XO (My Gift Interlude) - Keri Hilson
Lyrics by:Keri Hilson/Candice Nelson/Balewa Muhammad
Arranged by:Walter Milsap/Candice Nelson/Elvis Williams/Aljamaal Jones
My frustration lies in what we could've been
If you knew what we had we'd have had it all back then
And for the longest time I thought we'd never end
Now we can't go back and it's too hard to be friends
But you know like I know that you're hard to love
And it's not all your fault the way we ended up
Were we really that bad?
Ever wish we could go back the way that I have?
Oh ex oh ex oh ex
Never wanted you to be my ex
Oh ex oh ex oh oh ex
Oh ex oh ex
Never wanted you to be my ex
Oh ex oh ex oh
I still can't find the words for what I'm going through
These memories of us seem to be all I have to lose
And will this piece of my heart always love you
Even though I let you go like you asked me to?
But you know like I know that you're hard to love
And it's not all my fault the way we ended up
Were we really that bad baby?
Ever wish we could go back the way that I have?
Oh ex oh ex oh ex
Never wanted you to be my ex
Oh ex oh ex oh oh ex
Oh ex oh ex
Never wanted you to be my ex
Oh ex oh ex oh yeah
Broken hearts don't bleed no so you couldn't see how
You were hurting me and I thought I could just let you leave
I honestly believed you would return to me
But oh ex oh ex oh ex
Never wanted you to be my ex
Oh ex oh woah ex oh ex
Oh ex
Never wanted you to be my ex
Oh ex oh ex
Oh
Always wanted it to be you
Oh yeah
But maybe we're happier apart
I've come too far
I just want to truly be happy
That's all I want
Just being my best self
Getting back into my light
Back in my throe
Feeling truly fulfilled with my gift
That's all I got to get my back off the corner is my gift
That's all I got
You didn't stop me from doing that
I stopped myself from doing that
That's just part of what I need to do
To pick myself back up from this blow
And that was my mistake
I mean I was so happy that I just didn't need it
And now I have no choice
My back's against the wall
And I gotta use my gift to get out the corner
I'm in the ring like getting beat the fuck up
And now God can't feel sorry for me
I can't be depressed 'cause he's blessed me with too much
I'm articulate I'm educated I'm intelligent I'm street smart
I'm beautiful I have two talents three talents
Ain't nobody gon' feel sorry for me
