From the recording Jthovn Presents For Life
Lyrics
How could you leave without, telling me goodbye
Not even a Dear John letter, to tell a brother why
The thought had crossed my mind, that something wasn't right
I'd rather work things out, than to be alone in life
I was a fool, to think that you, ever were so true
I've lost my cool, I'm singing blues, the things that you do
The easy way, was not to stay, you had to move on
To bigger things, and better things, and now I'm all alone
I can't be alone
I can't be alone
I can't be alone
I can't be alone
When will I hear from you, will you call when things are okay, okay
Cause baby I don't hate you, I just need you here to stay, need you here
I need you in my life, to fill this empty space
In this heart you broke when you, left without a trace
At night I cry, I close my eyes, and see you in my dreams
I look around, and all I found's, a few of your things
Pictures of you, some of us two, hanging everywhere
I have to know, how could you go, the reason's not too clear
I can't be alone
I can't be alone
I can't be alone
I can't be alone
Now I'm all up in this suite
No appetite, can't eat
And being weak ain't me
But my girl out in them streets
Not sure how this happened
While I was out here rapping
And singing on these tracks man
My lady got distracted
By another man's attention
While I was on a mission
I must've been deficient
Focused on provision
Priesting and protecting
I was still neglecting
What my lady needed most
Was love and affection
But I took her for granted
Cause I was so demanding
Expecting her to take care of me
While I was doing my man-ish
She was home with the family
Trying to be understanding
Of me chasing my dreams
Turn my fantasies to reality
Coming home in the wee
Acting like ish sweet
Smelling like the studio
Liquor, weed, and freaks
Climbing in those sheets
Trying to clap some cheeks
Cause I just had my ego stroked
And I'm feeling like a King
I greet her with a kiss
Her neck and then her lips
But even though she let me hit
Something feels amiss
But I dismissed that feeling
Besides, I'm getting my thrills in
And anything that's wrong with her
Will be fixed from sexual healing
Next morning asked for breakfast
She cooked it while expecting
Me to spend the day with her
And the kids running errands
But that ain't on my checklist
I have studio sessions
And I could tell by her expression
That was feeling neglected
So, I made a promise once again
Family time, next weekend
Trip to the mountains, log cabin
But next week came, gone, and went
A vicious cycle, broken trust
A million pleas, no fuss
Ignored the warning, 'til it was just
A former shell of what was us
Went through the motions, 'til love was gone
And as the man, I set the tone
Knew we weren't perfect, but we were strong
Thought we'd persevere guess I was wrong
Got in one morning, empty home
No wife and kids, dog or bone
A price was paid to atone
For my sins, now I'm alone
I can't be alone
I can't be alone
I can't be alone
I can't be alone
I can't be alone
I can't be alone
I can't be alone
I can't be alone
