[Part I]

[Chorus]
Long in my life, I wouldn't let love inside
Long in my life, I wouldn't let love inside
Long in my life, I wouldn't let love inside
Yeah, yeah
But I swallowed my pride

[Verse 1]
I used to love you, girl, before the sun goes down
In Niagara Falls, ooh, yeah (But I swallowed my pride)
Your baby daddy been a scrub, let's keep it hush
Trust me, I know, yeah
I remember that you rolled me blunts before we fucked
When I was a ghost (Yeah, uh)
I had you up in the St. Regis when it was thе Trump
I was a boy
Still the kid from the 'Borough, uh
Pull up to the city dolo, uh
You know you can always rеach me
Tryna see you with your clothes off
'Cause I know he really loves you, uh
But you tellin' me the next move, uh
'Cause in your head, you're my baby
You're relivin' what we been through, oh

[Chorus]
Long in my life, I wouldn't let love inside
Long in my life, I wouldn't let love inside
But I swallowed my pride

[Verse 2]
I used to hold you, girl, before the sun came up
It was dusk 'til dawn, ooh, yeah (But I swallowed my pride)
Your ex-man tried to end your run, you're a shining star
Trust me I know, ooh, yeah
'Cause I got my finger on the pulse every single time
I've done it before, yeah
But I'll never take the credit 'cause you were bound to shine
I was just a spark
Gave your heart just to borrow (Borrow)
Tried to help you with the sorrow (Sorrow)
You know you can always reach me (Reach me)
'Cause I know you runnin' on low (On low)
And he never really loved you (Loved you)
Tellin' me about his next move (Next move)
'Cause in your head, you're my baby (Baby)
You know who you're really loyal to (I know)

[Chorus]
Long in my life, I wouldn't let love inside
Long in my life, I wouldn't let love inside
But I swallowed my pride, my-my pride, my pride
Le-le-let love inside, inside
But I swallowed my pride, my-my pride, my pride
Le-le-let love inside, inside

[Part II]

[Verse]
Oh (Oh)
Oh (Oh-oh)
The sky is burnin' bright
Set my heart on fire (Fire)
Set my heart on fire
I lost my life
Goin' back in time
(Goin' back in time)
