Abandoned - Rod Wave

If loving me is hard, I apologize

If I push you away, promise you’ll stay by my side

He’s been broken, traumatized

Yeah, yeah, uh (Yeah, yeah)

Yeah-yeah-yeah, dawg, yeah-yeah-yeah, dawg

Uh, okay

I can remember, gotta remember way back when

Since a small small kid, I didn’t ever have no friends

'Member daddy went to prison, Uncle Derek took me in

Then Uncle Derek went to prison, that’s when my troubles began

Mama went off and found her some happiness, she got married

Missin' my daddy badly, I turned my back on the family

And that left me looking for love in all the wrong places

Now my heart that was so full of love is full of hate

Everybody that I invested trust turned to be snakes

Everybody that I invested trust turned to be fake

I know you’re frustrated, you want me to open more

But it takes a strong, strong heart to heal a broken soul

He’s been abandoned his whole life (Oh yeah)

If loving me is hard, I apologize

If I push you away, promise you’ll stay by my side

He’s been broken, traumatized

Uh-huh

Yeah, yeah, yeah, uh

Yeah-yeah-yeah, dawg, yeah-yeah-yeah, dawg

Uh

Now here’s a toxic trait that I have

I beg for distance when I’m mad, but bein' distant, we won’t last

And if it’s best for you, then go be free

But if you plan on comin' back, then baby, you shouldn’t leave

'Cause by the time that you get back, I’ll be gone

Too scared of bein' alone, and where I lay my hat’s my home

And I know that you’re frustrated, you want me to open more

But it takes a strong, strong heart to heal my broken soul

Broken soul

Broken, soul, yeah

Bring the hook back right there

He’s been abandoned his whole life (Woah, woah, his whole life, his whole life,

yeah)

If loving me is hard, I apologize (Yeah, yeah, yeah, woah)

If I push you away, promise you’ll stay by my side (Push you away, yeah,

if I push you away)

He’s been broken, traumatized (He's been traumatized, traumatized)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Yeah-yeah)

Yeah-yeah-yeah, dawg, (Woah, woah, woah, woah) yeah-yeah-yeah, dawg
