Lyrics Tell 'Em Why - Redferrin

Tell 'em how you used to tell me where I had to meet ya
Park my truck around the back of the Adelicia
Tryna keep it low-key, kinda secret
Tickets in the nosebleeds, kinda sneaky
For too long acted like ya didn't know about it
All a-sudden, flip a switch and you so about it

Spent too many days playin' games with you
So, when ya

Tell 'em why I left
I know you won't tell the truth
I always gave my best
And it never was enough for you
Gon' get it off your chest

Tell 'em I'm the worst, throw a little dirt
We both know why it didn't work
So don't blame it on nobody, but yourself
When you tell 'em why I left
(When you tell 'em why, tell 'em why)
Yeah, when you tell 'em why I left

One minute tryna hide me from ya little sister
Next minute tryna get me in the family picture
Now ya up on my IG creepin'
Tryna hit my new girl in the DM
Slidin' in tryna make us unhappy
Tellin' lies, yeah right, never happened

Spent too many days playin' games with you
So, when ya

Tell 'em why I left
I know you won't tell the truth
I always gave my best
And it never was enough for you
Gon' get it off your chest

Tell 'em I'm the worst, throw a little dirt
But we both know why it didn't work
So don't blame it on nobody, but yourself
When you tell 'em why I left
(When you tell 'em why, tell 'em why)
Yeah, when you tell 'em why I left

Too worried 'bout your own reputation
I was all in, no hesitation
Never could meet your expectations
So, baby
Tell 'em why I left

Tell 'em why I left
I know you won't tell the truth
I always gave my best
And it never was enough for you
Gon' get it off your chest

Tell 'em I'm the worst, throw a little dirt
But we both know why it didn't work
So don't blame it on nobody, but yourself
When you tell 'em why I left
(When you tell 'em why, tell 'em why)
When you tell 'em why I left

(When you tell 'em why, tell 'em why) yeah, girl
When you tell 'em why I left
