[Verse 1]
It's an emergency
I needed you to come rescue my heart urgently
Oh, baby, but you never changed
So the same things kept hurting me
Now I see perfectly what went wrong
Hey-ey-ey

[Pre-Chorus]
Countless times I begged you to listen
Now, you want me to think you got the message
I know I said "it's over" the last time that we broke up
But I'ma say it clear and loud
I bet you care and hear me now

[Chorus]
The expiration date that I gave to you
Has now come and gone so I have to move
And that's when love stopped, died, and you know
It's too late for me to hold on
The expiration date is when our love fades away

[Verse 2]
It's so stupid to me
But I'm already over the shit that you did to me
But there's so many parts of our broken history
That I mentally erased from my mind
Hey-ey-ey

[Pre-Chorus]
Countless times I begged you to listen
Now, you want me to think you got the message
I know I said "it's over" the last time that we broke up
But I'ma say it clear and loud
I bet you care and hear me now

[Chorus]
The expiration date that I gave to you
Has now come and gone so I have to move
And that's when love stopped, died, and you know
It's too late for me to hold on
The expiration date is when our love fades away

[Verse 3]
I said, I think it's kinda funny now
How you wanna hang around
How 'bout you get your shit and get out?
'Cause I don't want you around
When you had the change
You just couldn't manage
The time that we spent
You just took advantage of love

[Chorus]
The expiration date that I gave to you
Has now come and gone so I have to move
And that's when love stopped, died, and you know
It's too late for me to hold on
The expiration date is when our love fades away

Jhené Aiko Efuru Chilombo (born March 16, 1988) started her career under the moniker Jhené Aiko when she was 13 with the music group B2K. She explained how she later opted out of the deal to go back to high school and have her daughter Namiko in an interview back in July 2012 with Lozza

I was signed with Sony/EPIC when I was 12 years old and got a release from them when I was about 15 or 16 to focus on school. I started writing more and I had a child who’s now three years old.

After the failed release of her debut album, My Name Is Jhené back in 2003, Jhené released her debut mixtape, Sailing Soul(s) on March 16, 2011.
