[verse 1] I picked up on romance from the movies all these comedies and dramas they keep shooting but little did I know… it was all conditioning for the simpin’/ while I thought I was learning how to be Big Pimpin’ but I wasn’t a player, I just crushed a lot so much disappointment is what I got then I realized/ that you’ll never find/ a fairytale kind of love [chorus] I wrote all these songs about these girls/ like they’re love notes because I always left my true intentions untold I wrote all these songs about these girls/ like they’re love notes because my concept of the game was unknown [verse 2] what I thought was love was just infatuation and I feel pretty dumb about the fact I wasted/ all of this time pining, trying to find affection I guess I should be glad I learned a lesson but it’s kind of a hard pill to swallow I’ma need a chaser from that drink in the bottle I’m not gonna chase her/ I’m not gonna follow her/ if she’s acting lame, just charge it to the game cuz there ain’t nobody in this world [worth] crying over wish ‘em good luck like a four-leaf clover no one gives a fuck about your lack of affection! it’s really not a good look being desperate can’t believe how long it took to learn that lesson when I wrote those songs, it was like I had an obsession I used to call myself a “hopeless romantic” but nowadays, the first word in that phrase is “skeptic” [chorus] NO MORE LOVE NOTES (4x)

[hook] (I want this to be more than just another crush) [verse 1] I remember when you told me/ I wrote one of your favorite songs you were always excited to see me you say it’s been way too long back in the day, I saved you from danger it’s like I was a hero to you since that time, our lives have been through game changers (nothing’s gonna be the same) and I agree with how long it’s been/ it’s almost like we’re strangers (so catch up with me) [chorus] for some reason I thought you secretly felt the same but you were just so, so comfortable now this crush seems pointless to me I realized it probably was not meant to be [hook] [verse 2] she said just let it go (just let it go) I’m trying not to lose hope I wanna find the right ones for me/ before I lose my soul (yeah) [chorus] [hook]

[bridge] (no one knows what’s really going on inside my brain but you might not understand me if I try to explain no one knows what’s really going on inside my brain you showing fake smiles when you can’t take the pain) everybody got some issues like a magazine (yeah, that’s right) everybody got some issues like a magazine (I’ma say that shit again, yeah) [hook - 2x] everybody got some issues like a magazine said some shit I didn’t mean/ now she’s mad at me shooting birds if ya hating on my dreams dealing with the bullshit, feeling like I need to scream [verse 2] I used to read Game Informer magazine/ till I realized I had a passion for music and even when I die, I’ma keep living through it so my lifespan is gonna be/ 10-3-93 to infinity the past ain’t the present, it don’t mean shit to me so don’t bring it up you couldn’t pay me enough for me to give a fuck/ cuz I’m already putting in work so I can get the bucks nobody can tip the balance of my scales I’ve been through a lot of shit & lived to tell the tale I refuse to be another n**** that’s living in jail fuck being depressed & feeling like I’m a failure I got my own life to live some people suck, but I got a lot of love to give I’m just tryna stay positive in a world full of bullshit

[chorus] I'll burn the bridges that lead back to you I really meant it when I said "We're through" so moving forward is all I can do and I know someday I'll forget about you [verse 1] I don't know why I thought you were special the feeling wasn't real, so I had to let go you & I are on two different waves it's something I realized a little too late I do what I want & I wanna get faded I was into dating, & then I felt jaded like I'm someone that love has always evaded I hate this feeling, so I'm tryna shake it I'll roll my weed in a love letter, then blaze it give it some time, I'll be feeling amazing same as the way that it was when we met I'ma stay in my lane & go on to the next don't place all your bets in one basket it's like going for a kiss that'll put you in a casket yeah, I had to learn the hard way it seemed like the whole thing was tragic [bridge 1] (I got caught up in the games playing with a match & some gas, now I gotta put out the flames standing under gray clouds, trying to find the sunlight in the rain) I got caught up in the games playing with a match & some gas, now I gotta put out the flames and I'm tryna find the sunlight in the rain [chorus] [verse 2] (2x) so many times you've tried putting me to shame but now I'm done playing all the mind games I got a new pack of matches waiting to make some flames so let me light 'em up! [bridge 2] I don't hate you & I don't love you I just want your memory out of my head [chorus]

the sun is out, and I'm feeling good I'm happy to be alive, just like I should it's not too late to be who you were really meant to be you have to be the change that you want to see for all these years it feels like my soul was asleep so I'm waking up & I'm following my dreams the negativity I held inside is untrue I never knew that this is what my life would come to [chorus] I've never listened closely to the songs the world sings but they say there's a first time for everything I wanna shine like the light inside the room I'm a flower on the wall, and I had a late bloom [outro - 4x] it's not too late
