Mobsters (Layer 1) Lyrics

(Every story has two sides)

Perfect love story when the story began

I was at my lowest, but you came and held me down

Even momma was surprised cause you weren't really my type

Blinded to the plus size, I fell in love with character

Later we joked about this

Called it a miracle

Then you opened up to me

Told me your past

Showed me your scars

Emotional trauma, plenty in you

From all that drama

So I lifted you up

Like I was changing tires

Introduced you to my world, said you got inspired

No more crippling anxiety, it was just you and me

And for almost a year, we were lovebirds flying free

And then I got distracted

I wanted something new

The honeymoon was over

I got really confused

Started to see your flaws

And then I got caught up

In all our differences

The first of many wars

You started getting frustrated by all the things you loved about me

Turned it down when I brought up couples' therapy

But you left me with a hard decision

(There was beauty in the madness)

And I didn't know where to turn to

You left me with no options

So I had to let it go

Now I'm feeling like a mobster

Cause I stole your heart and bailed

But to me it feels the same

So I'm guessing we're both mobsters

I'm guessing we're both mobsters

I'm guessing we're both mobsters

Things turned when I did a u-turn

After I broke it off and then returned to ya'

Worked it out but conversation turned nasty

Quiet conversations would turn, and get rowdy

When I said I loved you

You heard I hate you

You had imaginations always centered on your weaknesses

New fights started over incomplete sentences

You spoke so loudly when I gently asked for clarity

Then we started therapy

Said you liked our therapist

Said you thought that he was always on my side

But he never said I have no faults on my side

He just pointed out some triggers that you had deep inside

Introduced you to my family

Treated you like family

But your trauma had you treating me like I was your family

The ones that didn't treat you right

The ones that always tore you down

Made it hard for you to see that you could be whatever you wanna be

So I came in like your Nas

Unstuck you from the past (God's son)

Yeah, made you believe in you

But it wasn't enough

Even though we had that love

Cause when you cussed at me I felt the urge to give you a shove

Now every Drake song feel like a memory

Now every Sunday like a song without no melody

Now every snap feel like a photo with no coloring

But I know that this pain only gon' be temporary

Now every Drake song feel like a memory

Now every Sunday like a song without no melody

Now every snap feel like a photo with no coloring

But I know that this pain only gon' be temporary

But you left me with a hard decision

(There was beauty in the madness)

And I didn't know where to turn to

You left me with no options (Oh oh)

So I had to let it go (I had to)

Now I'm feeling like a mobster

Cause I stole your heart and bailed

But to me it feels the same

So I'm guessing we're both mobsters

I'm guessing we're both mobsters

I'm guessing we're both mobsters
