It's been awhile since we had a conversation
And last time wasn't the best
So here i go i'm pickin' up the phone
Gotta get something off my chest
Now in spite of the news you heard
I'm telling you that i don't have another man
And i never did you dirty baby,

It's taking two months
But now i see the best thing to do is
Just let it by, move on let
Bygones be bygones, that's what i gotta do,
Just let it breathe cause life
Is too damn short to be wasting hating you (yeah),
Cause when it gets down to it, (i still love you)
Gets down to it, (i'm thankful for the times you were here)
When it gets down to it, (i still adore you),
Gets down to it (and life is too short for tears).

Now even though it ain't cool, you know we need to talk about,
Why we had to split and we never did work it out,
You got an ego, you don't ever backdown,
I got one too, you know what that's about,
But i've been thinking about you lately,
Concerned for your safety, and i never wished no bad on you,
Even though you did me dirty baby,
It's time to break the silence, i can no longer fight,
The best thing to do is,

Just let it by, move on let
Bygones be bygones, that's what i gotta do,
Just let it breathe cause life
Is too damn short to be wasting hating you (yeah),
Cause when it gets down to it, (i still love you)
Gets down to it, (i'm thankful for the times you were here)
When it gets down to it, (i still adore you),
Gets down to it (and life is too short for tears).

This ain't just for me and my love,
This goes out to you and your love,
Shake off your pride, it'll tear you down,
Pick up the phone and work it out,
Cause it takes a real man to admit his mistakes,
And it takes a real woman to do the same,
You ain't gotta check for him, you can still check for him,
And let him know how you feel.
