[Chorus:]
In the night I hear him talk
The coldest story ever told
Somewhere far along this road, he lost his soul
To a woman so heartless (heartless)
How you be so heartless Oh
How could you be so heartless

[Verse 1:]
How you be so cold
As the winter wind when it breeze yo
Just remember that you talkin to me yo
You need to watch the way you talkin to me yo
I mean after all the things that we been thru
I mean after all the things we got into
Ayo I know it’s some thangs that you ain’t told me
Ayo I did some things but that’s the old me
And now you wanna get me back and you gon show me
So you walkin round like you don’t know me
You gotta a new friend, well I got homies
But in the end it’s still so lonely

In the night I hear him talk
The coldest story ever told
Somewhere far along this road, he lost his soul
To a woman so heartless (heartless)
How you be so heartless? Oh
How could you be so heartless

[Verse 2:]
How could you be so doctor evil
You bringin out a side of me that I don’t know
I decided we wasn’t gon speak so
Why we up 3 AM on the phone
Why do she be so mad at me fo
Homie I don’t know
Shes hot and cold
I won’t stop won’t mess my groove up
Cause I already know how this thang go
Ya wanna tell ya friends that ya leavin me
They say that they don’t see what ya see in me
You wait a couple months then you gon see
You’ll never find nobody better than me

In the night I hear him talk
The coldest story ever told
Somewhere far along this road, he lost his soul
To a woman so heartless (heartless)
How you be so heartless? Oh
How could you be so heartless

[Verse 3:]
Talk and Talk and Talk and Talk
Baby let’s just knock it off
They don’t know what we been thru
They don’t know bout me and you
So I got somethin new to see
And you just gon keep hatin me
And we just gon be enemies
I know you can’t believe
I could just leave it wrong
And you can’t make it right
I’m gon take off tonight into the night

In the night I hear him talk
The coldest story ever told
Somewhere far along this road, he lost his soul
To a woman so heartless (heartless)
How you be so heartless? Oh
How could you be so heartless.

Wise men say [x3]
You’ll never figure out real love [x3]

It’s so crazy
I got everything figured out
But for some reason I can never find what real love is about
No doubt
Everything in the world figured out but I can never seem to find what love was about

Do you think I sacrificed real life
For all the fame, the flashing lights
Do you think I sacrifice, a real life
For all the fame, and flashing lights

There is no Gucci I can buy
There is no Louis vuitton to put on
They could sell
To get my heart out of this hill
My mind out of this jail
There is no clothes that I could buy
That could turn back a time
There is no vacation spot I could fly
That could bring back a piece of real life
Real life, what does it feel like?
I ask you tonight, I ask you tonight
What does it feel like, I ask you tonight
To live a real life
I just want to be a real boy
They always say Kanye, he keeps it real boy
Pinocchio story is, I just want to be a real boy
Pinocchio story goes to be a real boy

It’s funny Pinocchio lied and that’s what kept him from it?
I tell the truth and I keep running
It’s like I’m looking for something out there trying to find something
I turn on the tv and see me and see nothing

What does it feel like to live real life to be real
Not some posiedon? on tv that no can really feel
Do you really have the stamina
For everybody that sees you and that say wheres my camera?
For everybody that sees you and says sign the autographs
For everybody that sees you and come and see you’ll all that
You all that
I just want to be a real boy,
Pinocchio story goes, I just want to be a real boy
Pinocchio story goes

And there is no Gepetto, to guide me, no one right beside me
The only one was behind me I can’t find her no more
I can’t find her no more I can’t,
The only one that come out on the tour and stays
Back when I was living at home and this was all a big dream

And the fame will be got caught and the day I moved to LA
Maybe it was all my fault, all my fault to be a real boy
Chasing the American dream, chasing everything we seen, up on the tv screen
And the benz was left and the clothes was left, and the hoes was left you talk those hoes to death, pepping that money they depth [? ]

Real boy, they say kanye you keep it too real boy
Perspective, Wise man say, one day you’ll find your way
The wise man say, you’ll find your way
The wise man say, you’ll find your way
The wise man say.

On lonely nights I start to fade (on lonely nights I start to fade)
Her love’s a thousand miles away (her loves a thousand miles away)
Memories made in the coldest winter
Goodbye my friend
Will I ever love again?
Memories made in the coldest winter

It’s 4 AM and I can’t sleep (It’s 4 AM and I can’t sleep)
Her love is all that I can see (Her love is all that I can see)
Memories made in the coldest winter
Goodbye my friend
Will I ever love again?
Memories made in the coldest winter…

Winter…
Winter…

Goodbye my friend
Will I ever love again?
Goodbye my friend
Will I ever love again?
Goodbye my friend
Will I ever love again?

