelings
But you can't have everything you want
I still hope that you forgive me
And that's real
Still got a lot of things I need to deal with
Holding onto God because I really need some healing
Cause it ain't sweet when you're facing that music
You can't be mad bout what you got when you choose it
I hope you find somebody that'll understand
Your mind, and soul, and gives you every single thing she can
But 'til then you gotta face true reality
That somebody is somebody that just isn't me
I know my heart was cold
Forever hoping Jesus has mercy on my soul.
And if I led you on it wasn't my objective so you gotta let me go
If I could take it back
I promise that I would
Choose a better path for you and I
But it's too late to take
What I did away
So I gotta be for real and apologize
I ain't really mean to play you
But I was never for the keeping for you
Never meant for you to fall so hard for me
Boy, I know that you may not believe me
But that's real
My intentions weren't to hurt you
I didn't wanna hurt your feelings
But you can't have everything you want
I still hope that you forgive me
And that's real
