lyrics

Be us
Be us
Be us
How could it
Be us, why us?

Started off real perfect
Maybe all for the Gram
Going off of likes
Will have yo feelings in a jam

People thought we were perfect
But it was all pretend
All the yelling and fights
Is it ever gonna end?

Over with the lies (lies)
Over with the drugs (drugs)
Over with the fake friends
Over with the broken promises
(Ohhh Oh)

I thought that I would never have to leave like that
I thought that that it would always be us (be us)
I thought that we would never give up like that
I thought this love would be all trust (all trust)

I thought that I would never have to leave like that
I thought that I would never speak up (speak up)
I thought that I would never have to leave like that
I thought this love would always be us

Be us
Be us
Be us
How could it
Be us, why us?

Gonna keep it 100
I’ll still love you till the end
Lessons that I’ve learned
Sometimes we’re better off as friends

This isn't to say I regret it
I now know who I am
You broke me down and made me think
That I’m not worth a damn

Over with the lies (lies)
Over with the drugs (drugs)
Over with the fake friends
Over with the broken promises
(Ohhh Oh)

I thought that I would never have to leave like that
I thought that that it would always be us (be us)
I thought that we would never give up like that
I thought this love would be all trust (all trust)

I thought that I would never have to leave like that
I thought that I would never speak up (speak up)
I thought that I would never have to leave like that
I thought this love would always be us

I thought this love would always be us
Be us
