[Intro]
Ooh, oh
Hey, hey, hey
Oh
Some

[Verse 1]
Yeah, sometimes, I was the one
Yeah, I was the one runnin' 'round, actin' wild
And sometimes, you was the one turnin' up with your girls
Only sometimes
Now my heart's stuck in the middle
All in the mirror
Made my mistakes, but I love my kid, oh
My wrongs, got a list a mile long

[Chorus]
Yeah, now you wish I was the one
Wish I was the one who couldn't sleep now
Wish I was the one who couldn't eat now
Wish I was the one who couldn't breathe without the other one
Now, ooh, you
I'm the one that's s'posed to be broken
Break me down and build me up
Wish that I could meet you halfway
But I don't have the heart
Ooh, ooh, don't have the heart
Oh, yeah, oh

[Verse 2]
You say you wanted love
Yeah, I gave you that and more
Yeah, but when it came to trust
We both fucked up
Talkin' 'bout, "I saw you with your side ho"
I was looking for someone to ride for
The ring and the promise I gave you was only a milestone
Now we both wakin' up lookin' for missed calls and dial tones
And I'm sick of dreamin' 'bout you (Woah)
Now you sick of seein' my daughter
Her eyes look like mine
Now I'm forced to pick sides

[Chorus]
Yeah, now you wish I was the one
Wish I was the one who couldn't sleep, babe (Oh)
Wish I was the one who couldn't eat, babe
Wish I was the one who couldn't breathe without the other one
And now, baby
I'm the one that's s'posed to be broken (Broken)
Break me down and build me up (Woah)
Wish that I could meet you halfway
But I don't have the heart
Woah, no, woah, yeah
Don't have the heart
Oh, yeah, oh

[Bridge]
Girl, you was s'posed to have the first pick (Oh)
And I don't go to church like you wish I did (Oh)
I put us in this predicament
I wish you could believe me
Cryin' ain't easy
Trust me, baby, I need you to hold me
I miss my friend (My friend)
Netflix and chill at the crib
Mind, body and soul, you my rib (Yeah)

[Chorus]
Why you wish I was the one? (Oh-oh)
Wish I was the one who couldn't sleep
Wish I was the one who couldn't eat
Wish I was the one who couldn't breathe without the other one
Now, ooh, you, you
I'm the one that's s'posed to be broken
You the one to break me down and build me up (Woah)
Wish that I could meet you halfway
But I don't have the heart (Ooh)
I don't have the heart
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh

Grammy-winning R&B singer, rapper, dancer, graffiti artist, illustrator and the first male lead artist to have his debut single top the Billboard Hot 100 in 8 years with “Run It!” in 2005, Breezy is undoubtedly a multifaceted artist. To add to this, he is the father of Royalty, a princess and the inspiration for his 7th studio album Royalty.

It’s undeniable his ability as a musician, dancer, and all-round entertainer. At the 54th Annual Grammy Awards (February 12th, 2012) his 4th studio album F.A.M.E. won the award for Best R&B Album and a huge number of other awards and nominations ranging from his debut as a 16 year old in 2005 to his most recent projects.

Brown’s career is long-lived, pristine and all about his music with hits such as “Look At Me Now,” “Turn Up the Music,” and “Loyal,” and successful collaborations with Omarion on his hit “Post to Be” and Lil Dicky's “Freaky Friday” in recent years.
