He don't know I call him the teacher
He had hard lessons for the kid
I get I put you through hell
He put me under the same spell
He lied man, he stressed me out
You loved me like a precious gift
And he loved me like a sloppy kiss
You would tell me your heartaches
Now I understand the pain
Oh why did I let you drown
Baby would you believe
That I've been broken
You say memories
Play again and again
I see the reel now it's real to me
I gave up gold for grains of sand
Slipping through my hand
Slipping through my hand
You had no problems with commitment
Like a king is loyal to what's his
You looked for a ring to fit
While I played wifey with a kid
Oh the irony makes me sick
He tried to make me look crazy
Nothing new about his kind of scheme
I laugh when I think about
His face when truth nearly spilled out
He looked like me I get that now
Baby would you believe
That I've been broken
You say memories
Play again and again
I see the reel now it's real to me
I gave up gold for grains of sand
Slipping through my hand
Slipping through my hand
Slipping through my hand
Slipping through my hand
Oooooooh
Oooooooh
Baby would you believe
That I've been broken
You say memories
Play again and again
I see the reel now it's real to me
I gave up gold for grains of sand
Slipping through my hand
Slipping through my hand
Slipping through my hand, oooh
Slipping through my hand
Slipping through my hand, hand, hand
Slipping through my hand, hand, hand
Slipping through my hand, hand, hand
Slipping through my hand, hand, hand
