  • I wanna start this out and say
    I gotta get it off my chest
    Got no anger, got no malice
    Just a little bit of regret
    Know nobody else will tell you
    So there's some things I gotta say
    Gonna jot it down and then get it out
    And then I'll be on my way

    No, you're not half the man you think that you are
    And you can't fill the hole inside of you with money, drugs and cars
    I'm so glad I never ever had a baby with you
    'Cause you can't love nothin' unless there's somethin' in it for you

    Oh, I feel so sorry
    I feel so sad
    I tried to help you
    It just made you mad
    And I had no warnin'
    About who you are
    I'm just glad I made it out without breakin' down
    And then ran so fuckin' far
    That you would never ever touch me again
    I won't see your alligator tears
    'Cause, no, I've had enough of them

    Mmm
    I wanna start this off by sayin'
    I really meant well from the start
    Take a broken man right in my hands
    And then put back all his parts

    But you're not half the man you think that you are
    And you can't fill the hole inside of you with money, drugs and cars
    I'm so glad I never ever had a baby with you
    'Cause you can't love nothin' unless there's somethin' in it for you

    Oh, I feel so sorry
    I feel so sad
    I tried to help you
    It just made you mad
    And I had no warnin'
    About who you are
    Just glad I made it out without breakin' down
    I feel so sorry
    I feel so sad
    I tried to help you
    It just made you mad
    And I had no warnin'
    About who you are
    'Bout who you are

    Hey
    Hey
    Hey
    Hey

    'Cause you're not half the man you think that you are
    And you can't fill the hole inside of you with money, girls and cars
    I'm so glad I never ever had a baby with you
    'Cause you can't love nothin' unless there's somethin' in it for you

    I feel so sad
    You should be sad
    You should be
    You should be sad
    You should be
    You should be
    You should be Writer/s: Ashley Frangipane, Greg Kurstin
