i beat you to the punchline
girl i love you
now what we

what we gon' do
i mean it really
when i say i love you

whatever...
i will not do
cause i hear your prayers

late at night when noone's listening
praying i stay the same


i'm not your father
i won't desert you
i'm not your ex

not trying to hurt you
i'm just a man
tryna love you

i'm just a man
trying to love you


your walls are so impossible
i'm tired
as i'm climbing

they keep on multiplying
everytime there's progress
we regress

and i'm stressed
all i wanna know
is why you can't let it go


i'm not your father
i won't desert you

i'm not your ex
not trying to hurt you (oh no)
i'm just a man

tryna love you
i'm just a man
trying to love you


i'm not your father
i won't desert you

i'm not your ex
not trying to hurt you (oh no)
i'm just a man

trying to love you
i'm just a man
trying to love you


cause everything you ever want
is standing right in front of you

everything you ever need
i make sure i put by for you
and i know you're scared

and i've had my days too
let's just face this thing together


i'm not your father
i won't desert you
i'm not your ex

not trying to hurt you (no)
i'm just a man
tryna love you

i'm just a man
trying to love you
yeah


i'm not your father
i won't desert you

i'm not your ex
i will not hurt you
i'm just a man

tryna love you
i'm just a man
trying to love you
