"Imani" lyrics

I was so down bad, I should've known you'd take me for a ride
But I was going mad, I needed someone by my side
We had this hookup thing, I thought I wanted more, but I was wrong
You complicated things, this went on too long

So I'll take my time, I'll pave my mind
We can't go on, I'm sorry if it hurts
But if you realize and realign
You'll find that this was never gonna work

You never liked my friends, the good news is they hated your guts too
We'll never make amends, I get sick just thinkin' of you
There was some good times, had our fun and shared our laughter
If you could only see it's not meant to be

So I'll take my time, I'll pave my mind
We can't go on, I'm sorry if it hurts
But if you realize and realign
You'll find that this was never gonna work

'Cause you take me and break me, I hope you don't hate me
I know that you're hurtin', but look what you've done to me
You'll push me and shove me, pretend that you love me
But now that I'm gone, I don't ever want to meet a girl like you

Help me understand, I really think you're out your mind
I hope you find in time, the pain in my eyes was
Stemmin' from my heart, I didn't want this any more than you
I could feel it from the start, it filled up the room

So I'll take my time (I'll take my), I'll pave my mind (I'll pave my mind)
We can't go on, I'm sorry if it hurts
But if you realize and realign (Realize, realign)
You'll find that this was never gonna work

'Cause you take me and break me, I hope you don't hate me
I know that you're hurtin', but look what you've done to me
You'll push me and shove me, pretend that you love me
But now that I'm gone, I don't ever want to meet a girl like you

(Ooh-ooh-ooh) You
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) You
I never wanna meet a girl like you
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) You
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) You
I never wanna meet a girl like you