It’s rain can take the snow away (It’s rain can take the snow away)
Can it melt away all our mistakes? (Can it melt away all our mistakes?)
Memories made in the coldest winter
Goodbye my friend
I won’t ever love again

Never Again.

[Verse 1:]
Didn’t you know
I was waiting on you
Waiting on a dream

My face turnt to stone
When I heard the news

[Chorus:]
When you decide to break the rules
Cause I just heard some real bad news

[Verse 2:]
People will talk
Like it’s old news
I played it off and act like I already knew
Let me ask you
How long have you known too
You played it off and act like he’s brand new

[Chorus:]
When you decide to break the rules
Cause I just heard some real bad news

Oh you just gonna
Keep another love for you

While I’m waiting on a dream
That’ll never come true

Oh you just gonna
Keep it like you never knew

My face turnt to stone
When I heard the news

Let me know
Do I still got time to grow
Things ain’t always set and stone
Let me know, Let me know

Seems life

Street lights, glowing
Happen to be just like mornings
Passing, in front of me
So I hopped in
The cab and I paid my fairs
See I know my, destination
But I’m just not there

All the street lights, glowing
Happen to be just like moments
Passing, in front of me
So I hopped in
The cab and I paid my fairs
See I know my, destination
But I’m just not there

In the streets [x2]

I’m just not there
In the streets
I’m just not there
Life’s just not fair

Seems like street lights, glowing
Happen to be just like moments
Passing, in front of me
So I hopped in
The cab and I paid my fairs
See I know my, destination
But I’m just not there

All the street lights, glowing
Happen to be just like moments
Passing, in front of me
So I hopped in
The cab and I paid my fairs
See I know my, destination

I’m just not there
In the streets
I’m just not there
Life’s just not fair
Life’s just not fair.

[Verse 1:]
‘Bout the baddest girl I ever seen
Straight up outta movie scene
Who knew she was a drama queen
That’ll turn my life to Stephen King’s

Up late night like she on patrol
Checkin everything like I’m on parole

She never let it go (oh)

[Hook:]
Okay okay

You’ll never stop it now

[Verse 2:]
Just lookin at your history
You’re like the girl from misery
She said she ain’t take it to this degree

Keep it up enough to keep it goin on

She never let it go (oh)

So now, you here with me, social gratitude, leave the attitude way back at home
Yeah, you see ‘em look, baby, let ‘em look, give you cold looks cause we look cold
Yeah, you heard about all the word of mouth, don’t worry about what we can’t control
All the talk in the world, loss in the world ’till you finally let that thing gooo

Had to run from you
I’m in love with you
But the vibe is wrong
And that haunted me
All the way home

So u never know

Never know enough
Till it’s over love
Till we lose control
System overload
Screamin no no no no noooo

I’m not lovin you
Way I wanted to
See I wanna move
But can’t escape from you
So I keep it low
Keep a secret code
So everybody else don’t have to know

So keep your love lockdown
Your love lockdown

Keepin your love lockdown
Your love lockdown

Now keep your love lockdown
Your love lockdown

Now keep your love lockdown
You lose

I’m not lovin you
Way I wanted to
I can’t keep my cool
So I keep it true
I got something to lose
So I gotta move
I can’t keep myself & still keep you too

So I keep in mind
When I’m on my own
Somewhere far from home
In the danger zone
How many times did I take for it finally got through
You lose, you lose

I’m not lovin you
Way I wanted to
See I had to go
See I had to move
No more wastin time
You can’t wait for life
We’re just racin time
Where’s the finish line

So keep your love lockdown
Your love lockdown

Keepin your love lockdown
Your love lockdown

Now keep your love lockdown

Now keep your love lockdown
You lose

I know I said I’m through
But got love for you
But I’m not lovin you
Way I wanted to

Gotta keep it goin
Keep the lovin goin
Keep it on a road
Only God knows
If I’ll be with you
Baby I’m confused
You choose, you choose

I’m not lovin you
Way I wanted to
Where I want’a go
I don’t need you
I’ve been down this road
Too many times before
I’m not lovin you
Way I wanted to

So keep your love lockdown
Your love lockdown

Keepin your love lockdown
Your love lockdown

Now keep your love lockdown
Your love lockdown

Now keep your love lockdown
You lose [x5].
