Been That Way Lyrics

I wanna know how we became so distant, girl
The way we fell in love, it was almost instant
I'm tryna find a way around it
Girl, tell me how you feel about it
You still love me, that's the way it's sounding
Thank God, I would've never found this, I doubt it
I'm there for you if you allow it
Girl, you know I gotta keep you around me
All this paper we counting, blazing these ounces
Spending on you, baby, no matter what the amount is
Now you wanna know what's gotten into me, what's changed?
I guess I had a hard time showing it at first, but

Baby, it's been that way
Baby, it's been that way
Baby, I still feel the same
Something I gotta maintain
Listen to me when I say
Baby, it's always, always
Always been that way
It's always been that way
It's always been that way
Baby, I still feel the same
Something I gotta maintain
Listen to me when I say
It's always been that way

How did we become so distant?
Like I'm the one to blame and you're innocent
I tried to make a way, make a difference, but
Some things don't change, I can't complain
I try not to think about you
What can I say? Every time I get near you
I want that old thing back, now bring it to me
Shawty keep telling me what to do about you
Think she got jealous soon as she knew about you
She don't ever wanna see her go through round two
Cut her off, that's what I'm doing now, you
Told me I should go out and do my thing
Damn right, I do my thing
Now you wanna know what's got into me, what's changed
But, baby, nothin' changed

Baby, it's been that way
Baby, it's been that way
Baby, I still feel the same
Something I gotta maintain
Listen to me when I say
Baby, it's always, always
Always been that way
It's always been that way
It's always been that way
Baby, I still feel the same
Something I gotta maintain
Listen to me when I say
It's always been that way

Oh yeah, ayy
It's always been that way
Oh yeah
It's always been that way
Yeah, uh-huh, yeah
In the trap, in the soul
In the trap
